Can anyone point me in the direction of a recommended food list for CRF kitties?
Casper (who will be 16 early May) was diagnosed today, seems like Stage 2 but on the low side, so I'd like to nip it in the bud as much as we can.
I already know about the two major websites to gather info from and I have a blogger friend who's cat was diagnosed recently that is sending me info on the foods she now feeds him.
Any other info which you think is helpful is very appreciated!
I'm having his full workup sent to me later today but the vet mentioned his urine is quite diluted, Creotine was at 2.4 and B1 at 39. Can't find info on B1 levels yet.
He is drinking and eating fairly ok - better than he did before his diabetes diagnosis, which he is still in remission from, thankfully. I would like to find a good water fountain for him, even though he likes water I think keeping it moving will be healthier. We put out fresh water 2x a day (or more if home) but it does get kind of yicky after a few hours due to him dropping food in it, household dust, etc.
EDIT: He throws up pretty frequently. Sometimes, it can be daily for days in a row and other times, a couple of weeks will go by with no incident. It stopped when he was being treated w/insulin and, started up again once he was in remission. I'm assuming now it could be at least sometimes due to nausea?
