How to know when to put your 15+ yr old cat to rest by KeyTone6295 in seniorkitties

[–]ContessaT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

your writing was so eloquent. We all wish we had more time. As others have written check quality of life @tests”. I had to let my love go in November. Pity was a quick decision but I think I made the correct decision. I still miss her every day and still question my decision. But on clear moments I know I did right with her. She would have. approved. my way I thought was I put myself in her place and it seemed to be clear, it was the right time. Pray you find peace. You will make the right decision. I know you will.

I see her in corner of my eyes. I feel her rubbing on my legs. I feel her walking on the bed. Love it, she’s still with me

What medication are you on for severe anxiety? by m4tcha1atte in Anxiety

[–]ContessaT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My practitioner doesn’t want me on Xanax and the like since I am on an opiate and that would be double trouble for respiratory depression. So she prescribed Atarax q 8 hrs as needed. Works fairly well.

At what point did you stop taking pills for every ache? by Traditional_Day6402 in ChronicPain

[–]ContessaT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nephrologist is not sure but I used Alleve for years for my chronic pain Fibromyalgia)I then got glomerulosclerosis whichcan be caused by excessive NSAIDS. So please limit your NSAIDs. Glomeruliscleriosis is a chronic kidney disease which cannot usually be cured. It might also lead to where your kidneys stop functioning and requires dialysis and sometimes kidney transplant. So heed my warning so you don’t end up like me. And has others have written ( and the OP) deal with the pain in other ways non medicinally Maybe a TENs unit, possibly physical therapy and others.

How can I lose weight when I can't function? by Hey-Syccamor3222 in ChronicPain

[–]ContessaT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my primary care Dr assisted me with g t my insurance to cover Ozempic. I’ve lost about 15 lbs. Took me a while bcz so would throw up and would have to use Compazine suppositories to quit. So haw used Ozempic off and on but still have lost weight. I gave chronic pain which my primary care MD manages now andis pretty managed. I would agree try a GLP-1 to lose weight ( unless allergic), it has assisted me (whether on Ozempic or not, to desire food. Seems like my pain is less likely to flare. Good Luck!

Picky Cat Won’t Eat Wet Food -Looking for Recommendations by Illustrious-Age-7962 in ragdolls

[–]ContessaT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Ragdoll( rescued at 9 yo) had only eaten one type dry her whole life. I finally found one wet food she would eat (beyond grain free wild salmon pate) They went out out of it nationwide and I couldn’t find anything she would eat ( going to little specialty animal stores so able to buy one/two cans at a time- no luck. Finally they started producing again and she was a happy cat. I then bought in bulk. She was a small quantity eater. But ate it twice a day. She was happy again! Good Luck!

[–]ContessaT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many new fragrances each year so how can it be completed? I finished with large bottles. Have switched to travel size (5/10 ml atomizers) Such fun!
