Q10 kissan munuaisten vajaatoiminta

Thank you all for your comments! I seem not to have gotten notices about a few of them in the middle, but received B. Khan's message in an email today.

The cat I first wrote about here died in Dec. or 2012 at 19 years of age, after 3 years or so of serious kidney disease. In her case, Azodyl seemed to have no effect on her vomiting, so in the end, I relied entirely Ubiquinol and a home-made diet based on "Dr. Becker's Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats" (early edition).

Someone named Jackie, who was having trouble getting messages posted, emailed me privately with a lot of good advice, particularly about the use of Ubiquinol.

The veterinarian was greatly surprised at how long my girl remained in good condition, saying more than once, that she was "off the charts." I think she actually lived 2 years or more beyond the time when he had expected her to be on her last legs, and she was still eating and seemed comfortable and reasonably active almost up to her last day.

Now I have a 22-year-old male cat with CRF, who is doing amazingly well on Azodyl and Ubiquinol. Are you familiar with the squirt cans of Ubiquinol being sold by Dr. Mercola, whose newsletter I get? I used to cut capsules, but now find it a lot easier just to give a squirt or two from the container and mix it into the food. The container keeps oxygen out and so helps preserve the Ubiquinol. Each "pump" provides 10mg of Ubiquinol, according to the label, and I give one or two "pumps" with each dish of food, which probably works out to 40~50mg per day.

So far, it seems to be working very well. The cat is maintaining his weight of around 6.5 lbs. and apart from some arthritis and senile dementia, he appears to be happy--sitting on my lap while I watch TV and purring, enjoying a daily turn or two around the garden, and eating very well. He even trots a bit at times, and considering his great age, I think that's pretty good.

He often rejects the Azodyl if it is not mixed in with a bit of fishy cat food, but I will see what I can do to minimize his exposure to fish. I also appreciate the information on liver enzymes and the thyroid.

At 22 years and 2 months, every day is a gift. The only sad thing is that, in spite of his dementia, he still remembers and terribly misses the other cat, who was his great friend. He starts up from bed in the middle of the night to call and look for her, showing disappointment when she doesn't come. In the daytime, over and over, he demands access to the closet where they used to sleep together, where he sniffs the bedding and looks up to see if she might be on a higher shelf. I know he is probably seeing her in his mind in all these places, and it is heart-rending to see his grief when she doesn't materialize. In his younger days, he was the most intelligent cat I have ever had, and I'm glad he has retained some of his memory; but it's kind of too bad that senility did not blunt his sense of loss.

Ja tietenkin fosforin sitojaa Ipakitine kannattaa käyttää.

Ja annan siis karnosiinia 1/8 x 400mg, mutta siinä ei saa olla vitamiineja mukana (eli ei Tolosen), koska kissoille voi tulla liika-annostus ja myrkytys.

Huom! Lisäravinteista kissa saattaa kuivua, joten kannattaa tarkkailla tilannetta ja juottaa nestettä vaikka ruiskulla.

Ulkomailla myös ruokasoodaa käytetään siksi, että se vähentää kehon happamuutta. Itse laitan puoli teelusikkaa vesikuppiin (joka on n. 6dl) ja kissat juovat vettä ihan mielellään. Ruokasoodan kanssa kannattaa olla varovainen, koska happamuus/emäksisyys saattaa vaikuttaa virtsakivi-potilailla huonolla tavalla. Jotkut virtsakivet syntyy emäksisessä ja jotkut happamessa ympäristössä. Omalla kissallani ei titetääkseni ole taipumusta virtsakiviin. Ruokasoodan on tutkittu pitävän yllä lihasmassaa, ehkä siksi, että se hapettaa kehoa ja nesteet pysyy ehkä paremmin kehossa. En tiedä.

Kiitos kun jaoit tietosi. Itselläni on ollut yksi 19 vuotias CKF kissa. Mietin että voisiko tota ubiQ:ta syöttää nuorille ja terveille ennaltaehkäisyksi?

Voi olla että ubikinoni lisää verenpainetta huomattavasti, joten olisin sen kanssa varovainen, etenkin, jos kissalla on verenpainetta muutenkin. Se kai parantaa sydämen toimintaa, joten munuaisille verenpaine on taas tosi huono asia, ja voi aiheuttaa lisätuhoa.
