Helllo,
I brought Djoko to the vet yesterday as his nostril was bleeding (he has had a discharge from the same nostril for a while and vet said it was fine unless it would prevent him from eating). Vet did urine test and confirmed he has CDK (likely stage 3 but will confirm with results).
Many things require attention:
-Loss of appetite: He vomited on May 28, 2020 and since then, his appetite has not come back to normal although he is on 1/4 of 16 mg cerenia every day. He is also lethargic. I have put fortiflora and parmesan on his food and not a great success. He is not interested by the food he vomited so I opened other cans but he eats couple bites and most likely drinks the juice out of it. He meows for food but dot noes eat. I am thinking about getting apetite stimulant although this is a patcher.
-New diet for CKD
I read that it needs to be low on phosphorus. He was already eating weruva chicken paw licken. However, it also needs to be lowwer in proteins. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any food to manage both diseases.
-uncontrolled diabetes
I am wondering if his uncontrolled diabetes may have contributed to CKD. I tested him at +6.5 and he is at 630 (35 world value) which is not normal for a mid cycle test. Something is up but cannot put my finger on it.
-Ketones - negative last night.
-Amoxicillin: Vet thinks he may have an infection which provokes discharges and nose bleeding so prescribed this antibiotic for 5 days, 2 pills a day. Could it affect his BG level?
-Vet mentioned that heart rate was low but nothing too concerning.
-Vet recommended to see an internalist. I am willing to go but is it worth it at this point? Will she be able to help?
- tips for regulating his BG levels?
Thank you very much.
Marjo and Djoko.
