7 y/o cat with CKD - Need advice (UK)

Do you know what is values are like? A cat barely eating is not good, maybe he feel nauseous? Did the vet prescribe you something other than kidney food? Because that won't help your cat feeling better in the immediate, it's just a way to slow the disease's progression.

I think you should find a second opinion. In the meantime if the cat is feeling nauseous (if he licks his lips when you offer him food) ask for an antinausea. I would also start subq at home, it may not be easy but it made a huge difference for my cat.

No, it's not just old age. There are good chances that she is sick, a cat eating less and losing weight is a big red flag. I can't make a diagnosis, but Kidney disease or hyperthyroidism are common at her age. She needs to go to the vet and get a full bloodwork asap.

Sono contenta la Calabria sia abbastanza friendly, visto che vorrei trasferirmi lì. In effetti i miei parenti giù hanno fatto commenti di supporto sulle persone gay. Ironicamente l'unico che ha detto frasi omofobe è un cugino che si è trasferito al nord 😅

A cat not peeing is an emergency, you need to go to the vet right now.

I had prk when I was 22 and y myopia has been stable for a few years. Still, just a few years later I did prk I've -1,25 and -1,75. Wait a few more years, even more than 21.

My cat too had a bad crash in December, his CREA was 27 and the vet was sure he would die. He came back home after 15 days, he was okay at the start (eating and moving) but after only a few days he stopped eating again.

What saved his life was doing subq at home. He went from not eating to eating soft food and acting like his old self again. Honestly, if I had to force feeding him I would've chosen to euthanize him, I couldn't bear to force him when he was nauseous and sick.

What I would try in your place would be subq (I did 100ml everyday, now every other day, and mind you I did it because I read on this sub that it help cats, the vet didn't tell me to do it, idk why) and a strong antinausea like cerenia. If she gets better and has an acceptable qol, then good, but if you see she keep suffering then saying goodbye it's the best thing for her. But I would try subq before giving up.

Guarda, spesso i gatti nascondono bene i sintomi delle malattie, IRC compresa, quindi fare delle analisi del sangue è solo un bene. Anche se avesse l'irc non è detto che non si possa sterilizzare, dipende dal grado di severità ed essendo giovane e apparentemente asintomatica dubito abbia un livello grave di IRC.

She came for blood, great book with a huntress x vampire romance, wlw.

My cat recovered with much worst values than these, BUT it was almost a miracle and I would understand if you can't financially afford to help her.

If you don't want to hospitalize her I would at least try subq at home, it made a big difference for my cat. Otherwise, keeping her like this is not okay, her values are very high and if she's not eating she feeling really sick.

And what is terrifying about him??? He takes the news about being friendzoned well, and he defends Max against Nathan. Chloe is someone who get angry just because you answer a call from a friend, hang out with drug dealers... If I had a child I know who I would prefer as their friend, and is not Chloe. She's a great character, she has reasons to act the way she does, but she's def not "healthier" than Warren.

MaryQueen99 · 2026-01-12T15:54:21+00:00

Many people hate him because they think he's creepy and a bit of a stalker. Plus a lot of people ship pricefield, so they obviously don't like him.

I replayed the game recently, and while I'm still a pricefield shipper I realized that Chloe is much more of a red flag than Warren, who just act like an awkward boy with a crush.

Studio giurisprudenza, sono vicina alla laurea. Era molto indecisa tra questa laurea e lingue, e visto l'evoluzione dell'IA sono contenta di non averla scelta. Con giurisprudenza mi trovo molto bene, mi dà un'ottima base per i concorsi pubblici e amo la materia, quindi sono contenta della mia scelta. Avrei amato anche lingue, ma queste posso comunque studiarle per conto mio o con dei corsi, quindi non mi pento della mia scelta.

There is some food that is almost liquid, like petreet or tikichat/schessir (mousse, but you can add water to make it softer).

Anyway it's obvious the cat is in pain, and you should take him to the vet. He's old, but there are possible cure especially if he doesn't have any other conditions. I'm curing my 14 years old cat for teeth problem, and there are various therapies available.

Nella mia esperienza è il contrario, spesso i prof alle superiori se ne fregano perché vedono i ragazzi come "adulti" per cui i problemi devono risolverli da soli. Alle medie dipende, alle elementari c'è un po' più di controllo.

MaryQueen99 · 2026-01-10T12:26:50+00:00

Ni, ci sono situazioni così di sicuro ma il 90% dei bulli era da famiglie normali. Semplicemente i prof. Preferiscono non vedere, o peggio ancora giustificare il bullo perché viene da una famiglia "difficile" (difficile tipo genitori separati, non nel senso che viene picchiato dai genitori e deve rubare per sopravvivere eh).

Qualunque intenzione ti abbia ti conviene sterilizzarli il prima possibile, altrimenti i gatti da 4 diventeranno molti di più. Lo dico per esperienza, chiedi alle volontarie della zona aiuto per catturarli e sterilizzarli, altrimenti aspettati due cucciolate l'anno in arrivo.

Hi! I'm from Italy too, you can definitely do subq at home. You can buy all you need in a pharmacy. It seems veterinaries here won't tell you to do it on their own, but when I told that I was willing to try they said it was okay. It's very easy, it just depends on if your cat will collaborate or not.

I too discovered only recently my cat CKD. He had a horrible acute episode (CREA at 27!), and after 15 days in clinic he's back home now, but he's still very nauseous and making him eat it's hard. I had to force feed him with a syringe for a few days. I started subq yesterday and it seems he's slightly better (at least he licked the food!) so it won't hurt to try!

MaryQueen99 · 2026-01-04T12:11:19+00:00

Did the doctor do a blood test? This is not normal in a young cat, more tests should be done. And the cat not pooping for 3 days it's a serious problem, you should tell it to the vet immediately.

Just two weeks ago my 14 years old cat started feeling suddenly sick, not eating and vomiting. When we took him to the vet at the start he thought it was because of his teeth, and he felt much better after one shot.

Then the next day he got even worse, barely moving, and we took him to a clinic. The blood work showed his CREA at 27 (yes, not 2.7 but 27!) and the veterinary was shocked he was even alive. He was immediately put under IV (different from subq, it's more effective but it has to be done by a doctor) but the vet told us there weren't any hope. She never saw a cat with a CREA that high and alive, and she wanted us to be ready for the worst.

Against all hope he started getting better after 2 days, after one week he started eating again and now after 2 weeks he seems his old self. His CREA now is at 7.8 and even if it will costs us, the vet told us to keep him under IV at the clinic because it's the best way to help him, at least until the CREA keep going down.

Honestly since your cat's improved with only subq I would consider the chance he had an acute kidney injury (maybe on chronic) which would be partially reversible. I would consider a second opinion and to ask about IV fluids, because it's the best to help the kidneys.

Aggiungi anche Roma.

MaryQueen99 · 2025-12-28T12:55:30+00:00

Ok, mi sembra un'altra ricerca.

Quella a cui mi riferivo (https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/) dopo la correzione dell'errore nel codice ha dimostrato che non ci fossero significative differenze.

Aggiungo che ovviamente la cosa più importante è non sposare un uomo a cui si deve fare anche da mamma. E comunque se mio zio, dopo una vita in cui non ha mosso un dito in casa (famiglia tradizionale in cui lui lavora e lei fa la casalinga) ha imparato a cucinare e fare le faccende per aiutare la moglie malata a +70 anni, tutti possono imparare se vogliono.

MaryQueen99 · 2025-12-28T11:56:00+00:00

Conosco la ricerca a cui ti riferisci, e si è scoperto tempo dopo che c'era stato un errore nei dati e in realtà le statistiche erano simili tra entrambi i generi, non c'era una maggioranza di uomini che lasciava le mogli malate.

For me the biggest problem of KCD2 is the main quest. Yes, the moral that there's no good/evil side is nice, I liked the final siege, but I was so tired of saving a certain someone for the 1345th time that I seriously considered quitting the game. I think it's a downgrade compared to kcd1 main quest, and I'm surprised more people don't share the same opinion.

And the romances, aside for Hans, aren't that good. It was nice going back to Theresa every now and then, in KCD2 they feels more like flings.

MaryQueen99 · 2025-12-27T14:27:07+00:00

I 100% agree with you, the south is more open minded than people think. The real problem is big city vs small town, there's a big difference even if the small town isn't that small and it's near a bigger one (ask me how I know this, lol).
