To Treat or not to treat?
In this heartfelt video, I shared the recent loss of my beloved cat, Pardino, after 18 cherished years together and the emotional journey I've faced since, highlighted by recent events involving loss yet again. Through tears and reflections, I discussed the tough decisions we make as pet guardians, especially when it comes to extending our pets' lives through sometimes challenging care processes.
Join me as I recount a recent experience and the difficult situation I faced regarding an injured wild bird and the lack of care I had to deal with. This story touches on the intrinsic value of life, the potential for recovery, and the moral dilemmas we encounter when deciding what's best for our kitty companions going through a health challenge.
Whether you're facing similar decisions or simply seeking to understand the complexities of pet care, I hope this video offers some insight and comfort. Remember, every life has value, and our commitment as guardians can make a profound difference: doing all you can to help your beloved cats through tough times will give you peace of mind no matter the outcome. As a very wise vet recently told me: “There is no room for lack of compassion in veterinary medicine. None.” I agree 100%.

    My cat was diagnosed with pancreatitis just a week ago after being hospitalized for 24hours😢 I went to the urgent care the night before and they did not do blood work on her (and I did not know at the time that this was how it could be diagnosed and that thats what she had so I trusted the vets) so I took her back home and the following morning she was drooling and was lethargic 😥I took her back to another vet this time and thats when they kept her for 24 hours. She was on cerenia and buprenorphine for 4-5 days and now I have to figure out whats the best diet for her. Which is so hard because you need to test all sorts of wet food and dry food and you have to wait and see the 💩 to really get an idea of whether or not your pet is digesting correctly. Its so frustrating and stressful!! It cost me 2000$ (CAD) and im still confused as to what may have caused this. Its overwhelming. Sending love to anyone out there experiencing this.❤️‍🩹🐱

    My cat has pancreatitis. Hasn't eaten in several days. Has been to the vet...hydrated and given cerenia because of severe nausea. I'm at my breaking point. He is 15 and I adore him. Doc suggest maybe a feeding tube. Not going to do that. I will look at your video and hope it helps. New to syringe feeding.

      @PaolaZanibelliDavies Před 8 dny

      @carolecoleman-y6e I'm so sorry to hear your darling is not well, it is indeed horrible to see them feeling so ill. Feeding tubes can be a life-saver in certain cases.. But syringe feeding is more flexible and if you learn to make it work, it can serve you now and in the future at a moment's notice. I have a few videos here about syringe feeding, if you need support, you can email me here: contact@theholisticcatspecialist,com

      Fat is actually not a trigger for pancreatitis in cats. After a flare is over, unprocessed fats are absolutely fine in the appropriate amounts, but definitely avoid highly processed or rancid fats ❤

    Do you have a blend for kidney disease? my cats are not eating. Can we use this recipe for kidney disease?

    • @PaolaZanibelliDavies
      @PaolaZanibelliDavies Před 6 měsíci

      Hi @peterwatson1967, have a look at my video on syringe feeding. This is your very first step to make sure your cats don't get worse fast. You might have to blend high-quality canned food to make it work. Never serve this cold. Yes, there are many natural supplements I use to support kidney function. Some are better suited for the early stages of CKD, some for the more advanced stages. One thing you could look into is the Rehmannia tincture, which is beneficial for most cats needing to increase blood flow through the kidneys, but a full protocol tailored to your cats specifically can be put together once some more information is gathered. Let me know if you want more information about this, so that we can help your kitties feel better for longer. Cats with CKD can be managed well with natural support, and by increasing moisture in their bodies. One other thing I would make sure is to feed them wet food (if they don't feel like eating, syringe feeding is your best friend) and also look into SubQ Fluids: they are easier to obtain for cat parents in some countries, harder in others. Where are you based?
