Re: Mini's not well ....


Have only just caught up with this, but am so glad to hear that it isn't anything too serious, and fingers crossed that the next lot of bloods show more improvement.

Re: Mini's not well ....


Yesterday's blood test shows early kidney failure. She has to have medication to reduce blood pressure in her kidneys, for a month and then another blood test, and a low-protien diet.
She looks absolutely fine and is behaving normally (and swearing at the babies) so i hope this regime will set her on the right route to living to 100!

Forgot to say that the 'cat-spa' drinking fountain has arrived. She finds it very interesting and relaxing to watch but I haven't seen her drinking from it yet!

Re: Mini's not well ....


I bet she'll have a go when you're not looking .

Sorry to hear about the onset of kidney failure but as you know very well - Min can still have a long and happy life ahead of her even with the condition!!

Re: Mini's not well ....


As you've said to me I believe at least twice "You spoil that cat she'll never make old bones" A water fountain I ask you ................ you'l be getting her food next........

Glad she's okay even if the results show a slight illness it appears kidney trouble seems to be the main illness of older cats,
