My cat, Willow, has chronic kidney disease. According to people in the CKD Facebook groups I joined, given his numbers, he shouldn't be looking so sick after he eats. Not every day, but a lot of the time. He often looks dehydrated on these bad days, and his vet has not put him on any sub-q...

I bought my kitty a supplement for his heart and noticed it contains vegetable glycerin. Just wondering if this is considered alcohol and if it would be bad for a cat with liver problems? His vet looked over my list of supplements/ingredients and said they were fine. But I still worry because I...

My cat has severely elevated liver enzymes, had both of these done, and the only conclusion made is that his liver appears small, comparable to that of an older cat, and he's only 3.5 years old. Some days he seems lethargic and just doesn't seem himself. I have him on Denamarin, 1 pill a day...

I took my cat to the vet today for further work-up on his heart & liver. If you've been following this, you know he had an elevated cardio-BNP and sky-high liver enzymes. Unfortunately the vet couldn't do the echocardiogram, but here are the results of what he could do... - blood pressure -...

My cat may have heart disease and I was planning to start him on some supplements for his heart - taurine is one. I'm just wondering if it's possible to give a cat too much taurine. One of his supplements, a chewable which he LOVES, will contain 125mg (per day, as I give him 1/2 of a tablet)...

I have my cat, Willow, scheduled for his ultrasounds this Saturday so that we can figure out exactly why his liver enzymes and cardio-BNP are elevated, and I've never had a cat that needed one before. So I have some questions. Will they shave his fur off? Will they sedate him? And if so, by...

Gelatin, medium chain triglycerides, polysorbate 80, glycerin, triacetin, purified water, high P.C. soy lecithin, beeswax, carob extract and titanium dioxide. I'm thinking of ordering this for my kitty with heart issues, the reason I ask...

Veraflox is a relatively new drug, so I wanted to be certain it was 'liver safe' since originally my vet was ready to put a cat with ALT levels almost 6 times high normal on 6 weeks of low-dose metronidazole for clostridium perfigens, even though this drug had lost its effectiveness early on in...

My cat Willow had his blood drawn on Monday I believe it was, to check for hyperthyroidism. Still haven't heard back from his vet. It also took a while (10 days maybe?) for me to hear back from his vet regarding blood work he had done the week prior too. I know they use an outside lab for some...

Just got my cat's blood work results, and his liver enzymes are sky high, ALK phosphatase, ALT, and AST - all of them. His ALT is over 5 times the highest normal.  Cardiopet proBNP is also high, which indicates increased stretch and stress on the myocardium. This is also one of the (two) cats...

…my cat is looking sickly every time he eats his current food? I really don't 'think' this is just food allergies - I think it's an infection - but since that's what my vet has been pushing, I decided to order some canned cat food just in case - rabbit - no poultry, beef, or fish/fish oils. I'm...

I can't post a link yet because I'm new here, but how many people here are aware of this link? I lost several cats to kidney failure over the years and truly regret vaccinating them for this and other diseases. Apparently the distemper virus is cultured in kidney cells, and eventually the...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and this is very long. I'm so sorry, but I'm desperate and feel every detail might be important. Here goes... I have 2 cats, approximately 3.5 years old, who have suffered with chronic loose or soft stools since the day I brought them home. Their stools can range in...
