--exhibit some particularly concerning symptoms, we may have to consider confinement. I truly do not want to go that route. She's so easily stressed, so I hope her symptoms clear up in a couple of days.

I'm pretty devastated. I've been spending the last two days educating myself all about different cat food supplements for renal care and am learning that a lot of what she needs is actually either very expensive or unavailable in the Philippines. Still, I will try to provide for her what I can.

Big hugs. We lost our 20 year old to stage 4 last year and spent 5 years managing symptoms form stage 2 to 4, and slowing progression. It's not a road I would wish for anyone but it is manageable.

Let me know by DM if you want DIY things to try.

Thank you. I thankfully have a very engaged vet for her, so I'm happy to be taking instructions from her. I'm comforted that she seems to not be in pain yet, at least.

Excellent, a good vet is worth their weight in gold.

Most kidney disease doesn't cause pain afaik.
