I really hope he continues to improve. It sounds like he is feeling better.

This is one cat I'd love to say was fat. But..he never was, he has always been a sleek panther of a Curl.
We've just been checking T4, liver and kidney values for the repeats, I honestly don't think we did a cbc with the initial that showed his T4 being off. I'll ask next time I speak with her. Hopefully, we'll have that u/s this week..I wanna know what's going on, and fix it!Originally Posted by sashacat421
Pat, I'm crossing fingers and paws that this interlude w/not eating will just pass or be attributed to the meds. Sammy tested at .77 for T4, he barely is even showing a thyroid and I worry about all kinds of things with him. What bodes well is his liver coming in clean - that's really good. What is his white blood cell count? Do you know?
Thank you for your note. I am so sorry about your kitty. I wish I could say that this was my first time dealing with crf, but I just lost Patrick this past March, he and I dealt with his crf for almost 4 years. Pepcid was most definitely Patrick's friendOriginally Posted by techiegirl
Hi there,
I was reading your thread about Tyler and just wanted to let you know I am sending thoughts and prayers your way! I have a cat in kindney failure and I work PT at a cat retirement home where there are several with CRF as well, so I know how hard it all can be.
Is he still vomiting?
Has your vet ever had you use Famotidine? My cat and several of the ones where I work are on it and it has made a huge difference in decreasing/eliminating the vomiting that CRF cats get.
It's OTC - Pepcid AC 10mg tablets. 1/4 tab=2.5mg, once a day. See what your vet thinks and good luck!
