Shadow
27 January 2015
Back from our vet visit with some sad news. Shadow has been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure. Not fair that this poor girl was lost and wandering to the point of starvation and now her kidneys are failing her.
We have to switch her diet to a renal diet, which is going to be very costly. Royal Canin Renal pouches are $2.10 per pouch ($25.20 per 12 box) and we will reduce her to 2 pouches (she’s been on 2.5 pouches of kitten food/Jelimeat to help gain weight).
I will be contacting Royal Canin today to see how they can help. The good news was she has put on 300grams since her weigh in before Christmas. As for her limp, he believes that is from no muscle. So the key is just to keep feeding her and over time muscle will develop.
We appreciate all the donations we get to help cover the cost of our rescue and strays we look after, so please if you are able to help, please make a donation on my Give a Little page. and you are also welcome to pop into my vet Bayvet and donate to my account Torbay Strays. Every dollar counts and I appreciate all your donations.
