Well, as I stated, my plan is to try to move her to wet food. The "trash in a bag" is all I have right now. It seems to work for millions of others. While I understand the opinion is that Tiki, Weruva and the like are often highly regarded, I'm not sure that's a fact. In any case, thanks so much...

Hey! Update. I switched her to a sample I had on hand, Hill's Science Diet r/x (dry food). She loves it!!! And, I slipped her 1/4 of a Pepcid pill per the vet along with her high BP meds last night. First morning in a long time with no throw up on the blankets!! Win!!! I think that because she...

Hi Feebys. So this weekend she's eating her old food as a sort of test. I can't find any info on that brand so I emailed them (Crave Indoor Cat Food). She threw up on the bed at 3am this morning. I don't think it was a full stomach of food though, like it has been in the past. I'm trying to see...

I meant to add, she does like Merrick Ltd Ingredient Chicken. I think that's lower in phos. but am not sure. I can't find this info anywhere on the webs for Crave/Merrick. It's really aggravating.

Hey everyone! So the vet prescribed Royal Canin, as that's all she had on hand and I wanted to get started. I was originally feeding Zoe Crave, high protein, high phos. She loves it. I managed to get her switched over to Royal Canin, and now she's throwing up every night. Every morning I find a...

Hi Feebys, do you think I should go off Tanya's list for canned food? I've been feeding her Crave, which she likes. It's higher protein, but I think high phosphorous too. The canned food is a much longer project in switching her. I found an article that talks about how to do it. It's my...

Hi everyone, just a quick update. I finally got the records from the mobile vet. He was terrible. It shouldn't be that hard. I almost had to threaten. My regular vet reviewed and mostly agreed with the diagnoses. She says Stage 2 CKD is considered early. Whether or not that's true it gives me...

Interesting. The list is indeed long. Thanks for sharing. I'm on the search for a good vet and hopefully can get Zoe the help she needs.

Thing is, it sounds like ultrasound is done to confirm suspected cancer and that's it. If that's the case, then definitely not putting her through that. "Academic purposes" - yes, absolutely.

Thank you so much loves. I feel so welcome here and honestly, I have moments of extreme sadness and lost feelings. It's great to come here and hear from you and get experience, strength and hope.

MissClouseau, lovely name btw. Interesting about the puking. She does go awhile without food. Sleep for an hour or two or three, get up, drink/eat, pee/poo, sleep. I'm guessing that this vet took the test results and my report of puking and turned that into liver cancer. This vet was not my...

Hi LTS3 - I missed your post. See above. Thanks so much for your thoughts. I think the glucose is less concerning to me than the ALT and BUN numbers

Hi again fionasmom and mrsgreenjeans (love your sweet angels): I don't know if she'd allow for ultrasound with no anesthesia. Her usual vet is great and removed the cyst with just a local and no general anesthesia. But Zoe is a really active cat! She's squirely and doesn't like to hold still...

Hi, and thank you!! The foamy vomiting is the only out of ordinary thing, and why I called a vet. Plus, she was overdue for a checkup. It was so strange. It's happened 2 times in the past 6 months or so. She first hacks up a hairball, then does it again and again only foam comes out. She then...

Hi everyone! I'm new here. My cat Zoe, 14 yrs. was recently seen and has some not so great blood test results. The high numbers are: Glucose 171 mg/dL - normal 63-148 Creatine 2.6 mg/dL - normal .6-2.2 BUN 42 mg/dL - normal 15-40 Globulins 5.1 g/dL - normal 2.8-4.9 ALT 244 U/L - normal 26-143...
