Well, I just took a look at the PlanetVet site and found that they require a valid veterinarian's license, so I guess it's back to Amazon for me.

#4 of the advice given should be #1 on the list.

No other therapy is as effective in improving a CRF cat's quality of life and longevity as subcutaneous fluids. It relieves nausea, stimulates appetite, etc. (Personally I've found pepcid and other remedies useless by comparison with simply feeding a pet's favorite food and administering fluids regularly.) If you have ever experienced mild to moderate dehydration, you will be familiar with the headache, lethargy, and general malaise of this condition. I'm sure other ill effects of renal insufficiency add to the discomfort of dehydration as well.

My two old kitties were on sub-Q fluids in their old age, and it helped them live to the grand ages of 21 and 22 yrs in comfort. Now my 12 year old small dog and 18 year old cat have been receiving fluids for the past year or two and they too are benefitting.

I hope your Rosie will have a long life of contentment and comfort.

Thanks for that, Biwako. I am not sure how to divide the coq10 capsule though, the smallest dosage I could find is 30 mg in a liquid capsule which has to be given all at once when opened.
I've tried the syringe feeding, but he hates it. He loves to lick the gravy off food, but he does not eat much of actual meat. I've tried different canned foods and he does the same with all of them. I've ordered Natural Balance Chicken and Liver Pate, I was told most cats like it a lot. Hopefully, that'll get him interested in eating more. He loves dry food, I know it's not good for him, but he has to eat and would be even thinner if it weren't for the dry. He gets Orijen or Wellness Core.

Petra,
I am not sure how to divide the coq10 capsule though, the smallest dosage I could find is 30 mg in a liquid capsule which has to be given all at once when opened.

I have the 30 mg capsules in a POWDER form (by NOW), and it is no problem to divide. Remember to give it with food (canned food, chicken broth etc.)-it needs fat to be absorbed. My cat has no problem taking it with chicken or a little bit of olive oil. She gets a third of a capsule each day, at least for now.

I can't remember if I got it in the vitamins section of our grocery store (Hannaford) or at our local health food store. My holistic vet carries it as well, but I had already got it.
My cat also is a 'dry' eater (except for the chicken I make for her). Currently on Orijen (42% protein) --previously Evo, but holistic vet says it might be too high in protein (50%). He also gave her some Chinese herbs--and she does not object to them. She is in early stage of the disease and has not lost her appetite--yet!
As you know, It is important your cat eats--"bad" food is better than no food!

Good luck,
Anne-Marie

You should also check with your vet before doing any of the above.

Pepcid AC should NOT be taken at the same time as other meds, as it can/will affect the absorption of the other meds.

If you give your cat meds in the AM; give Pepcid in the PM (and vice versa).

anne_marie, thanks for the info. I didn't know CoQ10 was available in powder form. I will look for it.
