Palliative Care Update: A Medication Request | BilliSpeaks
We’re over 4 months since Billi progressed to stage 4 (end stage) kidney failure, which is beyond the median life expectancy of cats in this stage. I’m thrilled Billi has been stable overall for these last months, but I knew eventually that would change. It certainly didn’t make it easier to see her appetite that poor though!
I’m hoping with the adjustments she’ll continue to be stable for a bit longer, but ultimately I’m looking out for her quality of life (much more important than just extension of life)! I’m so lucky Billi works with me for her care, it makes this palliative stage much easier on both of us 🥰

I work as a zoo relief veterinarian (think travel nurse, but for veterinarians...

These days are 100% made up but I’m still here for it 😂 Deciding to travel with Billi right now was something I absolutely agonized over. Rest assured I considered all options, and at the end of the day she’s my priority and FAR outweighs my job. I thought long and hard about how far Billi could reasonably travel, and have made sure she was stable before we left. Ultimately Billi could decline ...

Palliative Care Update: A Full Minute Of Billi Grooming | BilliSpeaks

Fur quality and appearance usually declines with illness and age for a few reasons: 1. They aren’t grooming as much. It takes energy they may not have! 2. As mammals age, the elasticity of the hair decreases. You see this in humans as they get older too. It’s a normal aging process, and not always indicative of disease. 3. The disease process itself can affect growth rate/type. Billi is still g...

Billi continues to be stable 💗 Her button use is markedly less. She used to press about 100-300 buttons per day (depending on how much time a human spent at home with her on a given day), now a verbose day is about 10 presses. Her appetite is a bit worse, but she’s still eating, and she’s still showing interest in outside, easy play time, and as always: cuddles. We’re focused on making her as c...

    Hi hope you read this comment and RUclips doesn't delete it again. We have had cats in the past with CRF. Two amazing products that helped immensely are Astros Oil, for CRF and Celloquent, immune boost powder. I can't place the links as RUclips deletes my post.

    I'm so glad Billi can communicate with you. My cat has asthma, though generally well controlled. She also has a habit of trying to shift her buttons into "feed me" buttons (we've never had food related words), so whenever she presses something that seems out of context, I'm doubtful about her actual intentions. We have an "inhaler" button, though since figuring out a trigger to her attacks last summer, we haven't had to use it regularly anymore. I've seen her have only a few attacks in the last 6 months. And curiously, she's pressed her "inhaler" button before they happened. Admittedly, I brushed her off because there was no clear reason to expect her to actually need the inhaler. I honestly don't know if she can make the link to the inhaler making it easier to breathe or not, but now that summer is here (when her attacks are most frequent), I'm paying a lot more attention and am using the inhaler whenever she requests it now.

    It makes me so sad that you have to be preparing for this, but I am incredibly glad you're putting quality of life over quantity. Additionally, this video makes me want to buy buttons for my dogs. I'm not sure they'd pick up on it, but I'm glad it made your communication much easier.

    If I can offer a suggestion? Would kitten milk be palatable for Billi? My neighbour's elderly cat was refusing food and it was suggested to try it. She enjoys a small bowl little and often, but has also recommenced eating food. It might help get some essential vitamins and minerals into her system while being gentle on her kidneys and stomach. Wishing you all the very best. She's an amazing girl.

I know that there are many others who love Billie, but nothing truly compares to her human Mum and Dad. I truly appreciate you sharing her with the world. You can tell she is a very happy, well-loved kitty. Wishing the Billie family all the love, health, and happiness ♥

    Its sad to see her fading, and so beautiful to see how graciously you let her spend her time being loved, indulged and comforted. When she is gone, there will be a Billi shaped hole in many of our lives. Thank you and Billi for demonstrating to the world at large that cats are brighter, more attached, more loving and more creatively individual than much of the world supposed. Her memorial will be her contribution to broadening our knowledge of cats and how they learn and perceive. And for those of us that already knew it, and only lacked the venue to find proof, we salute you all. Billi is what my husband would have called a little girl in a cat suit. Love

    I've been told that animals don't have a soul and won't be with us in heaven. I don't know for sure but I see no reason I shouldn't pray for animals, and I do, regularly. I have always prayed for Billi and for you and your husband when the day comes that Billi is gone. I've been there many times and it's never easy for anyone but for you guys with the ability to actually talk with your pets I believe it might be harder to let go. Not because you love them more, but because you have a more intimate understanding of their personalities. So, I pray for Billis' peaceful passing and for Jesus' comfort over both of you at that time. In Jesus name, amen
