\n Improvement for an old cat!\n
\n \n\n \n
\n I have a 24 year old Manx mix that started to have higher renal counts for the last three or four months. His Vet recommended trying Azodyl and he's been on\nit now for just a bit more than two months. Amazingly, his last blood test showed an improvement since starting Azodyl. I realize that he's very old but anything that I can do to increase the quality of his life is a plus for both of us! Hide the pill in a couple of pill pockets and he gobbles them down!\n

\n Maintaining my cat's health\n
\n \n\n \n
\n My vet diagnosed my cat with kidney failure about a year ago. He told me that there was no cure, and that she would eventually die from the disease as most cats do (kidney failure is the leading cause of cat death).\n\nI asked him if there was anything we could do for her, and he told me that he wanted to put her on Azodyl. He said that she would need to be on it for the rest of her life, but it should stall the long-term effects of kidney failure.\n\nI began giving my cat the pill - which is HUGE - in a Pill Pocket three times a day (because she weighs over 10 lbs.). After a while, she refused to take the Pill Pocket because she used to gag, so I had to open up the pill and pour it into a tablespoon of food. I know that this is not recommended, but either she took it this way or she didn't take it at all.\n\nTo my surprise, the Azodyl did wonders for her and her kidneys! The blood tests have showed that - in a year - her kidney disease has stabilized. It's even improved in a few areas. She's down to two pills a day because the third was giving her an upset stomach, but it's still working wonders.\n\nIt's expensive - $42.50 a month for me - but it's worth it. Also, I've noticed that my vet can't seem to keep it in stock these days. I have to call ahead to make sure they have a bottle ready.\n\nKidney failure is a slow killer, however, Azodyl has seemed to bring this disease to a screeching halt. She will not be cured of this, and perhaps one day the pills will not have the same effect because the disease has advanced, but so far it's given me another full year with my 18 year old cat. Hopefully I'll continue to have my healthy girl for a very long time.\n\nI highly recommend this product.\n

\n I have been trying to get my CRF cat's BUN levels down unsuccessfully for months. She gets fish oil, CoQ10 and vitamin E (in a small cat dose). She is on a low sodium and low phosphorus diet and receives a potassium and b supplement (also cat sized) she only showed marginal improvement until I started her on Azodyl. She literally runs around like a young, healthy cat again and her most recent blood tests showed her BUN within normal range (still high normal, but not skyrocket high abnormal like it was).. She is not vomiting and her appetite is excellent. Obviously she still has CRF but my goal was to help her feel better.\n\nShe is a small 6 lb cat so I mix 1 capsule morning and evening with 1 tsp of chilled Gerber Chicken baby food (no salt, just chicken and chicken broth) and feed it immediately on an empty stomach. She licks the spoon clean. :-) She is too tiny to administer the large pill too (it was gagging her even when coated with butter) so this was my only option.\n\nI have read the study that shows this does not work when opened and mixed with food, but I believe it is working for my cat. It may be because the baby food is a small amount and is relatively fatty and is served immediately, while cold.\n

\n Bengal on Azodyl\n
\n \n\n \n
\n Fall 2007 Nala was diagnosed with an infection in her pancrease that in turn, poisioned her kidenys. Reasulting in acute renal falure. Not from the bad pet food at the time as she was never fed any of it.\n\nShe seemed to recover and was doing quiet well untill her late summer checkup 2 years ago when her kidney vaules started to rise.\n\nMy vet put her on high blood pressure meds and Rubenal, another Vetoquel product and was doing extremely well. Well now the US FDA has stepped in and blocked the sle of Rubenal until is passes their tests.\n\nNala is now of Azodyl. Unlike Rubenol, that heals the scaring and reverses some of the damage to the kindeys, Azodyl work by removing the toxins from her blood and rerouting them to the bowels where the never pass through the kidneys releaving them of that burden.\n\nNala's lates blood work had come back much better. The BUN is still a bit beyound the high range of normal, but all other blood factors are well within norms.\n\nAzodyl has helped prolong her life a much as possible. Time will tell just how much.\n\nFor now she is very happy, healthy, hungry, thirsty, and beatsth snott out of her twin brother. :) Thats all a dad can hope for.\n

\n NOT EXACTLY\n
\n \n\n \n
\n I had read such great things about Azodly especially combined with some other products marketed at this site. Well we got off to a good start three weeks ago. Today 5/19/11 I put down my beloved Seal Point, Madame Fifi (13 years old). She had begun to enter renal failure and I start using these products when here BUN was 95. I guess I was expecting the great results/miracle that everyone here writes about. WELL NOT EXACTLY.\n\nAt first she reacted well and started eating again, Baby food (gerbers srained Chicken or Turkey). Powders were easy enough to mix in. She was also getting electolyte infusions every day or 3ever other day. She started getting out of bed again and trotting up the stairs again to my work space. I was like, 'wow this stuff really does work'.\n\nTwo night ago, she let me know that she wanted to stop living life on this plain of existance. First she stopped eating so I had to feed her via a baby syringe (I had been syringing for over a week as she would only eat a bite or two of her food) Last night she did not even want that. She stopped coming up stairs two days ago and laying by me or in the sunlight next to the sliders. She just started laying in bed again after only 2 1/12 weeks on these meds. Two night ago, she only half heartedly ate two of her evening Purina Whiska treats. She normally sucked these things down. I new the ened was near.\n\nLast night she would not touch them and stopped purring, while I was still pumping this mediciation into her via the food in the baby syringe. No purring, not eating, no treats, no trotting up the stairs...NOT GOOD. This morning I tried again. She looked at the treats and just turned her head, with no interest. No purring even aftering petting her around the neck for 10 minues,,,her favorie area. It was time and she was letting me know.\n\nSo THIS STUFF IS NOT THE MIRICALE CURE EVERONE WRITES ABOUT. What it did allow me to do was to see her as she used to be one last time for 2 1/2 weeks; a very happy petite Himi. For that I am greatful as it did prolong her life with no pain or suffering for two weeks and I got to remember what she used to be like, which will be a wonderful memory to cherish forever.\n\nDid this stuff work for me as a long range solution....NO NOT EXACTLY. Today I had to put her down. She had lost another full pound in 3 weeks. Would I recommend it,.,,,,NO ONLY IF YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT CANNOT LET GO OF YOUR ANIMAL WHEN IT IS TIME...AND THAT IS PURELY SELFISH.\n\nToday at 3.5 lbs, i had to let this percious little darling go. Am I happy I got to see her as she used to be...of course....and that her suffering was minimal, yes also very important. but his stuff is not the miracle cure and i would NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. IT IS JUST FALSE HOPE....Vodoo...hocus pocus\n

\n Saved her life\n
\n \n\n \n
\n My 18 year old cat, best friend, lost a lot of weight and lab tests showed a creatinine of just over 10. Some of the other vets in the office talked to me about putting her down, things looked so bad, but my vet put her on Azodyl and sub Q fluids and 1 year later she has gained weight, eats very well and has regained so much energy that it's like she is 10 years younger! (And all those prayers helped, too).\n

\n My cat was diagnosed with kidney disease when she was 12. Based on the experience of family members who have had pets with kidney disease, I expected my cat to not survive for very long.\nMy cat is now 16.5 yrs and hanging in there. I credit Azodyl with the miracle of her still being alive!\n
