Hello cat lovers!
My 15 year old baby was recently diagnosed with renal disease. I've been struggling to find a more natural and wholesome way to treat her. So far, no symptoms but I want her to be well! I've gradually been changing her dry food and mixing in some canned for that "added moisture" and also adding some fish oil with D vitamin. Also, I've purchased some GNC chewable vitamin treats and she digs 'em. She won't finish all of her food in one sitting though and I'll have to ask her throughout the day if she's hungry. Usually she'll get in a little more food in the evening. (thank god)
I've given her a little nibble of raw chicken to see if she'll eat it because I've been considering the raw diet. I've gotten a few recipes but I just want to make sure she's getting all her nutrients.
There's so much conflicting info out there that I'm kind of feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Any help would be much appreciated!
Here are her numbers thus far:
bun 75 (high)
creatinine 2.2 (normal)
bun/crea ratio 34 (high)
phosphorus 3.9 (normal)
calcium 9.8 (normal)
potassium 3.9 (normal)
amylase 1548 (high)
all her other levels are normal and I'm grateful everything else seems fine so far.
Thanks guys =^. .^=
