Melbcat’s kidney disease is progressing, probably because she can’t eat the medical food, doesn’t want to eat the home cooked medical diet or food with phosphate binder in it, and doesn’t like the low phosphate food I found. She only wants high protein food that are bad for her kidneys and my options for her intolerances are limited.
But there’s hope. I’m going to get her phosphate binders compounded so either they taste better or it’s a format I can directly dose her with. And there’s a different flavour of low phosphate non-chicken food she likes!!!
Expensive but this is why I pinch pennies so hard. I’m going to buy her this food
you are such a good cat mum 😭
I gotta take care of baby
