Thank you all for all of this information and encouragement. We inherited my mother-in-law's cat after she died and ultimately lost that cat to CKD and hyperthyroidism, so that is why I am stressing, I guess. When I found out Junie had early CKD, I was at least glad it was early. Food for her...

I hope all goes well with Wille. My cat had the transdermal buprenorphine after dental surgery. She did not poop or sleep for 4 days when it wore off. She did pee, but it would be like every 13-16 hours, so it slowed down her sensation to pee and poop, but she was also hyperactive and paranoid...

Hi! I have a kitty who was diagnosed with early CKD last year. She is 13 years old.She has dental extractions due to resorptive disease last December. Other than the dental situation and the early CKD, she is otherwise doing good health wise. She was picky about her food before surgery...

Wow! I feel your pain. I have 3 cats who are siblings. One tends to be constipated, and I am always looking for food that will help him but NOT cause diarrhea. Foods with oils like sunflower seed oil. My cats also have issues with gums, BUT I recently found that they do not get diarrhea if...

I found hard black pieces in cans of Rawz chicken pate this week. it had ridges/waves on it, so I am doubting it was dried liver. I was wondering if it was part of say packaging for the vitamin mix or something that was accidentally falling into the food when the package was open The problem is...

Thank you so much for this detailed post! I have been pondering whether to ask about this situation with the overgrooming and the teeth for weeks, and I am so glad I did it! Stories like yours let me know I am not alone in this issue with the resportion and cats. The vet actually said I could...

It's interesting that you would say that about self-soothing. The first time he did this and I blamed the Lotus pate, we suspected stress as a cause. I work from home and can literally go months without leaving the house and let other family members run errands. When that situation happened...

Thank you for your time and for this list! If this turns out to be a chicken allergy or fish allergy, it will be very helpful! Their sister has also become more picky since her tooth surgery, so one of these might work there as well. I don't like feeding fish, in general, because they all go...

So, let me see if I understand what you are saying, because my daughter mentioned this is a possibility. Are you saying that the actual pain and trauma of the fractured tooth (his right upper canine down to the gum, which apparently broke easily from him aggressively eating The Honest Kitchen...

Hi! I have an issue with a cat who has itched and pulled his fur/overgroomed on both sides as well as his legs. He did this once before years ago, and we thought it was just stress, until I realized it started when I started feedking Lotus pate (various flavors, some with fish and all with...

Glad she is eating better with her preferred food! I just thought I would mention that I have two cats with tooth resorption. One has had extractions, and the other, her brother, is going to have extractions soon. By stroke of luck, the only treats I have given them are the Blue Buffalo Moist...

By the way, if you can get the Press Your Lunch where you are (or even Weruva Jeopurrdy Licous pouch, which seems more available), it is smooth, so could be syringe fed.

I hope your baby feels better soon!!! :heartshape:

I am dealing with constipation in all three of my cats - one I know is CKD 2. For now, adding Weruva Press Your Lunch at least clears the hard stool out (but does not soften it really), so I am seeking other options - but something about the sunflower oil that is like third ingredient and the...

Just a comment. I did see the Weruva WX on Tanya's site recently. It was up in with the prescription foods, so I nearly missed it! My cats are 12 years old now, so despite not being diagnosed with kidney issues yet, I feel like it is time to be aware of how much phosphorus my kitties are...

I was able to get a few cans of the WX in a small private pet food store, but I have not opened it. My cats are not diagnosed with CKD, but they are 12 years old, so I am starting to pay attention to phosphorus in their foods much more carefully. I picked up a few cans of the chicken options...

Have you tried Lotus Just Juicy? It is shredded with juice - not gooey. I can usually cut the shreds up to smaller pieces. I do find the smaller cans are more consistent. They have chicken, turkey, venison, pork, and a fish one. I will say that they are inconsistent with the amount of...

I thought I would mention the Lotus Turkey pate. The website has it with phosphorus of 1.02 DMB. It also is one of the only pates they have without fish. The rabbit pate also has no fish and has phosphorus of 0.96, but it gave my cat diarrhea (maybe too much salmon oil, as it is higher on the...

Thank you for reminding me about that chart that someone spent hours, days, and likely months on!! I forgot about it. Of course, with COVID, you are right that many formulas have changed, but it's a start! Yes, it is interesting how one cat tolerates certain ingredients but not another. I...

Thanks for the feedback! I did a trial of Rawz before COVID hit. It was more for one of my cats who seems to not tolerate any gums. At that time, constipation was an issue, but I might try only the lower phosphorus flavors this time. I tried The Honest Kitchen Minced night before last. Wow...
