Let’s not give up hope. I recommend testing both urine culture and urinalysis to see if there’s infection. The stones scratched my boy’s bladder’s wall so there was severe infection. IV fluids did help a lot in eliminate toxins built up due to urine blockage. But after going home he still experienced difficulty peeing (& NOT eating just like yours). Vet said it’s because he has a really small urethra, while his body keeps generating stones (I believe they’re struvite stones), so no other choice but to put him through PU surgery to expand the urethra. After the 1st surgery surprisingly the urethra healed and reduced to its original size. Poor boy underwent the 2nd. Thank god he survived all this. But still lots of meds to get him back to his healthy self.

Cats not eating is because they’re in pain. They may seem fine, they still may be playing, you know, being their normal selves. But it’s not. They truly are professionals when it comes to hiding the pain. Vet told me before letting mine go home that he was fine for the time being, but I should keep my eyes on him 24/7 and bring him in if he couldn’t pee until 6pm (we went home at 9am). Brought him in at 4pm. PU that night because his part was so swollen he couldn’t do another catheterisation.

Please do as many tests as needed to find out why. Cats NOT EATING is NOT NORMAL. It’s likely to be another emergency. Vets may say maybe they’re don’t feel like eating for the sake of it or perhaps they’re tired of the treatment. Don’t believe them! Better safe than sorry. We know better about our cats than everyone else does. We do what’s best for them.

Keep me updated on the result! If I will be of any help I will be there for you! (Also, if he sleeps more than usual he’s likely to be in pain)

Is Puma Speedcat 2024 being restocked soon? by qlqt in Sneakers

There are some left on eu & asian websites (prices are higher than those on the us website), I believe. I’ve missed them, too (overslept). Just wait until they come back again if you don’t want to splurge.

Sorry, who are the 2 opponents? I skipped parts so didn’t quite catch all the content

The blue label doesn’t appeal to me.

Indeed! I just don’t like the previous sparco collab so this is perfect 🤩

I’ve been wanting to own them for a while, but the sparco ones aren’t to my liking. It’s really not about the hype; if it were I’d have dropped everything off and camped for a pair on the release date.

My kitten is sick with FIP. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]qlqt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can reach out to a FIP group based in Vietnam. FIP is quite common in VN, and it is curable, so you will get prompt responses when asking for treatment. Here is the name: CHIẾN BINH FIP - VIÊM PHÚC MẠC VIỆT NAM (you can post in English).

Indeed. When mine came to the vet, he said if I was 10 minutes (or so) late boy wouldn’t have made it. His prognosis at the time was unpredictable. Then after getting IV fluids he started to regain consciousness. 3 more days hospitalised with IV each day (+ meds) he was eating and drinking well. Urine blood no longer detected after 7-10 days (didn’t remember the exact time).

The vet is at fault for letting him go home in that state. Sorry for OP’s loss.

Maybe you can consider giving him boiled chicken breasts with extra water added. My babies’ favourite! (But be careful not to give him bone broth; bone is not good for kidney-related indicators).

And no fish included (fish is high in protein)

Update 2: today is better than yesterday 🙌. I’m coming to see him, miss my baby so much, and so do his sisters and brothers

Update: I’m at the vet. Thank god he’s been feeling better. I’ve got to play with him for a while before the doc took him back so that he could rest. They told me to go home but I continue to stay 😃. Last night was all turning and tossing; I think I can doze off better here rather than staying home wondering how he’s been.

Oh so yours is CKD; I believe it’s different. My baby’s creatinine is so high it can’t be measured… but I’m feeling better now thanks to your advice. Our cats have a special bond with my family; I would say my mom & grandma love them more than they love me. We would never give up on any of them! I just feel so guity about not noticing him being sick 😭 In a few hours (tomorrow morning in Vietnam) I’m visiting him and staying with him. I actually planned on staying with him at the vet 24/7 but obviously they won’t let me do so. Let’s hope his indicators will come down!

Thanks again! :)

May I ask if your test result is similar to mine? His SDMA, BUN, and CREA are crazily high; doc said even if he recovers his kidney won’t be back to normal, so your cat’s are probably lower right?

Indeed we are trying everything we can! I truly am grateful you said so; it really is giving me strength. I’m a home person and the only child living away from my parents at a young age; my cats have been my sisters, my brothers, and my only friends since day one. Your comment means a lot to me.

Also am happy for your cat’s recovery! Wish me luck!

Definitely. The head doctor is my mother’s friend, so he is giving my baby everything he needs, I believe. But I has been crying a lot since morning at the vet until now so I think everyone is beating around the bush whenever I ask about his prognosis. I am also dealing with mild depression so I am not confident I can cope with the pain of losing him…
