Hello,
My Kitty was diagnosed on February 22 2021. He used to eat Purina dry food, he started on vetsulin and He was eating KD hills for a month but stopped and I started giving him tiki cat chicken instead. A little bit before the tiki cat, he got mouth ulcers and was eating less so I took him to a different vet to get another opinion and they checked his blood, did urinalysis, and fluids AND an antibiotic for the ulcers. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease there. I give him sub q fluids every other day now for hydration. It’s helped a lot! He’s more energetic and motivated to eat.. also he’s no longer constipated. His glucose levels were 110 them 108 the next day after at the vet. Also his neuropathy weakness in the legs stopped ever since I started him on tiki cat. Also the urinalysis came back as no glucose being passed in the urine. They told me to just keep giving him 4 units a day of vetsulin but I don’t see why he needs such a high dosage or anymore insulin at all??? Could my Kitty be in remission?
