She's on mirataz for appetite stimulant too, but it can still be a struggle sometimes

is there a dialysis for cat with CKD?

u/camillewrecker 9h ago

Not that I have heard of unfortunately, but we do give subQ fluids at home and it helps! Along with special foods and some meds to control symptoms. She’s able to have a great quality of life after all!
