Good news on the rear end of the cat. It seems like the switch back to his old food cleared up the runs. Both the new foods had xantham gum in them, not sure if he is just very sensitive to it. The old food has guar gum, but it affects him less. On to the next game of try foods again. Raw is at the top of the list since it does not have gums in it. I just worry a bit about price with him going through almost a pound a day of wet food.

The clavomax seems to make him nauseous, but no vomiting. He just gets kind of mopey for an hour or so after his dose even with food.

Looks like the thief got into a bit of candy at some point. I'm a bit baffled since none was left out that I saw and his pm numbers were good. He threw up this morning and up came some foil wrapper, so he got into it again this year:facepalm:. With his +6 I'm guessing it was more recent then last night.

Are you doing (or have you considered) SQ fluids?
It is on the table if things get worse with the kidneys. With his current numbers, Tanya's ckd site doesn't generally recommend them. Also, as Wendy mentioned it could be contradictory if his heart is enlarged.

I seem to remember from what Marje has posted before that kidney infections take a much longer course of ABs.
She did, Tanya's site also mentoned the same thing. Ihave been trying to find info about steroids "wrecking" the kidneys and the only stuff I can find refers to anabolic steroids which is a whole different thing then anti-inflam steroids.

I have a few IM vets I've found from searching, now to try to see what kind of info I can find. One is already ruled out do to a ton of horrible reviews.
 
Kitties eat less raw by volume. Neko went through 4 oz of raw, vs. a 5.5 oz can per day. Once you get whatever is bugging his GI system sorted out, and he is better processing the nutrients in his food, he may not be as ravenous.

Good luck with the IM vet hunt. I had good luck with one who was a relatively recent graduate, so had heard of acromegaly, and also trained in Europe where the RVC has done some educating.
 
The Captain has a sweet tooth :cat:. Surprised he wasn't punished with a red for being a bad kitty.

I think it was just a wrapper. I didn't have any candy in that kind of wrapper and like you mentioned his numbers are almost normal. My boy will eat about anything which is good and bad.
