About a week ago I woke up an noticed that my cat's eye was a bit watery, and when I picked her up and thought I saw a hair over her eye. She's had a watery eye before due to allergies or minor irritation so I didn't think much of it, but it seemed to get a bit worse over the next couple of days...

My cat has been eating Ultamino since the beginning of the summer to combat her food allergy. Over the summer there was a brief period where I ran out, and I decided enough time had gone by so I bought some Hills Oral Care chicken, but a few weeks later her ear infections came right back. Since...

I've had my cat for about 6 months. She was a street cat so we had some health concerns to tackle along the way, but the lingering problem is her breath. It's just plain awful. The vet does see some gingivitis, though not bad enough that we need to do an urgent deep cleaning plus extractions...

Another saga in the adventures of my cat's CKD! The D-Mannose hasn't worked for her, and now she's battling yet another UTI which we've been treating with antibiotics the past two weeks. We ran a culture and the vet said we're using the right med. She seemed to be perking up after about 5 days...

My cat has stage 3 CKD which I've been mostly keeping under control with her diet and sub-Q fluids at home. She gets frequent UTIs (I've posted about them here before) and is currently dealing with another, and she's also being treated for hyperthyroidism (numbers are good). This past spring we...

I posted a lot this past Fall about my CKD cat who wasn't doing well - super lethargic, weak, seizures, repeated visits to the vet, high numbers. I'm glad to report that we were able to get her CKD back under control and she regained her strength. She gets fluids at home very 2-3 days, eats and...

I posted last week about getting my CKD cat to eat after being diagnosed with a bladder infection. Fast forward, after a couple rounds of sub-Q fluids and letting her antibiotic go to work a bit more, she has regained much of her appetite and I'm cautiously optimistic that she's recovering...

I posted a few days back about getting my CKD cat with a UTI to eat. The good news is that the antibiotics have *knock on wood* done the trick and she's been getting back to her old self. The bad news is that she's developed an extremely fussy taste for food. She follows me around the house...

TL;DR - Senior CKD cat is one day into her antibiotic treatment for UTI. Drinks on her own but doesn’t want to eat. Full Story - My cat was diagnosed with CKD a little over a year ago and I've been able to manage it pretty well. A few weeks ago I took her for a 6 month kidney blood panel check...
