In the blog posted October 21, 2010 entitled "Blood Signs and Starting Treatment - Part I", I listed the medications and supplements that I give Simone on a daily basis. She gets a slightly different treatment in the evening compared to the morning, but the video above shows the basic procedure that I use. If you're treating your cat for CRF, I have found that this procedure works wonderfully. I have used it for 18 months now, Simone is used to it, and she doesn't really mind getting syringe fed this stuff. I thinks she really likes the Hill's Prescription Diet a/d food, so that makes the medicated-baby-food mixture palatable to her. I know this protocol looks pretty involved, but it doesn't take long to develop a routine. Preparing and administering the mixture takes maybe 10 minutes after some practice. If your cat has its own special needs for medications and supplements, I definitely recommend this procedure to assure that your cat gets the required nutrients and medicines.
By the way, in consideration of the last few posts on retching, if anyone has any suggestions for vomit control, please post them as comments. Thanks.
That's all for today. Next week I'll take a break from the subject of CRF and chat about Simone's youthful kitty days. Purr on cat lovers!!!!!
