Vickie, My heart goes out to you and Baby. Those are a lot of illnesses to manage! His renal values don't look bad. I imagine that giving diuretics to a cat...
I'm concerned about him having kidney problems, no w/this new pill. Also if his meds have keep being up how long can his kidneys hang. I'm also concerned...
Vickie, It looks like the Enalapril is having some effect on the kidneys but it does not look that bad. Baby's potassium, however, is too low. I have the same...
Hi Vickie! Yeah, I would be concerned about the potassium, too. The fact that it has gone down is not surprising given his age and the renal failure. ...
Vickie, I have been reading the Yahoo-CRF boards for many years now and I have read over and over about potassium. Being below normal is not good, especially...
When I had him as a foster with his siblings, they pretty much rejected most canned foods except Fancy Feast grilled. Here's the ingredient list for the...
Well it's 2 weeks since my Peemyster left and it's still hard to believe. I still can't sleep at night thinking that he should be laying on my legs. Thom...
Baby doesn't have CRF, at this time. My cardio vet called on Sun, and told me to keep him on the new meds, since his #'s didn't go up, and he is eating and...

First, good luck on the tests. I've never heard of a vet keeping the cat overnight for tests, but I hadn't heard of a vet keeping a cat overnight for a spay...

Hello Everyone, I have been lurking on the forum for the last week to try and find info on saddle thrombosis, which is what our 17 year old Moliere is ...
Jerry's doctor heard his murmur during his first check up on our drive home from the animal shelter and the suggested xrays/ultrasound/etc which led to the HCM...
... I'm brand new here, but thought I'd try to help answer this. My cat Bastian had saddle thrombosis on March 5th -- lost full use of his hind end, lost his...
Dear All, I have been waiting to introduce myself and my kitten "Kitten" until we got the results of his ultrasound. I was referred to this group through the...
Johanna, This sounds just like what Meridith's cat Monkey went through. I hope she'll reply to you and talk about her experiences and how she dealt with it....
Well went to the vet today for Sim's full check up. She was going to repeat everything since it has been almost a year since he was diagnosised with RCM....
She said she didn't think was infection because he was acting so normal and showing no other sign of infection but she was going to check. From what I am...
Johanna, Welcome to you and Moliere. I am sorry that Moliere has been dealing with this problem. Don't give up hope on him yet. There are a few cats on this...
Not totally untreatable -- you can use Rutin to try and help, it's used to treat animals with chylothorax. You can get it at GNC for sure, or the Vitamin...
Hi all, I'm new to the list and am trying to figure out all the abbreviations. Could you do me a favor and spell out the diseases you're mentioning once in...
