I've given up trying to figure out why Ruby's doing so well and am learning to enjoy it. I've been home more than usual in the last few days and she's been real snuggly and purry. It's so cold outside that the kitties have squished themselves into the heated cat bed. :cat::cat:

Not to further hijack, but Savage raw rabbit is on Susan Thixton’s list and they send a good amount of sample pouches to the stores that carry them. You could try it out risk-free. Not sure on the phos amount, but IIRC rabbit is lower than red meat, but higher than poultry?

I love Susan Thixton's list! There are some great food companies out there. Sadly though, very few commercially prepared raw foods are good for CKD kitties because they usually grind bone into them like Savage Cat. It's a great thing to feed if you have a young, growing cat. You've actually reminded me, Joey, that Lotus makes raw food for cats with egg shell calcium instead of bone, and they have a venison recipe, but it would cost me nearly $300 a month to feed both cats so it's not an option for me. I don't remember if Lotus is on Susan's list anymore. It once was.
 
Hi Katherine, Ruby you are becoming a mystery lately :p but we will take those lively greens :cat: It is freezing out, they squished themselves into the heated cat beds :p how cute!
I bet they are enjoying having you home the last few days
Stay warm or squeeze yourself in the cat bed with them :p
Have a nice night Katherine :bighug::bighug::bighug::cat:

Hi Diane! I don't think there's any room for me!

Oh right, forgot about the bone. $300 a month?!! Make your own with egg shells!
Lotus doesn’t appear to be on her 2021 list :(
 
Haven't seen Ruby for a few days so checking in! I see tests in the sheet so that's at least good.

Do you think perhaps the Adequan had anything to do with stabilizing numbers? Like perhaps the arthritis was bothering her enough to affect BG here and there?

Another random thought...what happens when there's nothing for pred to "work on"? I expect it would still affect the liver to make BG wonky but wondering if maybe that's part of it.

So many mysteries lol

I see the oncology visit, curious about that too!
