Prayers for Luke please - gone to the Rainbow Bridge

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Luke has not been feeling well for a while now and has been in and out of the vet's for the past month. He was doing better but not great. They checked him again today and said he is in the beginning stages of cronic renal failure.

They gave him a med called Azodyl to take and we get to start the dreaded sub q fluids Sunday. Well, they gave him some at the vet today but I am to give it to him every other day then take him in for a recheck on Friday. Hopefully, then it will only be needed once a week or so. One of the vet techs will come and help me the first time.

Plus, they gave us some of the k/d food which he hates. I am allowed to mix it with people tuna if needed.

Luke is 15 years and 5 mo old.

He would appreciate your prayers and so will I.
Please pray for us both.

My thoughts are with Luke. Barbara's Filou has lived with chronic renal problems (and the weekly sub-q) for a number of years. I saw him last month and you would never guess there is anything amiss.

So...keep the faith!

I will definitely keep Luke in my thoughts. My Taz is on the k/d food as well. He eats it pretty good, which was suprising to me. Although, he didn't like it with tuna mixed in it.

My Puddy was in CRF for approximately 6 years or so. In the beginning, she was on subQ's every day, then every other day, etc. and she had only one kidney and did great for years. Luke is 15 and just now developing CRF, so I think that once you get the subQ's started, he'll do great, too. They may be dreaded, as you say, right now, but that will change. It'll become routine to you and Luke and you won't even think twice about it. It'll just be part of your day. And, believe it or not, Puddy liked the canned KD, even the dry, too, though not as much. We'll keep the prayers going for all our PT kitties and Luke is right there on the list. Keep the faythe.

I'm so sorry to hear about Luke. May he RIP.

[Emeraldgreen]

I'm very sorry that you have lost your beautiful cat.
Play and run free at the Bridge sweet Luke.

It's worth noting that there are two kinds of canned k/d food. One is the "regular" kind and one has minced chicken. Cats that dislike the regular kind will often eat the one with minced chicken. Also, if neither of these options work, there is k/d kibble, which most cats seem like like.
