constipated cat with kidney disease

[toriree]

One of my older cats has kidney disease and is on a special diet (Hill's K/D canned and dry) along with Epakitin and Rubenal (Azodyl if I could get it down her-but can't). I keep water for her in several places and try to keep it fresh. The past 2 or 3  days I have not noticed any fecal activity. She urinates maybe 3 or 4 times a day that I know of. I have to use NutriCal on her food to get her to eat it, but my vet said it was ok. I am wondering if there is something else I can do about her constipation.

Oh it is one of the hardest things we can do when we love our babies so much, but there does come the time when its their best interests at heart that we do say goodbye.
She did have a loving caring home with you and you did your best for her right up to the end thats all anyone can do.
Yes you had 6 yrs of unconditional love she came to you when you needed that and she did too....she will always be there in your heart.
I do hope your heart will eventually have room for another little one that needs you.
Its hard to think of right now when your grieving, but having someone to love in your life as you know gives back  benefits many times over.

Thank you for your comfort. It really means a lot. I know she tried her best and I know she knows I tried my best. She just got so terribly weak and Tuesday afternoon, finally I knew it was time to let her go. We went to the vet and she found her peace and comfort.
I had forgotten hard horrible it is to have a pet put down. It had been several years.
But when  she needed a home, I guess I needed her  and it was meant to be. At least I know 6 six years
were mutual love.

Oh I am so ry for the loss of your dear little girl. With renal failure this is common.
You did all you could for the little darling, her system was just shutting down its often the case with renal failure they will just no longer want to eat....you tried, she knows she was loved. take comfort in the fact that she was comfortable in her own bed and not in pain.
RIP Mochie

I'm very very sorry for your lost.  I've just seen one gone.  Now another.......  Is that anything I can help?  I hope I can share the pain with your lost.

Hugs, Hugs......

She is gone.

Thanks! i will do that. Right now, getting her to eat anything is my number one priority. The medicine from the vet seemed to help her tummy yesterday evening. I found her curled up in her cat bed later in a more normal comfortable position. I hadn't seen her do that for several days!!
Will it be safe to use the medicine AND the Slippery Elm Bark at the same time?
She is still hanging in there though. Every morning I expect to find her dead somewhere.
