Aww thanks Katherine, I just hope it's nothing serious too.Diane,
I'm just seeing this report. I'm really praying that Tyler doesn't have kidney disease and that there is a more treatable and short term solution to whatever is causing his weight loss. I know how much you care and worry. Keep us posted on the results of the tests. Big big hugs to you, Auntie Diane. Ruby, Olive and I will be thinking of you.
Aww thanks Karolina Thanks for the PAWsitives vibesHi Diane,
I'm sorry to hear about Tyler. Hopefully all is well and once you get the results you will get some good news and peace of mind.
Nestle, Peanut and I will keep you and Tyler in our thoughts and we're sending PAWsitive vibes
I'll keep you all posted 
That would scar em e too. I know what u mean by the back end being sunk in, thatis exactly what ares looked like b4 his diagnosis.Hi Lori, Tyler used to weigh 23 lbs, then weighed 16 lbs when he was diagnosed.
I just looked at my notes when I weigh him 1-7-22 thru 8-28-22 his weight would be 14.8, then 15.6, then 14.4
I weighed him on 9-12 it was 14.2. Then at the vets on 9-22 he weighed 13.8
That's why I'm worried, he's never weighed that low.
I'll just have to wait for his labs on Tues.
Thank you Lori
Oh visited with my dad today, it was a good day . He knew who I was ,asked about Ashley my daughter. I stayed about 2 hours got there for his lunch, then of course he loves his sweets, I brought him some blueberry pie and cool whip.
You should see all the sweets he has in his room.
Between me, my sister and brother bringing him up stuff it's like a bakery up there
Talk to you soon
I hope so CarlaI'm glad his bloodwork was good. I've had cats that lost weight as they got older. Maybe that is all it is. Sending prayers.
Hi everyone My vet just called me and all his blood work came back fine .
No kidney problems , Thyroid is perfect ,everything else is good.
So he told me to keep track of his weight and if he continues to lose the next thing he would suggest is an abdominal Ultra Sound.
So I guess for now that's what I'll do and when I save up enough money I'll get the dental done. I'm going to pick up a copy of the blood work today and I'll add it to his labs. I'll weigh him once a week
Thank you everyone

And all of you that replied back to me ♥
I'll be entering his labs soon
Hi Kyle no bacteria at all I entered the labs , HCT was fine. Yes it did mention a few small platelet clumps observed ,said this mayy cause falsely lower the platelet count and estimate. I noted it in his labs. The sample of urine says collection method Cystocentesis .
Let me know what the vet says! Hoping this is all just normal/explainable variation in the labs. If Tyler’s kidney values are good I think that is cause to celebrate!
I'll definitely let you know
Hi Bhooma I was thinking about switching him over to weruva foodHi Diane, what a relief that his labwork is okay!
I have only one small feedback. His phophorus at 5.8 is close to the higher end of normal. Tanya's website says that phosphorus of over 6 is too high.
http://felinecrf.org/phosphorus.htm
If he isn't already on a low phos diet, you might want to think about switching him to one.
Diane, you probably already know about Dr. Lisa Pierson's AWESOME interactive cat food database, but in case not:

The only hitch is they put the phosphorous in mg instead of %. Under 200 mg is supposed to be ok for CKD.

Hi Karen, I have to look at the chart again , I'll check out On The Cat Wok also and pick a can up todayDiane, you probably already know about Dr. Lisa Pierson's AWESOME interactive cat food database, but in case not:

Hi Jan I figured since I just got his blood work back and saw his phosphorus was 5.8 I'd better look for a lower phosphorus foodOn the Cat Wok was Tina's all time favorite!!
Diane - I hope you can find the right food, nutrition wise, that pleases Tyler. I also hope you can make some relaxing time for yourself
Just a warning, in case you didn't know, if you do use phosphorus binders - constipation can be a side effect. Serious for some.
Hi Kyle thanks well I bought some weruva low phosphorus and some wellness and soulistic wet cat food to see if he would eat it, no way I tried all three he just walked away, dam cat, will only eat the FF pate which I know is high in phosphorus what do you feed Hen. Forget about raw
In that case you may want to try the Tiki After Dark Pate, Herman LOVED it and he is a Fancy Feast Fan. I can't find my notes on the After Dark Pate's (I had written the %'s on the box as it was a variety pack and I threw the box out whoops) I also wrote on the cans but I am down to the last few individual ones, I will check the %'s on those when I go back to the kitchen (in my office now), but, from what I recall there was one or two varieties in the pack at 14% the rest were 3%. I used a calculator like this: https://www.caticles.com/carb-calculator-for-cat-food/ - but someone more experienced than me should probably confirm for you that this calculator is correct - I'd hate to steer you wrong.Hi Kyle thanks well I bought some weruva low phosphorus and some wellness and soulistic wet cat food to see if he would eat it, no way I tried all three he just walked away, dam cat, will only eat the FF pate which I know is high in phosphorus what do you feed Hen.

Tiki After Dark Pate Variety Pack (fyi they give you the most of the Venisen & Beef Liver so you are best not buying the variety pack) - again - maybe double check the math!
No problem Amy

Do you happen to know the carb content in any of the tiki cat? I also may try it but I have been unable to find the carb content in the pate's they have.
I know going to try Tiki cat after dark pates, I emailed them for the information about the carb % and phosphorus .
maybe Amy was giving the carb content rather than the phos cause she used a carb calculator?
Picky Tyler, straighten up for ur mama!!!! It really is hard when they do this!!!
I emailed Tiki Cat for information, I'll let you know when I hear back from them
That's a very good question. I've tried to switch my boys over to weruva & once we get to full on weruva Panzer turns his nose up to it. Whatever they put in fancy feast that makes them addicted to it they need to stop
Hi Ruth I'm waiting to hear back from Tiki cat about the After Dark Pates@Diane Tyler's Mom I am late seeing this but glad to see good BW, no hyperT or CKD. Hope you can find a lower phos food, cats get so set in their ways.
Okay thank you DianeI emailed Tiki Cat for information, I'll let you know when I hear back from them
Great that's all Panzer & Spook will eat too!They sent me the dry matter basis that's what Bhooma said I need to see
Got a reply from them pates are too high in carbs and that's all Tyler will eat are pates
Don't know what I'll try now
