Is a raw food diet safe for my 3 cats with medical issues?
I have 5 cats but it is only 3 I am worried about. 5 year old male with a history of urinary blockages controlled with Hills Prescription Diet c/d. 13 year old male in Mild kidney failure. He has had 2 flare ups requiring us to give subcuteaneous fluids but is fine currently. 9 month old male adopted 2 months ago who had severe coccidia infection when we brought him home. After two days he started leaking diarrhea all the time. We did several weeks of prednisone and flaggyl which have cleared up the coccidia. After resolving the coccidia he still had leakage and a mucusy discharge so vet suspected IBS and put him on Hills Prescription Diet d/d which is a rabbit and pea based food. We havent had any leakage in a couple of weeks now so she said to stay on this food.
I looked into the raw food diet before but my vet recommended against it for fear of salmonella, etc. I still would like to give it a try but would love to hear from others using a raw diet with ill cats.
I should have been more specific as to the treatment of the coccidia. He tested positive for coccidia which was treated with Albon(?sp) and Prednisone. We did three rounds of this with no improvement. At that point the vet said that it could be IBS and put him on Flaggyl for two weeks and the HIlls food. Her explanation for the IBS was that he was allergic to the protein source (chicken) and that the HIlls uses rabbit. I thought this to be odd just because it seemed more logical to me that it was the corn and other grains that would be the problem since cats are carnivores. She said that it is normally not the case. I asked her about the raw diets I have seen (Feline Futures, Feline Instincts, and one off the catnutrition.com site). Her opion was that it wasnt safe due to the risk of salmonella, etc. I thank those who have responed and would love to hear from more raw feeders.
Answer: I can't help you much, I'm afraid, but I'm answering because I hate seeing all the ignorance out there about raw meat diets.
I'm sorry to say you have more sense than your vet. Or should I be sorry? LOL Whatever, you know more than she does.
Yes, the prescription diets work. But why sentence a cat to a lifetime of crappy, inferior foods? You're right to consider alternatives. Yay you!
The kidney/protein thing is being rethought, but I don't know enough to advise you.
What I can recommend is this - find a raw friendly vet in your area. Perhaps this will be a holistic vet - most of them seem to have a clue when it comes to proper nutrition. This way you can get one-on-one advice about the best diets for your problem kids.
It may cost more at least up front, but I do believe it's worthwhile. I just recently switched vets. I took one cat to a good cat specialist, although I was sad to see Science Diet, Eukanuba and Royal Canin being sold. I took my problem child (weight, digestive issues) to a holistic vet and it was a religious experience! I got personalized advice that I would have paid any price for. But it only cost me $160, and that included a few items I bought.
If nothing else, I suggest you join the Yahoo group Whole Cat Health. It's a fantastic group and the moderator probably knows everything there is to know about cats. If she or other members can't advise you, they can at least point you in the right direction.
In the meantime, feel secure leaving your cats eating the overpriced, but somehow effective, prescription food. They'll hang in there until you've had time to do some research.
Good luck!

Elderly Cat sudden Urination Problems?
Our cat, which is at least fourteen years old (probably older, we adopted her two years ago) has begun urinating on the carpet.
Weve replaced the pad, sealed the concrete and placed new carpet, taken her to the vet (she has Mild kidney failure, but since her new diet her blood work is getting better) and we added an additional litterbox. We use litter that is contains no perfume (so not to distract her) and shell walk into her litterbox, move in a circle like normal...then get out to urinate on the carpet feet away from it.
Shell continue to use her litterbox(es) but will also happily go on the floor. Our other concern is she forgets where we feed her at - the vet wants to do an ultrasound and if needed IV fluids - we dont feel comfortable putting her through that. If this was a person, I would say it was some sort of mental deficiency brought on by age. Whether that is possible in a cat or not we do not know. Anyone share a similar experience?
Weve had her in the vet multiple times this past month and a half for bloodwork and dietary assistance. They took urine and fecal samples along with the bloodwork.
Sadly (yes, sadly) they didnt have an ironclad answer except she has Mild kidney failure, which our new diet is helping with. My wife and I were hoping the vet would find something directly wrong we could fix...
...this, is so random. Even if shes urinating on the floor, and you pick her up gently to place her in her box she continues the stream despite being held. Im beginning to believe it may be her time. Shes happy, loves to be pet and sit with you still...but everything is becoming a struggle.
Answer: This sounds like you are on the right track. What the vet should be looking for if they have not already is gallstones. I have seen cats with large gallstones before and they urinate randomly.
When they are in the litter box and try to go that is when the pain from the stones cripples the kitty. The kitty gets away from the pain by leaving the littler box. By the time they get out of the litter box they are going wherever they are at that time.
This is incredibly painful for the kitty, and the operation is not cheap. The stones I have seen are the size of large jelly beans! Can you imagine that in a little kitty? I hope you have good luck with your kitty and she stays with you a while longer. Good Luck.

What types of food can one eat if they have kidney disease and liver failure?
My uncle has these and was wondering what he can and cant eat. Im very worried about him.. He is very ill and I really hope he can pull through this illness and come out healthy. The following is what his diagnosis for his renal biopsy says on paper: 1. Immune Complex-Mediated Glormerulonephritis Consistent With Resolving Post Infectious Glomerulenphritis 2. Acute Tubular Injury 3. Mild Arterial Nephrosclerosis. Then it has pictures with captions underneath reading Mild Segmental Mesanglal Hypercellularity, Acute Tubular Injury(Same as the other one so it kind of confused me), and Mesanglal Deposits. History: 43 year old man, HCV and HBV positive with liver "failure," underwent biopsy in the assessment of gross hematuria with serum creatine 0.9 mg/dL. Microscopic Findings: The specimen for conventional light microscopy, studied with hermatoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, periodic acid-methenamine silver, and Massons techrome stained sections, consists of several cores of renal cortex containing together approximatley 20 glomeruli, two or three of which are completely sclerotic. Few of the remainder display mild ischemic capillary wall wrinkling. There is mild segmental increase in mesangial cellularity in few glomeruli. Capillary lumina are patent, capillary walls are single contoured and there are no segments of sclerosis, adhesions or crescents. Erythrocytes are in some tubular lumina. Cells of some tubules are irregularly flattened and cells of some proximal tubules have-then it stops there. How much salt can he eat in a day, is what he wants to know and anymore details you can give me concerning a diet plan for him. Thank you so much!
Or you could just give me a site where i could just look it up, either one is fine. :)
Answer: I like him have both. The liver can be self rejuvenating but not always. any ways, for the past five years I pretty much eat what I want. The thing with the liver in most cases is NO DRINKING. Now lets talk about the kidneys...kidney shut down will throw the body chemistry for a loop. there are some types of food that literature will say not to eat or to stay away from.
Red meat is one of them but you have to eat it to keep your protein levels up. when he goes on dialysis they will do monthly blood tests to see where all his chemistry level are at. Dairy products have to stay away from but I like cheese and the big one is he will have to watch his fluid intake. Now thats a tough one but the dialysis center will educate him on that. He will also have to take BINDERS like Phoslo...it helps keep phosphorous levels down because that attacks the heart and he can have a heart attack.
Hope that helps....
P.S. I'm having pepparonie pizza right now. Good luck

Can a 15 year old cat overcome MILD KIDNEY FAILURE?
Vet said she had diluted urine & the kidney test came back elevated. She was good in "Liver, protein, cholesterall, electrolites, thyroid, red & white blood cells ... but shes lost 25 % of her weight, and is going bald.
Vet says theyd like to run more tests, but I fear that shes dying ... I guess Im paronoid about vets who try to take every dime from you, and want an opinion if spending an extra $500.00 would result in my cat living a QUALITY life as opposed to a longer life.
Answer: Overcome it, no, but slow the progression, yes. Feed her Hill's Prescription Diet k/d (its specifically for kidney disease). I just lost my 15-year old cat, had to have him put to sleep on Monday. At first, they thought it was just kidney failure, hence the Hill's food, but it seems he also had cancer, and was getting progressively worse by the day. If it had only been the kidney's, the diet may have actually given him a couple of extra years, and I do mean quality years. Unfortunately, the cancer put an end to that hope. The food comes in dry and canned. Good luck, and please don't give up on her. She should not suffer, but with the correct diet, if her kidney's are the only problem, she should be feeling much better. Get her started on the Hill's quickly, and don't give her other foods.
I gave him Renal Essentials for cats too, they're tablets. Lots of vitamins and minerals. I had to get a pill crusher and put it into this canned food, but I really think it helped. I also used Nutri-Cal cat dietary supplement gel, just squirted some in that same canned food bowl. This stuff is suppose to help the cat's appetite along. They say you can just squirt some out and they'll eat it, but of course, my cay was stubborn so it had to go in the food. Believe it nor not, I got the Renal Essentials and the Nutri-Cal on ebay. We are 50 miles from the nearest pet store.
For his last couple of weeks, we tried the IV fluids. I took the kit home and gave him under the skin injections twice a day the first week, and once a day the second week. It would have ended up being only once or twice a week, and it did seem he was making progress, but then the cancer got worse. You might ask your vet about the IV fluids. It seems that when they first get sick, they get very dehydrated, but after being property hydrated, they should get pretty much back to normal.

Urine/kidney infection question. Should i be worried or not?
Ive had a urine infection for a couple of months, and had three courses of antibiotics to try and clear up the thing. Ive just had the results back from my latest urine sample, and was told it is clear. Well, after i gave in my last sample, i was still going to the toilet often and the inside of my vagina felt sore (it didnt seem to me that it had gone). The only thing different is that i have been drinking cranberry juice (which helped), could that alter the results? To cut a long story short, my biggest concern was developing a kidney infection, and lately, i have been getting a dull ache now and again in the left kidney, very mild, nothing major. But, last night, i was getting a sharp pain (on and off) in my back, just behind my arm. I looked on symptom checker on the web, and for that symptom, the second possible condition for that was: "acute kidney failure". Now, i know it might just be a muscle spasm or something, but because the word "kidney" was mentioned (and the fact that ive had a urinary tract infection for so long), i cant help but worry. I havent got any of the other symptoms that go with it, like swollen feet and ankles, high fever etc. Surely if there were anything wrong regarding my kidneys, it would have shown up in the numerous urine samples i gave? Do you think i should accept that the urine infection has, at last, gone, and that my kidneys are fine? I just dont know what to think any more.
Other than feeling quite weak and fatigued, i feel fine. Surely if i had "acute kidney failure" id be in a much worse state?
Edit. xxtatu04xx, i agree with you about checking symptoms online, it can turn you into a hypochondriac. Web MD symptom checker has been very accurate though, when ive used it in the past.
Tons of kidney infections? You poor thing!
Answer: As far as finding problems with your kidneys in your urine, they could possibly find protein wasting. If it is very very clear like almost water clear that is significant to a possible kidney failure. Other than that other symptoms would be lethargy (tired all the time) and nausea due too toxin build ups.(your kidney and liver help your body filter toxins). Really the only telltale sign of kidney failure or kidney problems is through having a blood panel run. Usually they will check your BMP (basic metabolic panel), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), and creatine levels. These all relate to your kidney function. They may also do a CBC (complete blood count) to make sure you do not have a build up of white blood cells which may indicate an infection. My ending advice, talk to your primary care physician first.
Oh crap forgot to say that MRI and ultraounds w/ contrast are also an acurate way to gauge kidney function.

The doctor suspects mild congestive heart failure. Explain how this can develop from hypertension?
Ms. S. J., aged 48 years, has essential hypertension, diagnosed 4 years ago. She has not been taking her medication during the past 6 months because she has been feeling fine. Now she has a new job and has been too busy to enjoy her usual swimming and golf. She has decided to have a checkup because she is feeling tired and dyspneic and has had several bouts of dizziness, blurred vision and epistaxis (nosebleeds) lately. On examination, her blood pressure is found to be 190/120, some rales are present in the lungs, and the retinas of her eyes show some sclerosis and several arteriolar ruptures. The physician orders rest and medication to lower the blood pressure, as well as an appointment with a nutritionist and urinary tests to check kidney function.
Answer: Congestive heart failure is basically when the ventricles are failing to pump blood adequately. Prolonged and untreated hypertension can cause ventricular hypertrophy (enlarging of the muscle in the ventricles), thus reducing the the size of the actual chamber. The ventricles are then no longer able to fill enough to keep up with preload, since blood coming into the heart stays the same, but ability to pump it out reduces, blood backs up into the lungs causing pulmonary hypertension and congestion in left ventricular failure, and blood backs up into the periphery in right ventricular failure causing peripheral edema.

cat kidney failure, can it be treated?
15 years old. spayed. domestic short hair
vet just found a heart murmur and kidney failure. he is doing a urine test and culture tomorrow to determine exactly how bad the kidney failure is, but he believes it is just starting and is mild and can be easily treated. this opinion is based on a blood test.
the only problem the cat has is constipation from the kidney failure dehydrating her.
i questioned the vet on treating her, because of her age and i thought kidney failure could not be treated. he said she is not too old and Mild kidney failure can be easily treated, it could be several years before the kidney failure degrades to the point where she cant be helped.
she is active and happy.
i dont have a problem with treating a cat, if the treatment will give her several happy years, but im not going to keep her alive it she is not happy.
has anyone ever heard of kidney failure being treated?
wow, thanks every one. i always thought kidney failure could not be treated.
she has always been on a mostly canned food diet. i do leave a bowl of dry out all day.
i fed her the cheap, made in china stuff ,for most of her life, not realizing how bad it was. she now gets "instinct" brand. 95 % meat, no grains.
i will wait to see the results of the test and what vet recommends, but i already know, she will not tolerate injections, IVs or even pills.
i got her when she was 8 months old, had just weaned her first litter, had many, many owners, and was abused. those scars are still with her, she is a great cat, unless she is in pain, then she hurts you. giving her injections, IVs and pills all count as pain.
Answer: Goodness yes, all the time!
1) Proper hydration: feeding canned food in addition to or instead of dry food can help. One of those kitty fountains can encourage the cat to drink more.
In later stages, cats may need SQ (aka SC, or subcutaneous fluids) which can be given at home. Many cats will need SQ fluids daily. Don't worry--a vet tech will show you how to do it. This is a point where you can reevaluate your cat's quality of life. Many tolerate this treatment very well, but if the cat hates it and is miserable, that's an ok time to draw the line.
2) Proper diet: you'll read a ton of confusing, contradictory information about diet. Raw vs. dry prescription vs. whatever. Many vets recommend a prescription diet that is specifically formulated for cats with renal failure. These diets are great--they have a proper amount of protein, lower sodium, higher amounts of fatty acids, etc. If your vet recommends one, you don't have to do it, but it really might help your kitty.
3) Other medications: some cats benefit from a small variety of medications, for example an appetite stimulant if the appetite drops. Something like Glycolax (Miralax) may help with the constipation. Your vet will help guide you if any other meds are needed.
Many kitties live for several years after the first diagnosis. The most important part is early detection, and by being a responsible pet owner and taking her in for regular checkups, you have succeeded there! If you hadn't, you may not have known anything was wrong until the kidneys began to shut down, and then it would be too late. Instead, you've given her a chance to enjoy life for a while longer.
Very best wishes to you and your kitty.

Is my cat senile? he is acting odd..?
He is 18 years old and has Mild kidney failure and we have him on IV fluids once a day per vets orders, But he is acting weird, constantly wandering around the house, he doesnt know where he is, and gets stuck in corners and just stares at the wall.. he sees his vet regularly for blood tes (twice a month) etc.. and he is not in any pain (his vet said so), so dont tell me to put him to sleep. I know he is like 70% blind can that be whats wrong?? or is he senile? Is there anything i can do to help? Its very stressful because he cannot be left alone at night (when he wanders) my family and i are taking "shifts" so someone is always with him in case he gets stuck. If anyone has dealt with a similar situation & can shed some light onto whats going on and what i can do it would be greatly appreciated :)
He also doesnt know how to use the litter box.. he pees and poops on the floor. he is eating fine, and pooping normal no diarrhea.
Answer: My cat did the same thing, so no worries. She used to get "stuck" in corners and would howl becuase she couldn't find her way out. The vet said that she was senile, just like older humans can be and we believe he is correct because the cat started talking conversationally to the furniture. Incontinence is an unfortunate side effect of aging (and not a fun one). You may have to limit the rooms that your cat has access to so that they are closer to the litter box. FYI, our cat also stopped bathing. In case your cat starts doing that too, they sell bath wipes at pet stores that are safe for animal use. She also got cold easily, so we had to keep the house warmer than we would have liked :(
She lived to be 21, happy and healthy so you could have many wonderful years together with your cat!

My cat has kidney failure, what can we do to prolong her life?
My cat has Mild kidney failure and I do not want her to go. We are giving her fluid supplements with potassium and dry cat food. I would like to know EVERYTHING that is good for a cat with kidney failure to help prolong the life. I heard that moderate amounts of high quality protein as canned wet food is good. Also, what should I do to drink more water? She loves drinking leftover bathwater or just bathwater in general..
I cannot bear her dying yet.. my dog is already having to die this month or else we are putting him down.
Also, she has been far more affection and has been desiring attention more lately. She is pretty energetic too and not so sluggish. However, she is very feisty when we inject her with the fluids. What can we do to calm her more?
There are ways to make her kidney failure progression decrease. Now stop giving me phony replies, please.
Answer: there are several things you can to to minimize stress on the kidneys. Two of them you are already doing - the potassium, and the fluids. Talk to the vet about adding a phosphorus binder, as phosphorus is very hard on ailing kidneys. There is also a new supplement called Azodyl which helps the body remove the toxins that the kidneys can't do so efficiently anymore. Many vets now recommend a normal - but canned - high quality protein diet. The lack of protein causes muscle wasting - the body still needs protein, so depletes the muscle mass to get it. But it has to be high quality protein - not by-products. Those are hard to digest. A high quality canned diet really can do wonders for your cat - foods like Wellness, Blue Buffalo Wilderness - anything with NO by-products. It makes a big difference between a cat with good muscle tone, or that sunken-in look from the low-protein diets.
There are several Yahoo groups devoted to CRF. Many of these participants are more knowledgeable in the management of CRF than many vets, so check them out. There is much new research, and more to management of CRF than throwing a bag of dry low protein food at it.

My mom passed away 3 weeks ago, she had diabetes and a mild congestive heart failure. Her passing was sudden..?
I was just there 30 mins bfore she died. I was told that her system failed (kidneys) but I cant understand why it wasnt seen by the drs. She was at med surg and was just confined in the hospital 2 weeks before that. What will u do, if this happened to you? Should I contact a lawyer or talk to the hospital and the doctor? I dont want anyone messing with her medical records.
Answer: That's the way most diabetics die. Suddenly.
Sorry.

Can I Lose 23kgs in 3 Months?
Okay, I weigh 78kgs (170lbs) at the moment (yeah, I know thats heaps--im only 5"3, and im just recovering from an illness), and I want to weigh 55kgs (120lbs) by May because I am going on a family holiday then and want to look good.
Do you think it is possible to lose 23kgs in 12 weeks? Id be exercising at least 2 hours a day and cutting back a lot on what I eat...no sweets, lots of veggies and wholegrain foods etc.
Id really appreciate some advice on how to lose such a large amount of weight in such a short time, AND be able to keep it off. Ive been sick for several years and had Mild kidney failure, so its going to be hard getting back on track. Im determined to do this though.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks xx
Answer: 23 kgs in 3 months, ofcourse. if you really do work out for 2 hours a day and watch what you eat, it should be a breeze really. Also, very importantly, dont eat late at night, the latest time you should eat should be about 7.

My cat has kidney failure, what can I do to prolong her life?
My cat has Mild kidney failure and I do not want her to go. We are giving her fluid supplements with potassium and dry cat food. I would like to know EVERYTHING that is good for a cat with kidney failure to help prolong the life. I heard that moderate amounts of high quality protein as canned wet food is good. Also, what should I do to drink more water? She loves drinking leftover bathwater or just bathwater in general..
I cannot bear her dying yet.. my dog is already having to die this month or else we are putting him down.
Also, she has been far more affection and has been desiring attention more lately. She is pretty energetic too and not so sluggish. However, she is very feisty when we inject her with the fluids. What can we do to calm her more?
Note: There are ways to slow progression of kidney failures, so do not say "There is nothing you can do".
Answer: When my cat had kidney failure, I had to give him saline fluids by IV at home. We also had to switch him over to a low-protein cat food. The vet explained that when a cat has kidney failure, his body can't process protein very well. Meat made him nauseous, I was told. He was very far gone when we started treating him and what we did didn't really work. I won't describe to you what happened to him as he declined, but it wasn't pretty. I would think that the earlier you start treating her, the better off she'll be.
A good way to give a cat fluids is to hold out a towel, have one person place the cat in the towel, then you wrap her up with that towel so that she can't move. Then, sit on the floor and hold her between your knees, or in your lap if she's not struggling. And then give the fluids at the scruff of her neck. Hopefully she will get used to being restrained. You should also hold her in your lap or between your knees at other times when she is not getting fluids. That way she will not be trained to fear you or being held.
Good luck. Sorry to hear about your kitty.

can taking tablets for diabetes change sperm colour.?
i am 77 years old, and take tablets for diabetes. lately i have noticed my sperm colour is a brownish red colour. could this be the tablets i am taking, or could it be to do with my kidneys, as i have recently been told by my doctor that i have Mild kidney failure, or could the colour change be something more serious.
Answer: You need to phone your pharmacist and ask about this. I have a feeling that it could be a medication side effect, so just check it out.

Why does my cat keep weeing everywhere?
My cat is a 13 year old male, who has recently been diagnosed with very Mild kidney failure. Hes skinnier than he was before, but the vet tells me this is usual for older cats, and since his appetite is fine, it hasnt worried me too much. He does, however, drink a lot more than before, and subsequently urinates more often too.
The problem is, hes suddenly stopped only using his litter tray to go to the toilet. Hes now started finding places in the house to go to the toilet, and is literally wrecking the place! He always goes in the same places - one particular corner of the hall carpet, and under the windows in a room upstairs. He also pees on the tiled floor in the utility room, under a radiator.
It wouldnt be difficult for him to pee outside (theres a catflap), and I change the cat litter regularly (which he can always access), so why has he suddenly started peeing on the carpet? Ive been reading up on strange behaviour, but nothing makes sense - there are no new smells in the house, and the only other cat (or animal for that matter) living there is his sister, who hes lived with since he was a kitty. Weve not swapped any furniture round either, and there doesnt seem to be any stressors I can spot.
Why has he gone pee-crazy?? Ive literally had to corden off areas in my house so he doesnt wee there!
Please help!
Answer: he has Mild kidney failure, he's sick. That's why he's peeing everywhere. You answered your own question.
