She's 17 now and was diagnosed with ckd and bowen's in situ carcinoma last year. She deteriorated quite quickly with the ckd but once on the meds (benazapet) she seemed to stabilise and coupled with the renal food seemed to reach an equilibrium where her weight was stable and she seemed well. Her skin cancer doesn't seem to bother her but the lesions are getting bigger.
Because of high urea levels she now gets ranitidine syringed down her throat every day, which she hates, but it helps stops her from vomiting bile.
My worry is that she's feeling unwell and we don't know because she's such a sweet, mild-mannered thing. She's started vomiting more often and this usually has a huge blade of grass in it. She has stopped going outside much and no longer toilets outside. Every few days she pees outside the litter tray and I'm not sure if she just has bad aim or can't quite make it in time. She constantly meows unless she's asleep or on a lap and is just incredibly needy. Her claws have gitten really long and sharp and they keep getting stuck in blankets and clothes. Is thus because they don't get worn down outside?
However she still grooms herself and is eating her food normally.
Sorry for the long post. The vet hasn't given ger a blood test in awhile as there is nothing more we can do for her medication-wise. They say it's just a waiting game so no point traumatising her with needles etc.
How do I know if it's time for her to he pts? I would hate to keep her going when she's unwell or in pain. Anyone else had a ckd cat?
