After being cured from Chronic Renal Failure - convalescence and related problems

Discuss about cat convalescence after having being cured from CRF.

Hello, my 19yo cat cured from CRF, but I'll have to continue treatment. And I don't know if after being cured, if she shall continue treatment or not, because usually cats don't get cured of CRF.

She'll soon re-start her treatment: Renalzin + Probiavi probiotics, Renalzin made her Phosphorus get lower and the probiotics made her Urea get lower, and both made the Creatinine get back to normal levels:

- I don't know if it's good to wait for her probiotics to arrive before re-start ?
- I don't know if low urea is dangerous ?
- I don't know if low phosphorus is dangerous ?
- I don't know if there is something in her kidney that didn't cure ?

Renalzin = Lanthanum carbonate (Human Renalzin in France is called Fosrenol, but you must have the same medicine with another name in UK and USA)

Probiavi contains =

Pediococcus Acidophilus
Bifido lactis
Bifido Longdum
Lactobacillus Acidophillus
Streptococcus Thermophilus
S.Cervisiae (yeast)
FOS (Fructo oligo sacharide)
And a little dextrose (food grade)

And there is also another problem, I pass my time trying to contact a researcher that can tell me if it is possible that one of her probiotics bacteria has mutated into one that can cure cat kidney cancer or contains a new virus that can cure CRF ? And I also think that if such bacteria or virus exists, it comes from Canada and it travels in USA through Psyllium Husk that are prebiotics, that means food for bacteria. But I still did not have a positive answer from any researcher. It is important because cure for CRF, or at least mega toxin eater that lowers Urea, cannot be into a volatil compound that has not been identified and whose presence depends on luck.

If there isn't such mutated bacteria nor virus, it's only the treatment that worked. Some humans also can cure from it.

I also have no vet knowledge and am a simple pet owner.

I think I've understood a big thing, it's not because CRF BUN levels seems normal and lower on the **** of paper, that they were normal, they were just lower NOT BACK TO NORMAL.

It only prooves that probiotics were limitating Uremia and Urea by desintoxication or whatever, as if something was really acting on BUN without reversing process.

First time when she was better, blood results gave ACTING, not STATE.

**** I had to change probiotics. **** the post office is ****. **** I was stolen. And **** probiotics sellers were ****. And **** I couldn't continue the same treatment !

And **** that even if her Urea isn't high yet, it is her Urea that is giving nausea to her and is making her not eating.

And not **** that phosphate binder that I thought it was ****, really put the phosphorus into **** ! But **** it can also cause nauseas.

So ****, actual probiotics aren't working on her karma, or whatever !

And **** about this relativity Blood Levels !!!!!!!!!!!!

I close this long thinking with that thought:
Einstein was right about blood BUN levels, lowering them back to normal is relativity theory, it's not because treatment is working, and results are normal, that they ARE normal. What you see is not what it is. Blood Levels BUN aren't WYSIWYG.

It's a pity I still don't have a job, but in the other hand I have more time to be with my cat.

I'm not liking this mircrocrystalline cellulose inside Mercola. I'm also thinking about : iFlora Healthy Pets. But I can't gess if they don't have this hidden ingredient to:

I read that the cat doesn't eat while CRF because uremia makes acid stomach and nausea. Perhaps Sedona iFlora would have been better as probiotics, since they're for stomach ?

And I think to go on with K/D wet. I'll have to see if I buy it with vet, online, or if family will offer me.

This acid stomach problem is probably the reason why cats don't eat.

I continue to wonder if I should go on with K/D canned ?

The answer is more "yes" than "no".

I'm worried about microcrystalline cellulose inside complete pet probiotics by Mercola.
I can't now, but later I'll buy Azodyl.

About Mercola Complete Probiotics for Pets, posology/dosage for cats is Wrong.

NEVER GIVE THEIR SPOON WICH IS 200MG !!!

Posology/dosage for cats is 0.2 to 0.8mg ! (In that I agree with Probiavi)
************************************************************************************
A propos de la posologie des probiotiques pour chats: Mercola Complete Probiotics for Pets, leur posologie est Erronée.

NE DONNEZ JAMAIS LEUR CUILLERE QUI FAIT 200MG !!!

La posologie pour les chats est de 0.2 à 0.8mg ! (Sur ce fait je suis d'accord avec Probiavi)
