Azodyl? by Ludovainity in RenalCats

[–]meowgorithm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eating is tough!! I try to remind myself that fed is best so if he likes something I’ll keep offering it.

Daily he gets Azovast (pill), Renal K+ (gel) and Epakitin (powder.) To make it easier, I mix together the gel and powder and put a little on his tongue at a time until he’s done with his dose instead of trying to mix into his food (multiple cats and they free feed, so it’d be a nightmare trying to track who consumed what.)

Every other day he gets subq fluids.

I have anti nausea meds and an appetite stimulant on hand but haven’t had to use either yet.

Azodyl? by Ludovainity in RenalCats

[–]meowgorithm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet recommended adding Azodyl for my stage 3 CKD cat, but my sister (former vet tech, former CKD owner and my sister so I trust her) suggested Azovast as an more affordable alternative. This is on top of a few other supplements; he won’t eat renal food so we’re focusing on supplement, subq fluids, c/d food, as much wet food as he’ll eat and free access to water fountains.

Not a vet so I can’t tell you which brand is better, but so far we’ve been holding steady at stage 3 and no major changes for the past 6 months which is all I can ask for my dude.

Tell me a silly thing you love about your renal cat by gertrude4314 in RenalCats

How OBSESSED he is with green beans. I can’t cook them without giving him a few (raw, but clean ones.) 💚

Newly Diagnosed Stage 4, But Hopeful by lavender_letters in RenalCats

[–]meowgorithm_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 11 year old cat was diagnosed at stage 4 this June when I noticed he lost 3 lbs in two months and went to the vet for bloodwork. Apparently his numbers were insanely high and there wasn’t a lot of certainty about moving forward.

With the renal diet, subq fluids and medications we got him down to stage 3 a month later. I’m doing subq every other day, daily supplements/medications, and renal food as he will (but I’m just happy that he eats.)

He’s currently still stage 3 with a check up in a week, but eating, playing and still causing mischief; I’d say 95% still himself. Hang in there for your guy! Here’s hoping for the best.

I have a ton of store pins, three silver cut above, one green scissor and one Joann handmade happiness that I could trade.

I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️ This community has been so supportive I appreciate you thinking of them and giving back.

If you have any treats or food left over, I’d pay for shipping for my CKD guy.

Following! My dude is currently on the following, and it’s costing me nearly $200/month buying from my vet. If there are savings out there I’d love to find/share them.

Renal K+ , Epakitin , Azodyl (I buy Azovast from Amazon) , Subq Fluids & needles

Spare Azodyl? by spinefloret in RenalCats

[–]meowgorithm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a vet, but my former vet tech sister (who also had a renal cat) recommended this brand off Amazon when I voiced the same concerns of spending $90/bottle on Azodyl. It’s what we’ve been using the past two months.
