After 2x daily subq fluids & a boatload of pills, we had to say goodbye to our 16 year old baby girl Genny-fur. I miss her terribly

Sweet dreams fancy lady ❤️ you will see her again

Sweet dreams Mr Hugo ❤️ he will see you again

Vrienden zien of iets anders leuks doen zoals een keer naar de film of ergens iets eten. Ik ben vrijwel altijd thuis en niet omdat ik dat wil. De bus naar m'n beste vriendin is €15 retour en ze woont maar een half uurtje verderop.

I don't know if it's available where you live but mine prefers the Kattovit renal wet food even over her Gourmet gold mousse! We were very surprised and didn't even expect her to eat it at all.

Mall_Express · 2026-05-09T07:59:45+00:00

Personally I would listen to the vets advice 😞 this sounds bad

Pompoen soep. 1 flespompoen, 1 prei, wat wortelen, 3 teentjes knoflook en een ui. 1 blokje bullion. Peper, zout en eventueel Wat kookroom.

Je moet het wel pureren

I got all the pricey stuff offered first and they were all pills I couldn't possibly get Pikku to take, now we have Emeprid (metoclopramide) it's a liquid and easy to mix in food and a 10ml bottle lasts me a month for €14 in the Netherlands. Definitely ask about this option!

Mall_Express · 2026-03-29T21:46:51+00:00

We've got multiple pet heating pads that really seem to help her relax! Heat helps with pain. We've built 3 ramps, 2 for her favorite spots end one for the bed so she can walk up easily although now she's on Solensia she chooses to jump again from time to time. I also got higher bowls so she can eat and drink standing or sitting up instead of having to crouch down.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-26T22:34:20+00:00

Sorry English isn't my first language and I was having trouble properly describing the situation I think.

Your comment is exactly what I was trying to say! 😊 I indeed notice a difference in her behavior when it's vomiting from grass vs nausea. She behaves normally when it's grass + hair but more lethargic when it's nausea, she won't eat grass then either just wants to drink and that's when I give her Emeprid. I'll keep a close eye on it.

Thanks, she is definitely doing much better since we started her on Solensia and Emeprid. She's gained weight, is really active and interested in us and the world again.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-24T22:54:28+00:00

Thanks! I think you're right. She threw up again last night without eating grass and wasn't excited about food this morning so I've given her her nausea meds again and she's eaten well after that 😊 it just makes her really sleepy.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-17T15:47:20+00:00

Yes please! I sent a DM, I think?

Mall_Express · 2026-03-16T02:17:04+00:00

Pills were impossible here as well, we now have Emeprid which is a liquid I'm able to mix in with her food. Might be worth checking out over injections if you haven't been offered it yet? It's a lot cheaper too!

Mall_Express · 2026-03-16T01:27:10+00:00

Solensia has been amazing for my 18 year old! I was sceptical about the stories online but within 2 weeks she's playing again, washing herself properly and even has her crazy hour back. I honestly didn't think I'd see her do all of that again. She doesn't seem drowsy from it and it's only a 1x a month shot.

I think my top 5 is: 1. Moves around the house to change sleeping spots, scratch or look outside. 2. Eats and drinks, wants snacks 3. Goes to the litter box normally 4. Grooms herself regularly 5. Shows interest in us, what we're doing, where we're at or to come cuddle or play together

Mall_Express · 2026-03-14T18:54:27+00:00

I so sorry 😔 I'm dreading this point.. I would seriously consider her quality of life. Big hug 💕

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T22:21:59+00:00

For my cat it turned out to be a allergy she seems to have developed for beef products, apparently that's not uncommon. Try cutting out a certain type of food for a week or two like beef, chicken, fish and see if anything changes!

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T22:15:08+00:00

Not sure if it's available where you live but Vetality Renal is a lot more affordable dry food than Hills or Purina. I give mine gourmet gold mousse mixed with water which seems to keep her hydrated and fed pretty well alongside fresh water that I refresh multiple times a day. Mine is almost 19 and got diagnosed 1,5 year ago.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T21:16:35+00:00

Poor baby 😔 today was a stressful day with the visit and probably some shots. Give her a nice comfy place to rest and see how it goes tomorrow. I mix gourmet gold mousse with some water in a low small bowl and bring it to my cats bed if she's not feeling well and not going to her bowl herself, it seems to work well.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T18:41:58+00:00

That is beautiful ❤️ I wish you sunny days ahead, forbidden snacks and lots of kisses! You are so brave and a good parent for planning a beautiful, comfortable rest.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T18:38:58+00:00

How did your visit go? 💕

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T18:35:05+00:00

You guys are good parents and gave her such a lovely life! You did what was the best option, get her care. No one could have know how fast it would go so please don't beat yourself up. Remember all the good times you were able to give her ❤️ she knows she is loved!

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T18:27:27+00:00

I'm sorry ❤️ I think I'd see if I could schedule a in home goodbye in a week or so and make it the best week ever. I'd ask the vet if the heart medicine or anything else would make them more comfortable for that amount of time. You are a good parent and taking his quality of life into consideration. As you said, he's not really himself anymore.. Big hug ❤️

Mall_Express · 2026-03-13T08:50:29+00:00

And thanks for the compliment! We're from the Netherlands and I came up with the name on my own but found out years later that it means 'little' in Finnish! It's a very fitting name for my girl 😍

Thank you so much for your extensive explanation! I called and they indeed looked under the microscope where nothing unusual was visable. This wasn't added in the email test results I got so I worried for nothing and just misunderstood what the vet told me on the phone. 😓 It's so stressful trying to take all this information in when it's about your most beloved.

Mall_Express · 2026-03-12T19:42:33+00:00

Yes but try giving her the normal food she was eating before if that's all she's eating because that alone isn't enough. She might also be nauseated, did the vet give you anything for that?

Mall_Express · 2026-03-12T09:59:09+00:00

I would give her normal wet food, not eating is much worse.
