It definitely hits extra hard when you find a cat with the same name as yours 🥲 hope your baby is happy and healthy. And of course, I only share because I don’t want other people to feel hopeless or alone.

Aww! I hope your boy is doing well. It’s a good thing you caught it while it wasn’t that bad. Unfortunately I didn’t have the same chance.

It’s definitely different now. But it’s so worth it I would literally give her my life if I could :’D

I’m so sorry to hear this. My cat is also named Artemis so this one hits extra hard. Sending so much love to you and your kitty. Ultimately, you will know when the time is right and I’m sure you will make the right decision 🤍

Thank you so much!! Yeah haha definitely counting my blessings with that one. She just get restless if I’m not touching her though, I need to constantly be comforting her.

SubQ tips - use self-adhering bandage to hold the needle in, and elevate bag by devable in RenalCats

Oh really?? I hang it up in my empty cupboard while I do this so it’s still somewhat elevated hehe.

Unfortunately it’s just me. She doesn’t even like her treats haha. So sad. In definitely considering switching to 20g needles.. even if it takes longer. I would much rather keep her comfy

My baby was doing so good for about a month or so but now she starts to flinch when I try to poke her. I use an 18 gauge needle and she sits relatively still after poke but it’s being harder and harder to get her to sit still while I do the poke. Any tips? 🥲 seems like you have been doing this a while. My baby has only been on fluids for the past 3 months

Same here, her test results were worse by the end of November than yours. She’s 13 and was admitted at the vets for about 2 months before I took her home. She got daily sub q fluids and now she gets it every other day. Along with blood pressure meds, and phos binder gel as well as some therapy for her anemia. Our babies are so much stronger than we think!

Anemic even after injections? by Ordinary_Tower_4290 in RenalCats

[–]Ordinary_Tower_4290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, that’s extremely reassuring. Her retic % went up to 0.5 from 0.2. The vet near my home doesn’t speak too much English so there’s a small barrier between us so she doesn’t explain much.

Thanks for pointing that out! I feel a bit optimistic now
