    This page will give you an overview of the treatment of CRF/Diabetic kitties and includes the links to the CRF Support List and the CRF Food pages. http://www.indulgedfurries.com/petdiabe ... ailure.htm


    Another great site for explaining CRF (thank you Steph & Cuddles!): http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_ch ... ilure.html

    Of course, there’s the main CRF caregivers site at: http://www.felinecrf.com/

    And for comprehensive CRF information or for all you CRF kitties across the pond (or meow with a British accent), go to this link as well or just go anyway - it's the best site for CRF info:
    http://www.felinecrf.org

    Want to find fluids, needles, etc. at the best prices? Go to this great CRF Supplies page at: http://members.verizon.net/~vze2r6qt/supplies/


    Thanks to Steph & Cuddles, here’s a fantastic site for learning to administer SQ fluids! http://www.weirdstuffwemake.com/weird/s ... juice.html

    And here are some other SQ fluid links given to us by Chris & Cleo:

    Hi -

    I just wanted to say thanks for faithfully posting this information over and over. I'm pretty sure it was one of your posts that I saw when my Emma was first diagnosed with CRF, and then diabetes shortly thereafter a few years ago. It's so great to have such dedicated people willing to help out the newcomers who are often overwhelmed with everything being thrown at them. So thank you!

    You're very welcome and I'm so glad it helps. Having gone through CRF numerous times, I know that any and all information is crucial to controlling the disease for as long as possible.

    Hugs to Emma!

    Melissa
