Sorry I haven't responded. Hubby and I got sick over the weekend. Kitty is still doing good on every other day Mirataz. Yes, she drinks more and pees more. She seems to be fine otherwise, eating well, playing, and being her usual demanding and talkative self. 🙂 Thank you for looking into this...
Gonna try another dry kidney food in the next few days since she's eating well. BTW, she saturates her litterbox with pee. Is this normal for a cat with CKD? I try to bail out the saturated litter to keep it clean and dry.
Tried weaning her off of the Mirataz for a day and her appetite was still good, so I'm gonna try it every other day for a while and then try reducing it again if all goes well. Will keep her on some appetite stimulant, but want to cut back. Vet said try giving it to her every other day. She did...
The vet recommended, so I want to stick with what she says, but I'll just test it. Chances are, Jade won't eat it anyway, lol, but I'll try it. They were out of some of the foods, but will have a shipment Tuesday. I'll go get some then.
Her numbers are good. Creatine little high but not bad. Trying to start cutting back on the appetite stimulant. Gonna try another kidney food next week.
Vet wants to a recheck so I scheduled Wed, first day they are opened after Christmas. I don't like taking her to vet, though I know she needs another blood test because it stresses her out and they have to sedate her.
Update on Jade: She's started eating her regular food more and getting more of an appetite, which is good, and we're getting her meds in her via the tuna most days. I do wash the mirataz off her ears every couple of days to increase the effects. We're trying to cut back to the tuna just being a...
I'm glad kitty is eating. DO NOT have them give your cat the antibiotic shot Convenia then, because if she gets that, there is nothing you can do for several weeks to get it out of her system and she might starve herself. I'm not saying all cats react this way to Convenia, but my cat almost...
My kitty didn't end up take the antibiotic, but I hope you're able to get your cat to eat. Try anything that will get her to eat if she's not eating, even if it's tuna, baby food with no additives, etc. Try every food you can to tempt her to eat, anything that won't hurt her. My kitty is eating...
Kitty has been eating less and less last couple of days. We have been trying everything. I’m so drained trying to get her to eat. Only eating a little bit a day.
Thank you. She is taking Enalapril 2X a day, at least what we can get in her, which is most of it I think. I thought Mirataz and Mirtazapine are the same thing? She's taking Mirataz in the purple box from a tube. She gets it on her ear once a day. She isn't taking any other meds. I mentioned the...
This cat will only eat tuna in the last couple of days and won't eat her dry food. I don't want her to get too much protein. Vet wants her to stay on stimulant for time being.
