I'm really upset because I've just found out that my vet could have given me really bad advice on the diet of my elderly cat. The cat had a kidney and thyriod diesase and the vet told me she needed a special diet of chicken and white fish but she was not allowed tinned cat food at all. I followed his advice and she seemed to enjoyed the new diet but after a while she got worse and had to be put to sleep (she was on old cat)
Yesterday I went to the vet ( i have another cat) to get some flea stuff and while i was in there I asked the vets nurse if i should give the cat I have now that same special diet (she is old too). i explained that my last cat had been on a special chicken and white fish diet and the nurse said that is the worst possible diet to put a cat with kidney disease on. I was so shocked and I've just checked on the net and it says a high protein diet shouldn't be given to cats with kidney diseases. I'm so upset i thought I was doing the best for her but it seems I made things worse : ( Do any cat owners know anything about this?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Your vet should never had adviced you to put the cat on a high protein diet regardless of the illness i dont know much but i know that balance is the key, i would if i was you seek other vet advice and then if you find that the advice you were given by original vet to be wrong take legal action againsthem as they cannot be allowed to continue to give wrong advice.
I am so very sorry for your lose hun losing a pet is as painful as losing a family memeber after all that is what they become.
