I invested in the pill plunger and it can get it in his mouth but he will hold it and spit it out. So far the nasty bitter Pepcid AC on the gums has worked to get it in him. A Holistic vet has me trying a ginger tincture. He hates that taste too but once I can get that in him consistently I will...

Thank you. Sorry about your cat and I hope that she is doing better. I went to a Holistic Vet today and he said fluids twice a week not every other day and 150ml not 200 to not drown him. He said that he was hydrated today and he hasn't had any fluids since Sunday. Monday he had stem collection...

I saw someone pill a cat the way I do the Pepcid on Youtube. He doesn't foam but he hates the bitter taste. I prefer he eat the pill in a greenie pill pocket but he won't anymore. He drinks 3 oz a day sometimes 4 and has moisture in his 4 jars of baby food (sometimes 5 jars). The acupuncture is...

So far his breathing is ok. It was 21 a minute last night when I counted with a stopwatch app while he was resting. His murmur and bp are the same as last month when he had the ultrasound. The ultrasound showed the beginnings of oxalate formations but not yet stones.The Clavamox he is on is...

I have a holistic vet coming to the house now (twice so far) and she said that fluids every three days or twice a week would be enough. His murmur and bp were checked Friday (today is Sunday) and they are both the same as the week he was diagnosed with CKD going on six weeks ago. That is good...

I was told by the owner at the local nutrition store to be careful that it has no alcohol in the slippery elm and no "inactive ingredients" that might be dangerous for cats or CRD. She is very experienced more so than many vets. I was also told not to try too many things at once without the...

My cat was diagnosed 7/20/15 with CKD stage 2. BUN 55 Creatinine 2.7 No stones found in ultrasound, small oxalate seen that aren't stones yet,  He has a heart murmur that he didn't have in Dec that he did have in March. Vet presumed that CKD likely caused by previous infection could be...

In month since last labs his BUN didn't change but Creatinine has exploded. He was on baby food which was temporary because low in phosphorus but high in protein, and 200 ml subcutaneous (Normosol R every other day). Stem cell as soon as possible. Vet doesn't know what it is but suspects some...

i'm about crazy trying to feed my cat now that he was diagnosed a month ago with CKD. What supplements are safe for him with CKD  to replace the vitamins, minerals and amino acids (besides taurine)? I have read not too much magnesium, or calcium. He has the beginnings of oxalate stones in the...

There is a store within 25 miles that has the Weruva and I will see if he will eat something from that brand. He likes pate but before he was diagnosed with CKD they gave me free samples of A/D at the vet and if I blended it to mush he ate some of it.  I have been on many if not all of Tanya...

There is a store within 25 miles that has the Weruva but nowhere within 50 miles for Lotus or RadCat. I had tried him on a raw frozen I think Natures Variety but it was when he had the UTI in June and he didn't want any part of it even when I tried to slightly cook it as recommended for...

To skip right through to my questions go to the lines that have ** My cat turned 10 the end of May. The beginning of June he seemed ill, lethargic and some vomiting and I took a urine free catch sample to the vet where I am currently staying. He had a wellness blood panel in March and the urine...

I prayed for you and ask that you pray for Callie who was dx'd with c also. We were told on Wednesday that she had 4-6 months to live which was a surprise because she seemed to be doing good but he said that the growth rate indicated that time frame. Then this morning (Sunday) she was hot and...

She didn't like being fed with a syringe. The biopsy report is back and it is negative!! The vet thought it was cancer and when I researched it and found 90% of mammary tumors in cats are cancer I had Callie prayed for (check out prayerforpets if you don't already know about it). Callie was...
