I wanted to update people on Boos. She ha been diagnosed with asthma another illness to add to her hyperthyroidism and heart disease. She is doing OK at the moment because we are giving her an asthma inhaler. Sheis purring a lot and following me for cuddles more than usual, which of course, she is getting.

I totally agree, after what has happened, that the dried is not ideal but the vets push it and tell you it's the best. It's so expensive too and I think the vet makes must make commission selling it. I think I must change the diets of all the cats now and try to get them fresh food, chicken, beef etc and mix this with seasonal vegetables. They are so picky with food and know what they like so I will try to wean them off gradually supplementing various meals with fresh or raw food......

Vet cannot understand why Bruno looks so well when all the tests show how seriously ill with renal failure he is. It's a nightmare. I have seen him twice today and tonight I had to catch him when he leaped off the table in the treatment room. What a shock that was as I was stroking him at the time and just caught him. I'm baffled & so is vet. Any ideas what I can do next. I must save him.............x

I think too that dry food is not perfect for our kitties, especialy when then don't like to drink! Hourdou used to ask for both type of food, first the wet, and after some dry food for her dessert! She is a big "drinker" so I don't think there is a problem. But Shami never wanted to drink, I think it was very bAd for her, even if she used to eat mostly wet food... MY POINT OF VIEW : DON'T GIVE TO MUCH DRY FOOD TO YOUR KITTIES!

Hello everyone. Bruno looks great today, bright eyed & happy. However his blood toxic levels are through the roof and the vet says there is nothing more he can do for him but does not want to put him to sleep as he would normally with such a sick animal so he is sending him home. I am now looking at other ways of saving him....if it's possible...I love him so much.......I am devastated.........

I have heard mixed things from different veterinarians. Some sat wet food is best others say dry food. I give Marilyn both types and Whiskers gets both too. They are 8 and 9 and have been doing pretty good off both. I have heard what Lazy Susan said though from vets, about how dry food is stripped of moisture so it's not the best. It's worth have a look into it and researching. How is sweet Bruno today?

I am so very grateful to you akk for your wonderful support for me and my precious little boy. I'ts very interesting that Bruno prefers dried cat food. Lewis also eats this and I feel it is going to be better now to wean them both off it and use wet or freshly prepared food. I wonder now if the dried food has contributed to his currwnt state of health. Has anyone else found that this is the case? xx

o sorry to hear about your kitty! I recently found out that canned catfood prevents many kidney diseases. Dry catfood is very bad for cats, they need the moisture! Give your kitty canned cat food, it might help to save him/ Good luck, I will pray for him

Oh! Greta! I am so sorry to hear about Bruno's desease! I can't believe it! I hope the vet will do his best to improve his health and find the appropriate medication. Kidneys are often a problem with kities, but Bruno is so young! I hope his youth will help him for recovering. Many hugs to you and little Bruno.

Thanks to everyone, my dear lovely friends. Tonight I have been researching feline renal failure to see what I can do for him. There is so much more help for cats suffering this condition available in America than in UK where we live. There is not even a place for dialyisis here that I can see even though they are trying to raise funds to get one. It's such a shame. If only I can do something......
