Hi,
Inky hasn't a total loose stool except when I gave him some
rebound and then another time when I gave him some clinicare RF. I
knew it would do it, but my vet wanted me to try it as he needs the
extra fluids to keep the kidneys flushed...He drinks plenty of chicken
broth and water right now that we don't have to use subq fluids...Subq
fluids make him feel really bad instead of better for about 10 hrs..
Anyway, today his stool was firm at first then the next one was
sorta firm with some soft stool around it..and also, I think he throws
up when he has to strain to poop. I have seen him do this in the past
as I think it upsets his stomach to strain so much..Does that make
sense? I have had renal failure kitties in the past and like you said
they do get very nauseated and throw up alot..Inky (knock on wood)
didn't throw up today...It is usually only once a day...As he only
usually has 1 stool a day but today he has already had 2..He did eat
alot last night...I am having to feed him K/d chicken, also i/d and his
grilled chicken for now..I fix 3 bowls when I go to bed and he cleaned
them all last night...I still leave dry k/d out for him , but he hasn't
touched that in months..I did up the pred back to 7.5mg...I divide it
as I have to give him tapazole twice daily so he gets meds in the day
and night..The metronidazole works great for Inky usually...Is that
what flagyl is? I couldn't remember.. Have you used science diet I/D
for Lucy any? I know science diets may not be the best in the world,
but I have had all my animals on it for years..with great results...
Anyway, thanks for the info and I will let you know how Inky
does on the upped dose of pred..I just wish I could get him down to a
lower dose, but it may never be possible..Since he is so old, I may
just need to leave it alone instead of trying to go down..
Kerry, Bandy and Inky
