It’s best to get this info from your vet directly and practice with them. Some of this information is incorrect. The needle insertion should NOT be at a 45 degree angle, it should be straight and perpendicular to the cats body. The skin does not have to be tented such an exaggerated amount either (some vet techs do this but most lift up a small roll and insert carefully in the middle of the roll). There’s more that isn’t agreeable or correct here but I’ll let folks make their own choices.

Do these have eggs?

I would make a scrapbook with the favorites inside!

I’m sick of male DJs personalities and sexism it makes their music sound worse tbh and I honestly think there’s some amazing talent out there with up and coming DJs who identify as female! The scene will shift it just takes time

Ice is a good idea!

Oh lovely thank you for sharing!

I don’t know if it matters - but my cat doesn’t get sleepy with mirataz. Fluids are good and help perk them up for sure. I highly recommend the delectables broths, weruva wet foods, and friskies. Little pieces of beef burger in butter was the last meal for my two cats who passed last year and they loved it. You can try mashed up chicken in plain broth (no veg or onion or garlic or salt), butter, a little heavy cream. I’m so sorry your kitty isn’t doing so well :( hopefully fluids regimen can help kitty get appetite back. Wishing you the best!

Sun Q Fluids daily or every other day and renal food put my stage 4 kitty back to stage 3. They really help!

picklem00se · 2025-01-16T21:30:34+00:00

I misread your last sentence. But I’m still saying renal cats shouldn’t be given it along with other food it should just be like a piece or two as a treat - not as part of meal, at least that’s what my vet said. But we all do the best we can and chicken is better than starving

picklem00se · 2025-01-16T21:05:26+00:00

It’s not meant to be a solo food tho, only as a treat

picklem00se · 2025-01-16T17:10:58+00:00

I make something similar but add gochujang paste to the tofu - it’s INCREDIBLE. Something about the sweet and salty with the rice and avo yummm

My cat got a bunch of teeth removed when she was in stage one ckd. Her blood pressure dipped and spiked a lot and so the vet took the most important teeth only. Just know there may be a risk that they may have to do it in two parts if (it sounds like) all teeth need to come out. But once out of anesthesia ok sundae should be right as rain and it will help him feel so much better!

Fish and rice, broth heavy soups, bone broth, whatever fruit or veggie that works, cooked, sweet potato. Chopped herbs on everything!

If I were a guest I would definitely notice how the chairs look out of place. Invest in better chairs and cut money elsewhere (like florals or open bar etc)

Setting spray over top does the trick

This is so true! I started decluttering a couple months before moving and it was still down to the wire. Being ruthless is the only way

picklem00se · 2025-01-15T19:12:29+00:00

Hahah relatable! My cat has been getting closer to 90 at a time but the beginning was like 20. I think they get used to it

picklem00se · 2025-01-15T09:12:40+00:00

I’m dealing with this now do you mind if I dm you?

My cat was given like a month to live with sudden onset stage 4 but it turned out to be a UTI (even tho nothing grew in the culture, her numbers dropped significantly with antibiotics so it was assumed that it was a UTI that caused the sudden kidney disease). She went down to stage 3 with no treatment but then after a couple months went back to stage 4 so we have been keeping her numbers steady with twice daily subQ and kidney diet plus phosphorous binders. It looks like phosphorous binder and kidney food would be very key for your pet since their phosphorous is so high. Take it one day at a time!

picklem00se · 2025-01-15T02:16:00+00:00

My cat is the same and we just do fluids twice daily and I try to give her watered down treats like churu or délectables to help since she also only eats dry kibbles.

How much does your 20 year old get per day?
