We will all hope for a good few extra years for Henry.

Has your vet suggested Epatikin? You sprinkle it on their food and it helps bind excess phosphorus. Will you give subq fluids?
I will ask if there are any meds to sprinkle on food, thanks for that suggestion. What exactly is subq fluids?
He did have metacam which was a fluid, on the leaflet that came with it it said it was for muscular-skeletal problems, however the vet told me to stop putting the drops on his food as this particular one wasn't good for cats with kidney problems.

The anti-biotics are called Amox and have penecillin in them, twice daily. He also has two weeks worth of Fortekor, once daily. The vet didn't explain what this was for, and it didn't come with a leaflet, just in an envelope.
