I wish he would gain some weight as he's so bony I call him Mr. Bones, but he doesn't seem to be in any distress.

Let's hope all our kidney kats thrive and stick around for a LONG time. Mia is BEAUTIFUL!
Can you buy that without a priscription?Amoxycillin?I'm bringing her back in 6 months for blood redo and I'd like to ask my vet about it.And I'd like much more info on Kidney failure cats...from you or anyone..please.I really would appreciate it.My BooBoo had Thyroid disease and my Dude had Thyroid disease.Both passed on at 17 and 19 years old.(using the meds necessary for longer life).I've never had a kidney diseased cat..so I'm going to look for all the info I can to keep her life going.
Plus I am bringing her pee sample in,in 4 weeks for recheck after to make sure the bacteria is gone...I can ask more questions then.
I'm mixing her kidney food with just a spoonful of the Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance food for a while.She's so good about eating though.No worrys...right now anyway.
