I too have a cat with kidneys on the way out, so I understand what your mum is
going through. Many purrs on the way.

If it helps, this is what I do with Francis, my cat with kidney problems and he
is thriving, all things considered: -

Francis won't eat the special food from the vet, designed for cats with kidney
problems, but he will eat cat food for "senior" cats, so I'm giving him that.
At least it is partially designed for the older kidney (less phosphorus), so
it's better than nothing, so to speak. Plus, Francis gets a beta-blocker tablet
every morning, to lessen the strain on the heart that kidney problems cause -
and they are *excellent*. Plus, access at all times to plenty of fresh water.

As I say, my Francis is *himself* - and although I know he's not going to be
around as long as I would like, whatever time he has left, long or short, is of
good quality. The way he acts, he has no intention of shuffling off this mortal
coil any time soon :-)

I hope Maggie fares well too.

Cheers, helen s

Purrs for Maggie and purrs for your Mom. It's tough when they get older.

Purrs and good thoughts on their way for Maggie and your mum. Even at
that age, kidney disease is manageable, as I found when my 19-year old
was diagnosed. He had another two years with me and they were really
good years. Here's hoping your mum and Maggie have the same.

Purrs are heading over for Maggie. Can your mother get her special
kidney food? Or any senior-cat food, like Helen mentioned. I'm not sure
baby food is very good for Maggie, since it may contain a lot of
vegetables that are hard for her kidneys to deal with.

Purrs are on their way - I have a "Maggie" (Bandit is our grouchy old lady)
at home too, and I know how your mom would feel if anything were to happen
to her.

Hugs,

Mega-purrs for Maggie, your mom and you.

Lots of purrs on the way. Your mom might want to consider another vet,
one who would help her manage Maggie's condition to give her as long a
happy life as possible.

Here's hoping that Maggie has some good times left and  that a change
in her regimen will do the trick.  Purrs for your mom too -- someone
with a sick kitty needs them.

Regards and Purrs,

Lots of improvement in health purrs coming from England.

We certainly will purr for Maggie to have more birthdays that will be
healthy and happy.  Best wishes.   MLB

Many purrs for Maggie -- does the vet think that subcutaneous fluids might
help her?
Christine

Yes indeed: purrs for Maggie to resist the onset of old age for as
long as possible, and for your Mom to gradually come round to accept
the sadly inevitable and revel in the happy memories of their life
together rather than the pain of loss.

Best wishes

Purrs and tail wags for Maggie.  It is so hard to have to let go.  :-(

Lots of purrs and best wishes for Maggie's health to continue to improve,

Maggie is my moms baby and I

Purrs on the way for Maggie and your Mom

Purrs on the way for Maggie's continued improvement.  Like we've found many
times on this group, the v*t ain't always right.  the power of purr is truly
awesome.

Purrs for Maggie, with the right diet she could have many more months of
happy life.

Many, many purrs for Maggie and your mama. I've been there; my Fritzie had
kidney troubles. Your mama may want to talk with her vet about a prescription
kidney diet for Maggie, and supplemental fluids given subcutaneously. They can
dramatically improve Maggie's quality of life.

Blessed be,
Baha

Of course. Purrs are on their way for Maggie.

Ido hope your Moms baby is doing well, still Henri  RB was my Baby
and I just know how your mom is feeling.
Purrs and Hugs to Maggie and to your mom
