..an ok better day today. Bebe had to wake me up.. so tired i forogot to put an alarm; his Cerenia was an hr late…. 🥲🥲🥲 i setup some hearing pads for is both (was advised to put one for him. Would encouraged him to go..) and think it helped me sleep hard.. i also admittedly, plum forgot. theres been a lot added to his regimen.. i forgot. 😭😭😭 and thats one of the most important..

he ate ok tho and kept everything down ok so i was happy ~ still has some inappetance tho.. not sure if should give another small dose of Mirataz?… or should give a bit bigger? (@Suzanne & Darcy @Wendy&Neko 💖..) the thing is hes yet to go potty well…… 😕... and hes probably a bit dehydrated.. so all this also doesnt help him eat. 🥺 i was told to wait 3 days and see.. today is 3.. counting down frm when i started the Miralax.. he is passing things, but like small amounts.. each time. and so far everyday it seems almost.. but not a normal amount.

he got fluids yesterday.. only around 50 mL id say.. do we give more today? or just wait til tmw to give like 75 or so?.. idk. 😭

thankful his sugar numbers going ok for time being.. bit more manageable.. but also seeing, going back up tho slowly as we need.. ✨ things being slow for a little bit rn helps..

got his phosphorus binder.. and was told adding a drop or two per day of fish oil (omega 3s) will really help his kidneys too.. (?) start these also?? 😭

ugh. ❤️‍🩹
hoping all hanging in there.. ugh. ✨

So glad to see today is a better day and you’re getting the hang of new routines.
I’ll bet you were woken up with lots of snuggles from your boy 💓💕
I hope you get some answers on the omega 3.

Were you told to give fluids daily, and how much?

I’m sure fluids will help with dehydration and help the constipation.

When did you last give Mirtazapine?

Does he seem nauseous? Does the Cerenia seem to be helping?

You’re doing great taking care of him. No wonder you slept so soundly last night!

We send lots of healing vines and hugs to both of you 💝💓💕🍀🍃🍀🍃🍀🍃

omg… 🫶🏼💖💖💖 i thought we’d lose it.. its been so worrying and a lot to take in.. and he totally did!!! just purring.. 🥰🥰 he was waiting for breakfast. 😂..

it was suggested on the kidney forum he needs 100 mL a day but idk on that.. what ive heard is 75-100 mL every other.. idk. im concerned hes really having trouble going potty.. not great. :/

he seemed to be not wanting to eat just a little so i have some more Mirataz this afternoon.. eating a bit better now.. 🥰😭🫶🏼

i think the Cerenia is definitely helping and will be keeping him on it for the time being for sure.. 💜

omggg tysm for saying 😭😭😭💖🫶🏼…. All this happened so fast.. but infections can be fast.. (?).. and just.. idk. day 6 of antibiotic.. glad we’re a little more adjusted… god what a painful time.

thankful for you, thankful we have here.. 🫶🏼
 
For fish oil I use Nordic Naturals. You can get from Amazon. How much miralax are you giving and once or twice a day? It’s dose to effect.

thats the one we got! 😍 used in the past and bought some more.. got it frm Petco. 😇 (it was suggested to me to add 1-2 drops rn to help his kidneys out..)
 
Just butting in here real quick, previous vet tech here..
For the fluids, as long as Pudge doesnt have any known heart issues ie heart failure, you can absolutely do 75 mL per day for a bit. We usually suggested to do about 100 every other day as needed but sometimes they need a bit more. Extra hydration could absolutely start getting the bowels moving a bit better.

Also, ckd can tend to make things taste funny so that may contribute to not wanting to eat as well. Just a random fun but not so fun fact

💖 omg.. ty for saying.. just about to post ~ we just did fluids, went ok ☺️.. he went last night (!) and it looked much more hydrated and a bigger amount but not the usual.. 🥲
 
yeah unfortunately it sucks. i have a cat with ckd and its not fun for sure. but you are doing all the right things!
💝💖💜 tysm for saying!!! ugh…. he hasnt gone properly since last Tuesday/Wesnesday.. but he is going like everyday, every other.. just not much.. last night looked good and was quite more but still not enough.. 🥲🫶🏼

Some is always better than none. If hes not eating as much he may not have quite as much to expell either so keep that in mind. But hopefully the extra hydration will help him move his bowels a bit better.

💖💖🫶🏼 really hope so!! im wondering on things we eventually might have to go in and have the vet help moves things along.. :( which isnt fun.. but im seeing. he got fluids..
 
Hopefully it doesnt come to that, enemas and manual evacs are never fun. What is the dose of miralax he is getting? and how often?
Miralax works by drawing water into the bowels to soften things up and get them moving, so it can be counter productive, so the daily fluids is definitely a good idea.
