- I do now buy all products, drugs, food, flea control online and thats how I realised the markup vets make - I did a bit of phoning around and they seem to consistently have 50%+ mark-up. I would feel MUCH more confident if I knew it wasnt in their interests to promote the product. I cant argue against statistics and reports, I can only go with my gut which is saying NOOOO! |

So - go with the Fortekor and a 'good' diet? Min ate less and less diet food and more and more 'just eat something for goodness sake' food, like chicken etc. Her final blood tests 2 weeks before she died were in normal range. |

Hi Eden, did the vet say why they wont discuss phos binders instead? I remember only too well how frustrating it is when bets tell you that they MUST eat the hills kd and nothing else, so many times i left the vets feeling frustrated and upset by them. In the end i called round other vets and enquired as to their knowledge of CRF and found one that I could work with for Winstons benefit. I assume, as you are fairly well clued up on CRF, that you have visited this site http://www.felinecrf.org/ It was a bit of a bible for me tbh and Helen does try to respond asap if you wanted to contact her for advice. I wish you and your cats all the very best, hugs and cuddles to all of you. xxxx |

Hi Elaine Thanks, yes I have read up on the site mentioned. Vet just kept repeating the food was the thing, binders not relevant, hadnt even thought to check phos result. I wonder if they are not used to people questioning so much...? Thanks for support. |

Just an idea but is it possible for you to call round all local vets with some knowledge on CRF and asking for a second opinion with regards to diet and the possible use of phos binders? Do you have a copy of the blood test results? |

Thanks for link Elaine. No I dont have the full blood test results as they would only verbally give me urea and creatinine. I did contact some vets today - havent got that many locally to contact. One large practice emailed me that they have a 'South African Internal Medicine specialist'? Might be a possibility. You would assume all vets are specialists in internal medicine though wouldnt you? Have had so many late nights on the internet - need an early night tonight and will get back to it at the weekend. |
