There are support groups on Yahoo for those caring for CRF cats. Just google
it. You can do the Sub Q fluids yourself. It is not difficult. He is
probably not eating due to nausea. You should discuss this with your vet.
Not eating or drinking is a very serious problem and must be resolved
quickly.

Hi,
My cat Nemo was just diagnosed with CRF. His numbers were all completly
normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about
normal.
I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem
to
want to eat and he isn't drinking much water. Otherwise he acts fine. I am
bringing him in every week for sub-q's to try and lower the BUN.
Are there other cats that have such a low number? How did you get your
cats
to eat? And Drink? A couple years ago I had another CRF cat, but he went
downhill very fast and was gone within a week. So I didn't get a lot of
experience in how to deal with this.
Any help you can give me would be great.
Thank you
