The fact that it progressed this quickly really freaked me out. I was doing everything. I gave her probiotics. Gave her a wet food renal diet and it still progressed. I want to make sure she will be ok and will hopefully not progress to the next stage in this short of amount of time again. I have her in the hospital to see if IV fluids can help her drop down a little bit or if we just have to live with a new normal. Any advice or expectations or words of encouragement would be fantastic right now.

So I have a 17 year old cat who was diagnosed with stage 1 CKD about 3 months ago. She adapted to the renal food quite well by about a week and I also gave her pro biotics. This all seemed to restore a lot of youthful energy she had. However now I'm facing a new problem. She always seems to want the renal food now. Shes currently on the heavy side of healthy (11.7 lbs) and I don't really want to give her all that she wants. But I'm also concerned about potential hyperthyroidism. The thing is though she doesn't seem to be losing energy. I have an appointment with my vet in a week and a half for a solensia injection and I might get a blood test along with that to rule out hyperthyroidism. I guess in the meantime should I increase what I am giving to my cat? I'm currently giving her 1 of the larger wet food cans of Purina chicken puree per day. Half a can in the morning. Half in the evening.
