Well we are trying the Zeniquin first to see if it helps, and while she mentioned there are other potential drugs that can be tried, the side effects and results aren't very predictable. So it's hard to tell if they would do more harm than good. From researching online it appears that others...

Let me preface this by saying we just got back from the vet and had a complete blood and urine panel taken, as well as an x-ray. In the past few months Reggie has continued leaking urine while he's sleeping only. He does not "go" anywhere else or leak any while awake, it's just when he's...

I'm going to try this new cleaner. I've also put another box down there for him to use so we'll see if that helps. Thanks. Has anyone else has this behavior?

He did a urinalysis and all was well. So this cleaner, is it more to just clean the concrete or will it deter him from going in this area?

He has been to the vet recently for a blood panel which came back fine, and actually a tad better than the prior test. We threw out the carpet he was going on this week, but tonight we cleaned it with paper towels (its on concrete) and put down some febreeze to mask the oder. Is there...

I have a 15 year old who for about the past year has been urinating outside of his litter box. In the basement, there was a bunch of boxes and low carpet near his box that I kept finding pools of urine. He still uses his box too, but every few days or once a week he would go near it. This...

Reggie just turned 15 in February and has been dealing with kidney disease (failure) for over a year now. Besides weight loss he's really been fine and recently has gained some weight back. However the past few months he's starting doing something new. While he's sleeping, because his...

Interesting. Recently Reggie's weight has leveled off, even increased on some days. We feed him Science Diet KD which is supposed to be good for kidney disease. He seems to like it and while he doesn't always eat it all everyday we mix in regular canned food for a little flavor and he LOVES...

I had tests done a few months ago and none of the levels were extremely bad but they were lower than normal. Typical of a CRF cat I'm told. I put a little tuna fish water in his water to make him interested in drinking more too.

Thank you for the tips. She did suggest warming the tube in a bowl of water during the injection but I've read online that you can warm the whole bag in a bowl of warm water before the injection which sounds even easier. I hope Reggie lives as long as he can but with his weight loss it...

Reggie has lost a good deal of weight and is down to 9 lbs. When you pet his back you can feel his spine and all of the bones. We're starting off giving him 150cc once or twice a week depending on how he does. His potassium level is good due to potassium powder we've been giving him with his...

It's also an 18g needle and she warned to be very careful with it. The injection seems to be quick and only take a few seconds, but it's the couple minutes it takes to finish that concerns me with keeping him calm and accepting of whats going on. How long has Coco had CRF? Has she lost weight?

Reggie has kidney failure and has been losing weight over the last year or so. My vet said the next step to help him feel a little better and keep him hydrated is to give him fluid injections. We brought him to the vet last night and she showed us how to do it. I put the needle in myself and...

I am waiting to seal the holes because if I did use the poison, you are supposed to allow them to leave through where they came in. The poison dehydrates them and they desperately seek out water. The first place they go is where they came in, and they die outside. If the entrance is sealed I...

Well, I've learned more about them the past week. I am pretty sure that they are coming in via 2 holes under my front bay window. I am going to dig it out and fill it with either rocks and metal mesh or concrete. However I am holding off on that until I decide whether I am going to use poison...

Well, I wish it were that simple. We've caught 13 over the last 2 weeks and they aren't out in the open. They stay confined to a small closet area and in a wall around the closet in the basement. Reggie is 14 years old so he isn't such a hunter and don't think he's up to the task. We would...

So I've been blessed with a mice problem in my basement. We've been catching a bunch of small field mice in a basement closet. Have not seen a single one elsewhere in the house so far (upstairs/2nd level). I've called numerous exterminators and each one has told me they would use poison so...

Wow, thanks for all the replies everyone! I'm bringing Reg to the vet tomorrow morning for the "works". I'm not too worried about anything but it's always good to know everything's fine. About his weight, when I inheritied him from my Grandma a year ago he was 23.3 pounds. Since then he's lost...

So my Reggie is 11 years old. Relatively good health, just overweight (but hes lost a perfect amount since I've owned him). Last time I was at the vet I asked about blood panels and they gave me some prices and information. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the tests.. Chemistry...

Wanted to update my thread here as it's been a little while now. Reggie has been doing great! His dead is 95% back to normal with only about 2" at the end that is kinda turned down a little bit, but each day its getting more and more active. He's back to swinging his tail all over (actually...
