I thought I wouldn't mention this but I changed my mind.
Juuei's kidneys seem to be failing. His creatinine and urea are elevated. I don't know what to feed him because kidney and diabetes diets are sort of contrary. (Low protein vs. high protein, high energy vs. low energy) His vet is puzzled too. We are now waiting for a second opinion but because of vacations it takes a few days.
Oh wow, Miu! I am very glad you shared with us. I know that when I first heard that my first cat, Whiskers kidneys were failing, I was very upset. Please know that my heart goes out to you at this scary time. Sending healing white light that they are able to help your beloved Juuei. Hugs to you.

Poor sweet Juuei, both of you are in my thoughts. Juuei just seems to strike a cord with me. I just feel for him so.

Oh Miu, what can I say {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} for both you and sweet Juuei. Whatever happens, I pray he will be comfortable. If it's any consulation, he knew great love in his life that he will carry with him wherever he may roam. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing this information and please keep us posted.

I know when Bobby's kidneys were infected from the contaminated catfood, he became very dehydrated and needed subq's. When he got the antibiotics and subq's though, he recovered nicely.
Is there any kind of supplement or anything you can give cats to help ward off kidney problems? I'm always worried since Bobby's had a problem before, he may be more susceptible to other problems in the future.
I'm so sorry to read about Juuei's health issues. I am sending positive thoughts your way.

I'm sorry about Juuei too. My Tansey is in the early stages of kidney failure. She couldn't take hypertension meds because of her kidneys. :-(
So we're letting nature take its sad course (tears up) but she still enjoys a good quality of life. Eats like a horse, skinny as a rail, doesn't throw up much (she always throws up, mainly hairballs), and she has kitty arthritis in her sweet little hips. But she still runs, purrs, poops, eats, and drinks.
((MIU)) ((JUUEI)) ((TANSEY)) ((SIOBHAN))
Prayers, White Light and good thoughts out to our kitties and our friends.
Please get better Juuei and Tansey, we love you!!!!!!!!!

Poor Juuie... Miu I'm so so sorry. ((hugs)) As has been stated, please keep us posted.
((Siobhan)) I'm sorry about Tansey.
Kidney failure got my sweet Booble so I know how you guys feel (I think most of us probably have been through this at one time or another).
Many hugs and prayers for you guys and your babies.

Miu, ask your vet about special "senior" formulated diets, lower in protein to help with reduced kidney function. Also, there's a daily tablet, it's called Fortekor over here, Bones has been on it for years and he's still going strong (well, going wobbly really, but he is old!). I hope things aren't too advanced & you can get Juuie some effective treatment. {{hugs}}
