Hi CatLadyVetTech, thanks for responding!  We think sub-cutaneous fluids would be hard given our cat just lives with my elderly mom so it would be a struggle just for one person (we think).  Also, we think it would stress out our cat majorly.  However, given all the responses regarding sub-q...

2bCat / MomofMaxwell / momto3cats - Many thanks for all your replies!  I also had another quick chat with the vet today to update him on his constipation.  Also now it's been a week since his vet visit and he looks so much better, gained some weight and very alert which I believe is good news! I...

2bcat, White Shadow and MomofMaxwell- thank you all for your replies! 2bcat - How long has your cat been diagnosed and what is his/her creatinine levels do you know? I totally did not realize that the fluid that makes the kidney disease better may make the heart disease worse so thank you so...

Sorry - I didn't realise I had posted this thread twice!  Must have accidentally clicked submit for the prior post.  I can't figure out how to delete the earlier repeated posting...

Hi  all - I would like some advice and support from you all regarding my 15 year old male Turkish Angora. It seems like he may have kidney disease based on a recent blood test. I have gone through Tanya's CKD website which I found had lots of information.  Unfortunately I am unable to join her...

Just noticed some more odd behavior .... Forgetful, not drinking from his plate and sipping from the shower, stepping into the wet shower floor (which he usually doesn't like) - overall just seems like he's forgotten his old habits. Is this a result of old age? Do cats become forgetful and...

Thanks Moonchnnoodles. We haven't gone to the vet yet as it is a very traumatic experience for us and I also worry it does even more damage to him by stressing him out so much. The vets have a hard time keeping him down and one time he struggled so much one of his claws got pulled off. Very...

Hi all, my cat is currently 14 years old.  Good health except a case of crystals a couple of years ago when we switched him to tap water briefly (we had always fed distilled water). We noticed he has recently been pooping on the bed (which is the same area where he sleeps). Since he was young...

Thanks for the replies 2Cats4Me and Smarty FOJ.  I'm just a bit worried about introducing grain-free dry food at this age, even if he hasn't been diagnosed with any kidney problems (touch wood), which is why I am a bit hesitant about Taste of the Wild (mentioned above) and also Orijen which I...

Hi all! Need some help on choosing a good dry food replacement for our senior cat as he no longer likes the Wellness chicken dry food.  Note we do NOT feed dry food exclusively and he also has a good mix of WET food (favorites include the pate types such as Natural BalanceTurkey & Giblets...

Hi fellow cat lovers! My cat is currently 11 years old, and is very healthy and lively. He just recently got his annual check-up at the vet - Bloodwork looks good, also did an ultrasound and kidneys look fine. Teeth are good too, and we have got into the habit of cleaning his teeth for him...
