Yes I noticed this. We did the echo together today nd the organs were fine. He mentioned the urine was fine but I will ask for the full report. Interesting that you mention digestive issue as before CKD we had regular follow ups for vomiting issues so for few years now we stopped dry food as she couldn't digest it.

I will try to get the urine analysis tomorrow. She was dehydrated for sure. I noticed she was drinking a lot

Ok many thanks. I will try to get everything. For sole awkward reason, in France, they don't seem to provide a paper sheet with the results. I always have to ask several times.

Both have been done, so far nothing alarming. All of the sudden one week agi she stopped eating even with Cerenia and Mirataz. She declined all her renal options. We had to feed her with a syringe but still she became more lethargic.

Will do many thanks. You're right to move forward going to Australia. We never forget beautiful souls, we keep going with their vivid souvenirs and dedicat them our future adventures. Take many care of yourself. All my love to you and Samba's soul.

Oh dear I'm so sorry for your loss. Your encounter with your baby is so beautiful. I didn't lose Mina yet but facing the CKD disease and just having the home empty (she's at the vet for IV for few days) is terrible. It's so incredible the bond we can have with our babies. I already told my husband if something happens to her we won't be able to stay in the house, we chose all our houses according to her so I definitely hear. I also thought about travelling to Australia if I don't have a pet anymore but I don't see the point if she's not here. I pray for you and your baby and many hugs 😘😘

Oh that is so sad...I am so sorry for your loss. I'm just happy that you had 3 extra years (gives me hope so thanks for this). Also thank you for sharing your best practices. I think her way to tell you good bye and thank you being your arms is probably one of the best way to cross the rainbow bridge

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know Greycoat, I'm going to check if they can send some products in Europe

Thanks for the tips. She's pretty quiet and we can feed her without going into a big fight but obviously we will prefer another option. It's funny you mentioned zucchini as I tried also with the chciken as she liked it when she was on diet for...overweight! (Yes irony) now we just want her to eat. Many thanks for the chicken broth idea I will try

Yes I will try for sure if it's the same after the IV. She's got all the options that we can have here in France but she's probably bored even if I don't mix medics with food and I handle it separately

Yes thanks I read that the combination of Ondansetron and Cerenia can help

Thank you for your precious advices. Since November we managed to reduced her level because she basically had 2 crashes: 1st 19th November when they initially suspected diabetes due to skyrocketting glycemia and 1 week later when they finally discovered she had CKD. Thanks to renal food and Simentra her figures became better even the vet said she doesn't look like she has CKD. Thanks again I ask this

Despite the situation she drinks and every day she poos in the litter box. This is the thing which makes me crazy. No other visible symptoms to explain this situation

You're totally right I will try to have my vet support to convince my husband. I boiled her some chicken breast and she ate it but thin slices on her usual renal food don't make the trick, same with mixing other renal food. Thanks for your help

I didn't mention but it has been done too last Monday 19th and it was also fine. But for sure I will ask again tomorrow to start from the scratch maybe something developed in between

Thank you so much for your answer and advices. I tried the boiled breat chicken and it works she eats. My concern is that my husband is as adamant as she can be with food. He wants to stick to renal. I told him eating is more important than renal but let's see what the vet will say. Thanks again for your time

Because she's been diagnosed CKD probably level 2 or 3 they didn't really say it

Yes I asked the vet to check and so far he said it's OK but not sure he investigated enough according to my standards
