Jamie, you NEED to find out WHAT is causing Gabby's CRF. IT it is just a wearing our of her kidneys (happens to a lot of cats after age 10) then see what her numbers are. IF her BUN is high - like 70 THEN she NEEDS a low protein low phospherous food to baby them along.



My Missy is in the same shape. Her BUN is 70 but her creatnine is only 2.3. MY vet is angry at me so won't speak to me and I don't know what is going on with her. She is also anemic.



HERE is a link to dry and canned foods cats with CRF can have (meat is bad as it is too high in protein).

Here is wishing us BOTH luck - Missy just won't eat!
