Filou doesn't improve :(

[kittykay]

I am sorry to hear of Filou's illness, but be assured that your tender care will give him added time to spend with you. Yes, learn to rehydrate him yourself--that way he won't have to go for rides in the car (icky!). Get a copy of the book "The New Natural Cat" by Anitra Frazier -- an excellent book about care-giving for sick cats. Both people and animals can live good, comfortable lives even if their kidneys are failing. It is not a painful condition (so I am told and believe), and your love and care will continue to make his life blessed, just as he has blessed your life.

I have only just now read the entire thread on Filou's kidney problems. Reading your first post touched an old pain of mine and it brought tears to my eyes. I know what it feels like - as I'm sure many pettalkers do, since kidney problems seem to be a common problem. It's no joke seing your beloved pet fighting and fading for any length of time. And Filou and Tigris were the first cats I really could remember here on PT, since Randi showed me some wonderful pictures of them long before I joined myself.

Nevertheless, the latest news seem very promising, and I really do hope things will work out for the better. I too shall look forward to more news - especially of your experiences with the homoepathic vet.

Best of luck - and lots of love,
Sus and bella

Can we have an uppydate on Filou please? Thanks.

Filou is well. He is having his appointment with the homeopathic vet next Thursday. My vet also thinks homeopathy could work well with a chronic disease like the CRF.

He is obviously in an early stage- being happy, crazy, chasing Tigris and the water in the bath tub.

I enjoy every second with him- and of course I will give yu a major update once we've seen this vet

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

So good to hear he's still doing well.

I am happy that HE is happy. I will be interested in what that homeopathic vet has to offer.

Good news Barbara. I'll be watching for the uppydate.

[Randi]

Barbara, I'm so glad Filou is happy and active, that's a good sign. I can picture him racing around.

Thanks, God!
