My story. In January, my 14 y/o sweet boy (cat) was very sick with extreme elevated CKD and DM levels. Lap of Love Hospice came out to euthanize him. I was so upset they recommended one last medical attempt with Rocky Gorge Animal Hospital but to remain realistic. After a 6-day stay and $$$$, my sweet boy has been in remission with normal levels since January and enjoying life. I also medical board
The special food is pricey (Purina diabetic can food, no dry), RenaCare powder twice/day, once weekly of 100ml subq of Lactate Ringers, and Purina Hydracare which he loves. Purina specialty foods works well so won’t change (my vet preference). I get everything from the vet except the Hydracare which is $14.99 for 12 packets. He is doing so well the recovery is nothing short of miraculous. If anyone knows where I can purchase Purina specialty food, please advise! Purina sends me $20 coupons/monthly but not enough as a case of 24 cans of DM wet food is $73. Unfortunately, the other cat has taken a fancy to the DM wet food. Again, anyone knowing who sells discounted specialty food would be much appreciated!! |
| OP here….I medical board my sweet boy with Rocky Gorge when I travel so he gets all his meds and much love.❤️ |
| I can't answer your question, but I'm so happy to hear your boy is doing well. I lost my kitty last year (she was 11) and it still hurts. I love hearing such a positive outcome, and best wishes to your boy for many more healthy years: I know an 18 year old cat now, so you will hopefully have him for a long, long time to come. |
OP here. Thank you for your kind words. I have had cats in my life since infancy, all living past 17 years (strictly indoor). I’m hoping my sweet boy is with us for more years but am so grateful for the whatever time we have. |
