Please keep Luna in your thoughts: Crystals! (blood test results: opinions please!!!)

Thank you all!

Jen, I'll keep that Ammonil in mind and will ask my vet if it's available here.

Randi, I'll be very careful with her diet! At the vet's office, they ordered the diet food in cans for me, that way we'll be sure that Lily won't eat it.

Strange; Luna just wanted to eat, stared at the food, but did not eat. It's not too bad because at this point, she would throw it up anyway. But she seems to be hungry, at least she's interested in food, but doesn't eat. Wonder if that's still the dizziness. They also cleaned her teeth when she was sedated (only her molars because her teeth looked actually very good!) and I saw that her gums started bleeding a bit when the tartar was removed. Now I wonder if she's having a tooth ache? When she's still not eating tomorrow, I'll ask my vet about it...

So glad to hear of such welcome news.. no tumors or stones! We are praying and hoping that the special diet food and cranberry paste do the job on the crystals.

And we are praying for good results from the blood work.

Meanwhile, Kirsten and Luna need to get as much rest, TOGETHER, as they can!

Sending our prayers and healing energies and good wishes,
Pat and the cats

I'm glad to hear that Luna doesn't have any tumors or stones.

Hopefully her new diet and cranberry paste will help her crystal problem. I also hope that she'll like eating her new food. I've been adding a fair amount of water to Storm's canned food to make it more like a gravy or soupy consistency and he loves it. I'll continue to keep Luna in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks everyone!

I'll keep you updated. I will get the diet food on Thursday, and hopefully they will also have the results of the bloodwork that day.

Sorry to be so late with this thread. But I am glad all I could contribute is not needed anymore as Luna's kidneys are ok

I am sure Luna eats by now? Good that they got the teeth cleaned- Filou and Tigris get that about every 1,5 to 2 years. Bulding tartar can vary individually- some cats get a lot, some not- just like in humans.
And for sub-q fluids- of course you get them here. Filou gets them every week and this is what makes him tick still with Aby speed 3 years after his renal failure was diagnosed

Thank you!

Yes, Luna started eating her dry food the same night. I think her gums were a bit sore after she got her teeth cleaned, and that's why she first prefered wet food. Now her appetite is back!!

BTW, it's been the first time that she got some tartar removed, and only on the four big molars. The rest of her teeth were okay, so I guess she's one of the lucky ones who don't build tartar so easily...

I hope I'll get the results of the blood work tomorrow, please keep her in your thoughts...
