Re: Acute Kidney Failure

Aww poor Barney:( Today Jimmy slept a little but I can tell he is not feeling himself. Its just so heart breaking feeling so helpless.

Re: Acute Kidney Failure

Hi Joanne....my Barney suffers with constipation quite a lot, extremely bad, to the point he cries in pain, ....if you can get some warm water into his food, maybe with a little olive oil for tonight that will help......'Miralax' can be ordered through the internet which really helps Barney, though...

Re: Acute Kidney Failure

Jimmy seems a bit constipated. Any idea on how to help this? Going to take him to the vet on Monday as I think the hacking thing he does is because his mouth could be sore.

Re: Acute Kidney Failure

The hacking thing is confusing me:\ I have been trying to give him hi food without dreamies and he was okay then I gave him a few (I even crushed them up) and he hacked. So weird.

Then again tonight I gave his food and added a few on top as this usually gets him to eat an...

Re: Acute Kidney Failure

I agree with what everyone is saying about the stem cells. Plus I would never trust anything online that a vet did not suggest. A lot of meds etc that you can just buy are not even the real deal.

Really glad though that your cat is much better:)

Vaccine side effects?

My cat Ted was given a vaccine 3 weeks ago think it was for flu and other things. Then today he went back for a booster. The first time around he was totally fine. Today he is so quiet, sleeping a lot and refused his favourite biscuits which NEVER happens he is totally food obsessed. Should I worry?...

Re: Acute Kidney Failure

Jimmy still spends a lot of time upstairs away from everyone however he spends a lot less time asleep, comes down to see us a lot more and till keeps adventuring out. His eating is okay, could be better but he has never really been a big eater.
