One of my vets tells of cats who drink local city water who develop
this problem. My guys all drink bottled spring or distilled water
because we travel and it is easier to do the bottles than to change
from one city water to another (yes, there is a difference...big time).

Instead of water dishes, try a water fountain. My Homey has
recurring bouts of sturvite crystals and we can't find any medical
reason for it. I had 1 water fountain in the kitchen and got
another for my bath since everyone comes into my bedroom at night.
We like my memory foam mattress and the electric blanket. I have
noticed that everyone drinks more water since the fountains. They
are attracted by the sound and everyone has adifferent part of the
water slide to drink from. I also added a bit of organic (cloudy)
cidar vinegar. Someone in the group recommended it for the
crystals. I also started Homey on cranberry paste. She does not
like it, but I can put it on my finger an stick it in her mouth. So
far she has not bitten me but leads a merry chase around the house
when she sees me coming. Also, so far she has not had anothr bout
with the crystals.

Thanks, Natalie and all who responded. I've got Manny on
prescription K/D dry food, baby food meats and lots of water dishes
all over the house. He's probably close to 15 years old and has had
CRF for several years. He's put on some weight recently and I'm
hopeful he'll be around a few more years. Lots of love from this
sweet, black cat!

Here it is:
http://www.felinecrf.org/
I am dealing with CRF on a continuous basis, and treatment depends
on the levels of creatinine, BUN, phosphorus, etc.
I use aluminum hydroxide, Pepcid AC, sub=q fluids, special diets,
and whatever the vet tells me depending on test results.

I must have missed it, but can someone give me Tanya's site about
CRF? My beloved Manny cat has CRF and I want to do as much as I
can for him.
Thank you all,
Valerie

Tanya's CRF site is awesome. It really helped me turn my renal cat
around. I can't access my list of things to feed when cats refuse
to eat right now. Off the top of my head: a plain McDonald's
hamburger patty, all meat baby food, boiled chicken, cheese,
lunchmeat, smelly fish food...... I am just learning about Felv.
My prior experience with cat issues is with diabetes and renal
failure. Sending you good thoughts. Holl font>

My vet ordered Interferon and Cyproheptadine. The vet suspects
leukemia is
already in kitty's bone marrow. Ginger kitty refuses to eat his
food but tried
to eat his cat litter last night. What should I do? Euthanasia? I
can't see my
darling suffer like this! Marinda
