Increased thirst

Hello again. Susan has been good for the last few days. The vet said that taking the multiple tablets for inflamed intestine and the hyperthyroid tablets was making her avoid the tablets and food. Since being back on just the hyperthyroid tablets it was all ok. However her thirst has got really over...

Re: Lethargic + lost appetite, advice needed please

I'm so sorry to read about your poor cat. I can't really give you any advice only to say this forum does help with sharing our stories. I came across your post as I need to give my kitty Mirtazapine again. She has CKD, hyperthyroidism and recently a mild dose of pancreatitis. I'm supposed to be givi...

Since then I have got some of it down her but it's very hit and miss. Today she has had 1 hyperthyroid tablet, she should take 3 today and 2 tomorrow but none of h...

Re: Missed medication

Thank you. I have managed to get her an appointment for tomorrow. She has eaten a bit today so I'm hoping that she may take her meds later, but I'm worried that she is now associating the treats with her pills :( You are right it is a balancing act with regards to her overall well-being. She has bee...

Re: Inflamed intestine and mild pancreatitis

Susan still only eating a small amount of wet food. I am giving her the shredded chicken soupy type. She is not tolerant of the gastro or renal wet food at all. Waiting for gastrointestinal/ sensitive biscuits to arrive, as she seems to prefer the dry food. At least we've had no vomiting for about 2...

Kidney disease and diarrhoea

Susan has now returned to taking her meds for hyperthyroidism and eats better. Her poop has been a bit runny for a while and today is quite runny. I have been using Fortiflora on her wet food morning and evening but she doesn't eat a lot of it. I will persevere with it and put on her dry food later....
