KD and abdominal tumor

mingdurga Feb 06, 2006 11:57 AM

Have a 16 yr. female (born with very small kidneys) that was diagnosed with kidney disease about 10 months ago. Also has an abdominal tumor.
Currently she gets 100ml. saline, injected under the skin, daily, plus 10mg. prednisone tabs. I've included Raw Advantage for stressed cats in her diet, which she loves.
She eats canned food with the Raw diet; Natural life, natural balance, nature's variety, and wysong chicken with gravy.
She's doing OK so far. Appetite good, body functions OK.

Does anything else need to be added?

Thanks,

Mike

Why is she getting prednisone?

Prednisone needed to keep the tumor from enlarging, possibly reducing it in size. Has to stay on this drug for life.
