Now, let’s see. I heard Creamy sneeze once today during breakfast. But I’ve already laced the Porch Cats’ food with Vetri DMG. I think Akira and Kai are also still sneezing a teeny weeny bit, but already getting better. Kai is much better than Akira now. I have not heard Samantha sneeze this morning, so…

I managed to do Tabs’ subcut singlehandedly this morning. She just struggled a little bit during the poking, but she settled down quickly. What a good girl. I’m still very puzzled, and of course, very worried about Tabs’ sudden onset of CKD. As I reflected over her case and checked her previous kidney readings, yes,…

I was in shock yesterday when Tabs was diagnosed with CKD. I really had not expected it at all. So I forgot to ask the vet which stage she is at. I had assumed it would be an early stage (1 or 2?). I managed to text the vet today. Based on the creatinine and…

I wish it did not happen, but it did. With the close proximity between Samantha and Akira, I guess it’s not a surprise. Indra started sneezing a week ago, then Kai and Robin (at the Catio), then Creamy (from his own house!). This was followed by Akira and now….it’s Samantha. For Indra, Kai, Robin, Creamy…

Our Super Seniors are Cow Mau (17 years 7 months) and Indy (15 years 7 months) and our seniors are Ginger and Tabs (both estimated at 13 years old). This is Indy after his subcut today. He’s such a good boy, really. Based on his kidney readings, Indy was already at Stage 4 of CKD…

I am not imagining this. After the very first subcut, Tabs’ appetite has improved. So fast? Yes, I’m not imagining it. So the elevated creatinine and BUN must have been making her feel uncomfortable for weeks now, hence, the reduced appetite and tonight’s first ever 200ml subcut must have made her suddenly more comfortable with…

I won’t sugarcoat it or keep anyone in suspense here, Tabs has early kidney disease. I’m shocked. Tabs’ previous blood test results was done this September. It was just three months ago and everything was still normal. If I had not taken Tabs today, I would only have done the next blood test NEXT September…

As mentioned in the earlier post, I decided to take Ginger and Tabs to get a geriatric check-up at the new vet’s this evening. This clinic is much, much nearer to our home, so in case of emergencies, it would be faster to reach them. Also, it saves me a lot of travelling time. I’ll…

I don’t want to leave any stone unturned with Indy. His kidney readings are off the roof and he remains clinically well enough. I just need to know if I’ve missed anything or there are other options that I could try for Indy. So I found out that there’s a vet much nearer to our…

I laced everyone’s food with Vetri DMG today, and thankfully, Creamy ate all his food up! He is normally very choosy and discerning of “new smells”. I haven’t heard Creamy sneezing anymore so I hope he’s cured. I am very sure Creamy has a home in the back road, so I only gave him Cetirizine…

It was bound to happen… I was hoping against hope that it won’t, but it did this morning. Akira started sneezing a lot. Indra and Kai are both definitely getting better, so it’s Akira’s turn now. If angels, fairies and nymphs exist, I would like to pray to them to intervene so that the sneezing…

I nebulised Kai last night and again this morning. The sneezing has not reduced so I decided to take the next step. She was really good with the nebulisation process and did not struggle at all. I did it again this morning and she was most cooperative too. She’s also easier to feed medicines to…

I gave up with the liquid Curam so we drove to the vet’s to purchase Clavamox capsules for Indra’s remaining four more days. The whole antibiotic course is for seven days. We’ve done three days now, miserably, with Indra foaming at the mouth with the liquid. Clavamox is the same medication as Curam. It is…
