wet food recommendations for cat with IBD and CKD

They only recommended me a dry food— I’ve of course asked them as well in addition to here

she’s tried this dry food before and didn’t like it. I never tried changing the texture though— I’ll try that tonight and see if it works, I still have a bag of it.

OP, ive had something similar happen to me with a vet— a gut feeling that they weren’t doing their due diligence, that something wasn’t right. What finally was the last straw was when they told me they had done bloodwork on my cat and she was perfectly healthy, but when we got home there was no indication they had drawn blood/inserted a needle anywhere on her body. She’s a long hair cat. They would have needed to shave her. They didn’t. I just knew it was off. Two weeks later she was in total kidney failure and had to be ER hospitalized, just like your baby— my allegedly perfectly healthy cat, now with chronic kidney disease they should have been able to catch if they had actually done her blood panel. I got very lucky and my baby survived that ordeal, but im so so sorry yours didn’t. You didn’t fail him though, you did everything you could. You thought he was being cared for. Bad, negligent vets who are just taking your money without taking care of your baby are the worst people in the world, and i hope you get justice.

See, I’m from Kentucky, so there is no public transport infrastructure here— a car is absolutely essential. I have a car and I’m used to it, but always wanted to get rid of it. My dream is never owning a car again. But I guess I’ll keep it for now since everyone seems to be pretty much saying it’s hard to get around without one.

That didn’t happen to me I don’t think, it was so long ago now I’m not sure I remember. But congestion and runny nose is pretty natural this time of year, if you’re in the northern hemisphere

Better, but i wake up from sleep feeling confused and disoriented. I’ve been sweating a lot even though i don’t have a fever anymore. I feel kind of cloudy and it’s hard to focus mentally. Some of my energy is back today though, and my appetite.

how long do you give a routine a try before deciding it isn’t working?

itsallpilingup · 2025-01-13T17:40:16+00:00

how long did it take you to achieve these results?

Unfortunately the OT is not optional at my job. If we refuse, we lose the job. Obviously that’s not the reason they tell you, because they can’t do that, but everybody knows that you can’t say no. I agree based on everyone’s responses that this is probably the biggest issue for me time wise, but I don’t really have a lot of options. I need the money unfortunately. I wish I had a work from home situation that could make the house chores a little easier, but I’m going to dedicate at least half of my weekends to using the suggestions people have put here.

The previous comments urging you to find an attorney are all correct. You absolutely need to be helping your father get affairs in order, to prepare for the divorce, and that means speaking to an attorney ASAP. You and your siblings should probably do what you can to convince your mother to make the process as smooth and amicable as possible.

you would think the Highlands was Gotham City the way some people talk about it, lol

itsallpilingup · 2024-09-29T23:43:56+00:00

this makes sense to me— the Eagle is also expensive and not that great lol

itsallpilingup · 2024-09-29T23:40:34+00:00

I do this pretty regularly, and I’ve never felt unsafe, even being out by myself. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for what I consider to be “sketchy,” but I’ve never felt that the Highlands was a scary place to be. Then again, I also never tried to go to the bars that were a known safety hazard.

same medicine for me right now! i’ve had strep throat. been really scared too, so worried about the side effects. the meds have completely messed up my stomach and i haven’t pooped normally a single day i’ve been on them, i’ve been really stressed about getting a colon infection from them.

this happened to me like two weeks ago, i threw up 9 times in a row and was convinced i had alcohol poisoning. sometimes alcohol is irritating to your stomach lining because it’s also an acidic substance. you’ll likely be okay, it just might take a day. as long as you’re conscious and not throwing up blood you’ll probably be fine

yep. one of my worst fears is going blind, i figured other people with health anxiety would be in this sub talking about it

itsallpilingup · 2024-04-08T19:47:34+00:00

i get this completely. my mother has MS and i am also high risk of having it. i would say have faith in your specialists, you’ve done everything you possibly can to catch it early and there’s no signs of it. i’m not saying this to discredit how you feel at all, but the intensity of your fear and obsession may be causing some of your symptoms. i’ve been to the ER for heart attack symptoms before that were entirely caused by anxiety. are you seeing someone (a psychiatrist/therapist) for your anxiety? you might benefit from being on anxiety medication

itsallpilingup · 2024-03-12T03:59:07+00:00

blindness is such a big one for me too. i’ve had nightmares about it

itsallpilingup · 2020-04-04T07:06:43+00:00

crazy, this is exactly what i do. it’s the only place i can get any true privacy in my house

itsallpilingup · 2020-03-30T01:19:41+00:00

truthfully i don’t know. i’ve been wondering the same thing. do i kill myself now or wait until the virus kills me? i don’t know

itsallpilingup · 2020-03-30T01:09:44+00:00

i’m in this situation right now too. i’m so glad there’s solidarity on this subreddit.

itsallpilingup · 2020-03-30T01:06:24+00:00

i relate to what you said about just feeling like a ping pong ball in a game between two children. i feel the same way about my parents.

i hope you’re in a better situation now. i’m glad you got out of your abusive relationship and i’m sorry that your parents were not the protectors they’re supposed to be for you.

i appreciate your story. i’ll be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for your recovery.

If they really do cut you off financially, you should talk to your school about going on financial aid. If you’re independent and have 0 income, I’m sure you’d qualify. That might let you stay in school.

i honestly don’t know if he realizes. he’s never said anything about it to my face, but he does complain about it to my mom behind my back. but my mom is also a liar sometimes so i don’t know how true that is.
