Yippee!! Hooray!!!

Last year, Speckles was diagnosed with kidney problems, with only a
quarter of kidney function left. She was given K/D which she refused
with all stubborness to touch. A cat will eat anything rather than
starve? Not Speckles!! Not K/D, not *any* brand of senior-citizen
diet. I gave in and let her have her beloved Fancy Feast, feeling as
though I were murdering her.

She did not require Sub-Q's yet but for the past week she has been
vomiting on a daily basis. We seemed to be spending half our time
cleaning up barf. I expected we'd lose her this year and this seemed
to be the start of the downhill slide. So off to the vet yesterday
for checkup and tests, with a great deal of trepidation.
Hallelujah!!! Tests showed her kidney function in the *normal*
range!! I did a happy-dance right there in the vet's room!

How come the turnaround on a Fancy Feast diet? Oh, well, mine not to
wonder why!!

Jeanne

Well, yea Speckles! Did the vet have any explanation? I'm so happy for
you both. )

Awesome news about the kidneys! Did you figure out why she was throwing up,
though?

Every time I hear about a cat beating RF, I don't know whether to do a
happy dance or cry. I wish I still had my Mimi.

Could Speckles be misdiagnosed with kidney problems? Was a blood test
done last year to check her kidney functions?

My 10 year old cat Rusty was diagnosed with renal insufficiency 3 years ago.
RS is the stage before kidney failure.
He was put on a prescription G/D senior cat diet. While on that diet, he got
crystals in his urine and had to switch to a diet for urinary crystals.
Recent blood tests showed his kidney is fine. So the initial diagnosis was
wrong. Good thing Rusty is not picky with prescription cat food.
This week he is being switched yet again to I/D for his diarrhea.
