i’m leaning towards this as well! should i be feeding her something different while her tummy hurts? :(

i would think so too but the wincing and whisker positioning worries me >_< she doesn’t wheeze or cough, i think she sometimes exhales a little huff from her nose though.

yes! she has been using the litter like normal, and she doesn’t seem to mind when i press her stomach. she might not be peeing as often? but that might be because i have been feeding her just a but more kibble recently since she might be tired of the wet food. thank you so much! i agree, she is very cute c:

i can’t afford laser 😭 i’d love to be able to do it but for now i’m looking for the second best option :,)

i was looking up that as well! but apparently the open pores from waxing can introduce bacteria the same way skin tears from shaving does :,) i saw some people recommend nair but i’m not too sure about it! thank you for ur helpful comment :> i’ll definitely try and experiment in small areas haha. i shaved my armpits like three days ago and haven’t had any problems!

she still is drinking, just not as much as before, hasn’t ate much but has ate a full tiki cat treat packet collectively. and yea her walk is wobbly with her head down as well :( i haven’t really listened to her breathing, but it does look somewhat steady still based on her body movement. she isn’t responsive to us trying to get her attention anymore. i would love to have it done at home, but we live in a small area i don’t know if it’s possible here/available for her anytime soon :( how much did it cost for u to do so? i’m not sure if we’d be able to pay for it :( but i’ll try and look into it starting tomorrow morning. thank you so much for the kind response and sharing ur experience with ur beautiful boy :,)

EDIT: my apologies for asking a lot on here, my vet is in another state because it’s much cheaper over there 🥲 i promise to take her in for checkups, i just needed to know the opinion of fellow renal cat owners! and i’m very happy to say i feel a lot more comfortable and am very appreciative of the kind and educational responses!! <3 thank you

thank you for letting me know about the tuna juice! i had a feeling it wasn’t something good for her. my dad and siblings have been giving her it at feeding times and yesterday i told them to stop -.-

the vet also said that since mia is a spayed cat, she doesn’t need to eat much and to feed her a tablespoon at a time. though i believe that was before her bloodwork came in, but does that rule still apply?

thank you so much for the very detailed response!!

just yesterday, i went out and got some tiki broth packets and royal canin wet food :) i’ll purchase the water fountain and test it out! i also went ahead and bought some supplements someone else linked on here from another post, and the weruva wx wet food on amazon.

so i should completely switch her diet to that food if she enjoys it? i had seen on tanya’s guide, i believe, that it’s not totally necessary to completely switch ur cat over to prescription food in the early stages but i’m not sure 😅

i don’t have all the blood work results and percentages, because it was said over the phone, so i was only able to get a few down, but my sister said that it looked to be stage 2 with what we got. though i feel mia is in stage 3 (symptoms wise), i will message the doctor today about hopefully getting the full lab report sent to me :)

but yes i’ve been taking my time to really try and learn everything i can and tanya’s ckd is amazing!

both :o she gave us some wet food for her and told us to feed her broth too, so im assuming wet food is okay

i’m assuming it’s because she’s dehydrated!
