Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2005Update: Tycho's Blood Work (19 yo with possible CRF)
The blood work came back normal for kidney function. Thanks so much for all your kind words. The Tapazole needed to be adjusted, he is now up to 1.5 pills a day instead of 1. He did have a slightly elevated liver enzyme, which I plan to discuss further with the vet (DH answered the call from the vet while I was away). He also had a bladder infection which we are treating with amoxicillin. He showed no signs of infection. He seems to already be drinking and peeing less. Appetite is a ravenous as ever. Damn, I love that cat! Beth What wonderful news about the kidneys!!! May you have many more happy times with Tycho. Juls > The blood work came back normal for kidney function.

Kami is 17 and only has slight outward signs of slowdown due to arthritis, but an old fart with CRF, heart murmur, and asthma to boot, she's sure spunky. As long as she gets her special diet, the occasional sub-q or pepcid, and has her PetMate fountain, she does just fine. Oh, and the Vaseline thing for hairballs she things is a real treat now, and she begs every night for her dose. Yay!

She loves the stuff. Ewww. It's got petroleum products in it -- not something I'd want to ingest.
