    Establishing cat's death cause

    Thank you for the replies. I'm feeling better now - not that it's anywhere close to "good" cause after 20 years together every little routine we used to do together that we now can't is reminding me of her but it's surely better than two days ago or even yesterday. All the best to you all.

    Establishing cat's death cause

    Thanks for the reply.  I know there's no way to be sure , it's just that all those weird thoughts pop into my mind, like I about whether I could have done anything better (CPR? Trying to put the limbs up to encourage blood to travel to the brain?) or if maybe that was just a faint and I...

    Establishing cat's death cause

    I see, thank you for your replies. I just hoped that by giving as specific of a description as I can, it would be possible to pinpoint the reason of her sudden passing, like maybe that the very puffed up tail she had when she way laying there is typical of some specific disease or something...

    Establishing cat's death cause

    My almost 20yo kitty just passed away a few moments ago. It was so sudden and unexpected, I'd just like to know what the reason may have been. She was behaving absolutely normally - she was playing with me and jumping around the furniture just yesterday and this morning she was happy as ever. I...

    Cat being very picky with eating

    The thing is, her appetite isn't worse at all - she still eats as much as she used to but I just have to do way more to be sure she does... To show you even better what I'm talking about, I'll tell you a situation from yesterday: she ate a whole can of food in the morning. Then, she came to eat...

    Cat being very picky with eating

    For quite a few weeks now, my cat has developed a very picky way of eating - sometimes she comes to her bowl normally and eats like she literally hasn't eaten anything EVER and on other occasions, she just sniffs the food and turns around looking at me trying to make me open a new can for her or...

    Cat slightly shivering when lying down?

    I doubt it, to be honest. The shivering associated with purring is usually rather stable in rhythm while this one is rather like: nothing-nothing-nothing-slight shiver-nothing-nothing-head bounce and so on. The thing I described doesn't take as long as reading this does, of course, I just...

    Cat slightly shivering when lying down?

    My 18yo pussy has been having problems with this for some time now - when she's lying down, more often than not, she tends to shiver a bit. It's not constant shivering and it's definitely less vigorous than shivering when you're cold or such. Nonetheless, it happens more or less every time she...

    CKD cat blood works fluctuations?

    Nope, thankfully no reason to. She eats without problems. The problem may be hypertension cause after measuring it at the vet's today, it turned out to be over 200. The tests will be repeated tomorrow to ensure accuracy and if they happen to be bad again, we'll kick in with hypertension...

    CKD cat blood works fluctuations?

    Long story short, I took my cat (16yo) to the vet around a month ago because she didn't want to eat for two days. The blood works were done and it turned out she had creatinine 2.0mg/dL and BUN 107.4mg/dL. Renal food once a day and Ipakitine phosphate reductor twice a day were prescribed and the...

    Renal cat food vs. regular one + phosphate reductor?

    Thanks a lot for the great answers. The website you linked to, mrsgreenjeens, looks great and I'll surely learn a lot from there! Thankfully my cat is not a picky eater. Sure, she had two or three occurrences when she didn't want to eat _anything_ for almost two days in the last month (that's...

    Renal cat food vs. regular one + phosphate reductor?

    So my pussy had blood works done a few days ago and it turned out her creatinine and urea levels are elevated (2.0mg/dL, 107.4mg/dL respectively). The veterinarian recommended giving my cat the Ipakitine powder for a week and conducting the blood works again to see how she reacts and I'm curious...

    Cat stopped eating the cat food

    I have a 14 year old pussy. A few days ago, she started being hesitant to eating cat food she's always been eating and just started eating less. Being worried by it, I bought her pate instead of the flaked food thinking it might be her teeth and she did eat it kind of according to her regular...
