My beautiful Cleo, 3 monthly checkup

[Barbara]

Ok, so Cleo should eat? What kidney food does she have?
Filou did not want to touch the Hill's k/d but he loves his Royal Canin Renal. It exists wet in pouches AND dry - and Filou and Tigris (who is not ill) love these kibbles so much I can use them for treats as well. So I certainly would try all the diet foods I could find.

You may also use rice to dilute the protein in normal food.

I think if she is really feeling bad then more subQs would be the way to go. Look at Puddy or others- sometimes a week with 3 subQ sessions will make sure she does better and then you may go back to weekly.

The best website for sure is
http://www.felinecrf.com/

You can see there also that the levels do not say everything about how a cat feels or how it all will develop.

Filou sends headbumpies to Cleo and says he wants to stay longer with his humans too and she shouldn't give up.

Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I hope that you and Cleo will be able to have many many more happy days ahead of you.

Thank you everyone.
Cleo ate very well tonight,she seems to like the sweetness of mashed pumpkin and creamed sweetcorn,diluting the protein.I got a gourmet tin of various fish/chicken flakes for her to try with it which she liked and came back for seconds. I was cooking brown rice for myself so I did some for her, I'll mash it down in chicken broth when I get some chicken to make it with on Monday. she hasn't shown great partiality to rice so we'll see how she goes. I am going to talk to the homoeopathic vet clinic which is more local than the specialist cat hospital, about some fluids.
I'll post again next week and let you know how it all goes.

Good to hear Cleo eats. Filou is definitely not fond of anything I could use to dilute the protein so I'm very glad he loves his Royal Canin.

Thanks, Jen.
Cleo ate well again this morning.

Barbara, have you tried custard? My vet said custard, mashed pumpkin, creamed sweetcorn. What about wholemeal pasta? Does not have to be wheat, there are corn and rice pastas available (I have to have them myself) It has a nice chewy consistency. Just a thought.
