A few months ago I told you about my now 18 yr old
calico crying all the time. The advice most of you
gave was to take her to the vet. You were very right.
Her BUN was 53 and the vet put her on Waltham's Renal
Support. Her latest blood test was good news, bad news.
Her BUN dropped to 35 (borderline CRF) but the vet now
wants to put her on Hill's L/D because of liver problems.
Also he is recommending Sam-E (something that helps the
liver function better)I am getting both for her this weekend
and she'll get 50/50 Waltham's renal support and Hill's L/D.
The Sam-E is a tablet you can crush up and add to the Hill's
L/D (canned). He also has her on amoxicillin for 10 days
and she is now getting VAL syrup ( a vitamin supplement )
every day for the rest of her life.
I'm doing everything I can to keep her going short of a feeding
tube which she doesn't need yet and I personally don't believe
in at all. Another problem is her weight has dropped from 4 1/2
pounds to 3 1/2 pounds since I put her on Waltham's.
My question is does anyone know what you can feed a cat to increase
their weight that contains no or low protein and phosphorus?
So far noone has an answer to this - not even my vet.
Please help if you can.
