Update on Kelcee

[tomkatzid]

She is on 5 meds now. Vet says months rather than years to live. I CAN NOT believe it. She seems so good. But on the inside I guess her kidneys are at risk. We cannot change her food to a kidney diet, cause she might stop eating again. She is really like her old self. But the numbers on the kidneys rose a 'lot' he said. Her blood pressure is on the high end, but not overly so.
This is what she is on now:
Prednisone 5 mg every other day
2.5 mg Benazepril
2.5 Pepcid AC
.5 Derm Caps Liquid (fish oil stuff)
1/2 tsp Tumil-K Gel
So 5 things to cram in every day. She hates it all. I hate that she has to take so much. One of the vets found a study that showed this combination of drugs helped with the kidney failure.
But as of today, she is good !!

Kelcee is so beautiful! She looks like Tangee. I am so sorry that she is so sick. I have dealt with terminally ill babies more than I would have liked to. I am new here so don't know the whole story about what is wrong with her. You said something about kidney failure. I know how stressful it is to have one of your babies so ill and nothing you can do for them. I know when Shoo was so sick he was also on the tumil k. He wouldn't eat and would be on fluids, and I would have to force feed him. I don't know what food kelcee is on right now. have you ever tried the Science diet a/d? It is prescription food and that was the only thing shoo would eat when he got so sick. I hope you have more time with her than your vet says. Our babies can sometimes fool us and epsecially the vets. My Shoo lived three years longer than he was suppose to. When he got so sick the first time, the vet said he should have died, but my Shoo was a fighter and I truly believe he did it for me. i will pray kelcee can stay strong and you have many more good days with her.
Doo=^..^=

Thanks for the update. I wish it was a happier one and that she didn't have to take so many meds. Hopefully the meds will allow her to continue to live a much longer and happier life with you. She's such a gorgeous cat. More prayers and positive thoughts are on the way. Please take care.

I am so sorry that life is so hard for you both right now. 5 Meds is a lot for a kitty (heck ,it it a lot for a person!). But I pray that she will continue to feel well and thrive for a long time to come.
