Neo's Health Improvements
Over 6 months (Apr. to Oct. 2024), Neo’s kidney levels and overall health showed significant improvements.
| Health Metric | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatinine (CRE) | 2.6 | 2.6 | Stable (kidney function maintained) |
| BUN Levels | 38 | 28 | Decreased (better waste filtration) |
| Phosphorus Levels | 5.1 | 5.0 | Slight Decrease (balanced minerals) |
| Energy Levels | Low activity | High activity | Increased energy (more active) |
How Did Neo Improve?
Energy & Activity
- Once limited to minimal movement, Neo now moves around the house with ease.
- Play-hunting has become a daily routine, lasting up to 30 minutes.
Weight & Appetite
- A steady weight gain from 4.5 kg to 4.8 kg reflects improved nourishment.
- Previously unable to finish an 80 g can, he now eats 4 cans and asks for more.
Appearance & Other Changes
- Once rough and dull, his fur is now noticeably soft and shiny.
- Cloudy eyes have cleared, now appearing bright and alert.
Supplement Adjustments
- In April 2024, Neo started Dr. Toru Protocol, leading to slight improvements in appetite and energy.
- In late September 2024, Intensive Protocol was added to his regimen, further enhancing his health.
- He continued taking lactulose, psyllium husk, probiotic supplements, omega-3, and Azodyl.
Neo's BUN levels dropped by 10 while his creatinine and phosphorus levels remained stable, indicating better toxin management. These changes, along with his increased energy and appetite, have given him a significantly better quality of life.
"Neo's become a completely different cat now! He no longer hesitates before jumping off his cat tower, and he doesn't hide in a corner all day. He's a lot more willing to walk or run around the house. He looks and feels and eats so much better now! I'm so happy I could cry!"
