Joe - Help for My Cat?

Hi Joe,

Our cat was poisoned a little over a year ago by the medication Metacam. This drug is not to be given to cats (which we learned later). Anyway, about a week after taking the last dose, she began vomitting. We finally found a vet who discovered the poisoning and said that her kidneys were failing. After four days and nights in the hospital, her CREA was about 5.2 - normal high is 2.4. We gave her lactated fluids every three days for three months. Her CREA had dropped to 2.4. The vet was stunned. We began giving her fluids every six days for six months. Her CREA remained at 2.4. She has CRF - renal disease.

A couple of weeks ago, she began to cough. It sounded like she was trying to cough up a hairball, but nothing came out. Her regular vet was on vacation that week. Since the poisoning, we only trust one vet. The coughing got worse so we had to bring her in. The vet thought that she might have asthma, but made no diagnosis. She did test her blood and her CREA had raised to 3.2.

When her vet returned, she looked at the x-ray and determined that she had asthma. We were told to give her an antibiotic three days in a row and then every other day for the remainder of the two weeks. We also give her turbutaline - a bronchiodialator - seven days in a row and then every other day. We refuse to give her steroids. We also give an antihistamine called Cyproheptadine.

We had her re-check yesterday. The vet said that her lungs had cleared out significantly. She still saw some asthma, but it is much improved. She suggested that we give her the meds only if she has an attack.

we had her blood drawn to check out her kidney values. We have not received the results yet.

The other re-occuring issues are a limp. It has come and gone three times over the past 15 months. They took an x-ray once and determined that there was a tiny bit of arthritis, but nothing of concern. She also picks at the hair on her tummy. I tried Bach Crabapple flower essence, but this did not stop her.

So you have any advice?

Thanks!
Gary

I am sorry but I have no experience with treating animals with Homeopathy.
