There has not been much to report. Stripe has been doing very well on the regiment but there have been a few changes. He started having an allergic reaction to the Renal Essentials and started to chew his front paws. He also started to vomit the pills up within 5 minutes of taking them so he is now only on the Azodyl (2X a day), 50ml of Pedialyte every other day and a teaspoon of Salmon oil every day.
We had to change his dry food as well. The Nutro Natural food INCREASED the protein to 40%!!! Way too much for his sensitive kidneys! After research and speaking to a wonderful animal nutritional adviser from Felidae (their food's Phosphorus was too high but the person was awesome and gave me a lot of information) I decided to place him on Healthwise from Natura Pet Foods http://www.naturapet.com/brands/healthwise.asp ALL of my cats are in love with this food!!!
I mix it with the Royal Canin Senior and Stripe is thriving on it, maintaining his weight and looking well. I have to take him to the Vet to see where his numbers are but no matter what comes back he is looking incredible to me!
We have added another member to out family. A kitten that we named Sho who wandered in and was dying in our yard. The poor thing was skin and bones, lame in his back legs and starving to death. Now 6 months later he is strong and healthy!!! He was placed on Royal Canin Baby Cat when he came in (he was about 6-8 weeks old) and now he is on Royal Canin Kitten formula. We have not decided what adult food we will place him on just yet.
I will update when there is more news about them!!!
