      I do have a question, if I may?. I have a 5 month kitten who just got spayed 2 weeks ago. She has been fine full of energy playing talks alot, etc. Her body shape normal but when I woke up this morning both sides of her body look caved in skinny in-between her rib cage and rear. She's been quiet all morning, hiding under the bed most of the day, her meow is so soft almost no meow. She's been eating and went for a poop. I worry I tell my aunt and uncle they say I'm just worrying for nothing She's fine. I don't know what to do? Is this normal? 🤔 I have no vet clinic near me not taking new patients and have to drive over an hour and no car at the moment. Is there anything I can give her? 😭😔 feel so sad for her. Love my baby girl.

      @@justdrive5327 We give him about a half a dropper full every day. When he gets dehydrated, we give him plain Pedialite mixed with 2% low-fat milk. When his stomach is upset and he throws up frequently, we grind a very small amount of Pepcid into his milk/Pedialite mix. Additionally, here in the last few years, we let him eat a bit of regular old wet food along with his kd food. He enjoys that and that helps in hydration as well. He only eats in small amounts, several times a day. I might have given you the impression that our cat is doing very well. He is not. He has his good days and his bad days. He is like a walking skeleton, his coat is dull and rough, but he still seems to enjoy being around us. We know his days are numbered and we just try to keep him happy and comfortable. Twenty years is a good, long life for a cat. Our last two cats (sisters) died at 17 and 18 years of age (both with kidney disease). It's never pleasant to see our animals sick and in the end stages of their lives. Just keep loving your guy to the very end and keep him comfortable. And know that as his protector, the one thing you cannot protect him from is time. Hang in there!

    Dear Dr. Jones,
    I just wanted to personally thank you for your videos. I have a sweet cat 19 yr old cat named Sammy who has suffered from CKD since Dec 2019. The vet who diagnosed him gave us special kidney diet food and pills for high blood pressure (without even checking it) and said he had 6 months to live. This dear cat is my heart and soul, I've had him since I was 9 years old and naturally, I refused to accept what the vet said. I found your videos in Dec 2019 and you have no idea how much they helped. You gave me SO much hope. I found a different vet, one who was so kind and generous with his time and very understanding of my love for Sammy. Up until recently, we've done sub q fluids every other day for him and his special treat after was his favorite canned food mixed with your supplement. He loved it!
    Unfortunately, I've made the difficult decision to have him put down today, but we had 19 months together and we savored every moment and he was a champ through it all. Your euthanasia videos have also just given me comfort at this time. I am terrified to say goodbye to my best friend, but he's very weak and struggling to walk on hard surfaces, when he pees he ends up lying down, he has no interest in me or any other furry friend, and is refusing to go anywhere besides underneath my bed or outside. I see I'm holding on because I don't want to say goodbye plus he's still eating (the dry food I declined him for all those months lol) and drinking water, but it's time.
    Thank you so much for having compassion for animals and giving great educated advice. I credit your supplement for extending and maintaining his quality of life. Sammy also used Slippery Elm, per your advice, to help with nausea and it worked very well! You are a wonderful person. Thank you so much, Dr. Jones. Be well.
    All the best,
    Sam and Em x

My 15 year old kitty pal died last Saturday. I’m really going to miss him. I have spent over $1,000 at the vet and he died anyway. It was after vaccines that he took a turn for the worst. He was diagnosed early kidney disease in December 2021 and he died May 28, 2022 at 2:30 am. At least he did not die alone. I was with him. He was losing bodily functions in-spite of everything I did but he hung on as long as he could. 😭

    I’m so glad they’ve discovered so much more about this problem. Back over twenty years ago, I was told kidney problems were due to tar in some of the canned cat food causing crystals. Maybe, that was incorrect. But, also that the cat ph was off as they are carnivore. Not grain eaters. Had a cat with a lot of problems. I could not afford the vet treatments and it seemed rough for the cats. At first sign of crystals I’d learned to put a little apple cider vinegar ( with the mother) in their water. Seemed to dissolve the crystals, and stop the problem. Worked like a charm. But, I am still wondering if there aren’t several causes. What about high oxalates foods ( as occurs with humans ). Such as spinach and sweet potatoes in their foods. Sounds like healthy food. But, can create kidney stones and bladder stones.

    I lost my baby girl cat 3 days ago. She was doing great in the morning until around 10:30 am. She was relaxing in the cat bed at about 10 am. It was a little cold so I covered her back with a blue towel. A few minutes later, she left the cat bed and walked to the glass back door and sit down as she normally did. At around 10:30 am , she walked back to the bed and paved on it but meanwhile she started meowing abnormally that I had never heard before. She had never meowed like that before. I heard other cats meowing like that when they were not feeling well, I guessed she was about to vomit, so I held her gently with my arms and dropped her on the floor. She didn't vomit but was meowing louder and louder and more and more frequently. I held her again and dropped her in the soft and comfortable bed where she slept every day at night beside me. She was keeping meowing and her stomach started rising and sucking faster and faster. I called the vet immediately for emergency. On my way to the animal veterinary hospital while my friend was driving the car, I was holding her in my arms. I saw her nose and eye sockets turn pale from pink red. She was crying painfully. 12 minutes later we got to the hospital. In the emergency room the vet and his assistants checked her blood and gave her an ultrasonic examination. They said they found fluid around her right kidney and her right side kidney burst , meanwhile my baby cat stopped breathing. They said they were doing CPR on her and gave her a shot to allay the pain. Then they gave her another shot to make her heart to beat . That was what they told me on the phone while I was waiting outside the hospital. Two nurses came to tell me my cat was dying and asked me to sign a paper to put her down. I said NO and asked them why they didn't want to use the infusion- aspiration syringes to drain the fluid around her right side kidney. Apparently that fluid was from her right side kidney and it is very toxic and waste and would get her organs shut down. They said they didn't know what it was if they drain it my cat would die. I still tried so hard and begged them to drain the fluid . I told them that if they did nothing ,my cat would die, if they drain or extract the toxic fluid from her body she still would die, why not give a try to drain it? They said nothing but again asked me to sign the paper to put her down or I would not be allowed to take a look at my cat or have my cat returned to me. I wanted to go inside the emergency room where my cat was, the nurses grabbed my arms and prevented me. Finally , I had to say I wouldn't sign the paper and wouldn't give up on my cat, I would take my cat to other hospital, finally they said ok, and told me they would give my cat another shot to stop her pain. I told them to be honest not to put her down. They said they wouldn't and said that shot was for stopping her pain. Finally they went to the emergency room, carried my baby cat out . We argued nearly 20 minutes before they finally returned and allowed me to see my cat. While typing this right now, I can't stop crying so hard! This 20 minutes was the very last 20 minutes of her life when she was alive and it was also very last 20 minutes that i could have been with my baby girl when she was still alive!After they returned my poor baby girl, her head and all her legs , paws and her butt completely soaked out. she was so weak, she tried to keep her eyes open and when I was calling her " Linlin, Mommy is here baby, don't leave mom,don't give up." She was breathing so hard and tried to meow, after trying meow 3 times, she took her very last breath and died in my arms. I lost my baby girl!
    There is no words that can describe my sharp heart-wretch pain! She was only 10 and half years old I could have given her a lot more love and happiness in the future if she was still alive !
    When the vet finally shew up , he didn't show up until my cat was dying. I tried so hard to hold back tears and suppress my grief , asked him if my cat had acute renal failure or ruptured kidney, he said he didn't know. The nurses beside him told me my cat's bladder was normal. I asked him why there was only fluid around her right side kidney if the fluid was not from her right side kidney? He said he didn't know. I asked him so why initially he asked the nurse to tell me my cat's right side kidney burst if it the fluid was not from that kidney ? He said no idea what disease my cat died from, maybe cancer, maybe blood clot or brain bleeding . I said no matter where the fluid was from, apparently it was not supposed to be there and it was very toxic waste and fatally dangerous and that was how it got all her organs shut down, why they hadn't drained or extracted toxic fluid out of her stomach with infusion-aspiration syringes before it flew all over her body inside and before her organs shut down? He didn't answer and simply said he gotta go. My heart is SO PAINFUL!
    Dr, Jones, what disease did my cat probably die from? Did my cat had acute renal failure or was her right side kidney ruptured? Should the fluid around her right side kidney be drained? Thank you !!

    Our vet always told us that he had early signs of kidney disease so we had him on KD food for quite some time.
    My question is considering his diabetes and his signs of kidney disease, how much and how often should we be feeding Baxter this Wellness brand food?
    Something to note: We feed him his KD food right now with your supplement twice a day about 2 to 2.5oz of food at 7am and 7pm and he always seems to be hungry in the middle of the day.

      I think his cat was eating it for a preventative. I just read cats in early stage can have protein, but in later stage should eat less. I also read chicken or turkey was safe for them. I'm going through all this now and I'm getting a raw food brand because the Royal Canin ingredients read like trash. I don't trust those popular ones produced for vet offices.

    Lombardi was only 14 & other than having a tooth removed, he never had any health issues. He didn't show ANY kidney issues/symptoms until the last 2 weeks before we had to let him go. That first week we found 2 puddles that I thought were vomit from too much cat grass which, for him, wasn't unusual at all. Also, he left a drop on hubby's lap but he had just come from the litter box. The biggest red flag was the next/last week when he got me four separate times in one day, he'd fall asleep and then have incontinence issues that would wake him up, leading to a trip to the vet & pet diapers. They did blood work, and his creation level was at 8.7, he was already at stage 4/end stage kidney failure. We still did two 'under the skin fluids', just in case, but they both went right to the kidney & when they did follow-up blood work, that level had jumped to 9.9. That level is supposed to be 1, 5 means 90% of the kidneys have failed, we were now talking kitty hospice. We spent our last 24 hours with him making him comfortable, making sure he knew we were there with him & how much he was loved. We had the vet come to the house the next day & even though he was still walking, eating, drinking & toileting, we knew what had to be done. The three things that helped me justify that we were doing the right thing, we knew he wasn't himself anymore, he was never going to be himself again & it was only going to get worse. Such a sweet boy, he'd already been through so much, enough was enough, we loved him too much for him to have to get to the 'worse'. We miss him like crazy but I have no doubt that we did the right thing.

    Murray looks like he enjoyed helping make this video. 😁 I recently watched several of your videos about home remedied for cats, cat flu, and eye infections. I am in awe at how well Murray does when you administer his eye drops!!!! I have a kitten I found on October 1, abandoned inside the wall of a storage unit. We literally tore part of the wall down to get him out. He weighed just 7 ounces when we brought him inside - sadly, people in this area abandon animals frequently. I estimate he was 2½ - 3 weeks old. (Still had blue eyes, ears open but partially folded over, wobbly when walking, still had milk teeth.) I started out bottle feeding him kitten formula and have slowly transitioned to wet food. He's now eating from a dish and using the litter box on his own which was a milestone am really grateful he has met. He caught an upper respiratory infection from one of my cats and his eye is runny and the pink part is swollen. So I brewed up some green tea and honey. I have to say that it works really well once I finally get it into his eye!! I am so grateful for your videos, now I just have to master the eye drop skills.

His vet has him on Hills k/d, he doesn’t eat it. I mix in another cat food hoping to entice him. He will not eat canned food, no soft treats, he’s extremely picky. Doesn’t even like water/broth in his kibble. He throws up multiple times a day, sometimes food, sometimes just bile. He LOVES plants, will rip your arm off for a basil plant. But makes him throw up even more. We have another kitty that’s healthy, but they share food so she has to eat what he does. There’s not many kibble options for CKD.
