From Naro’s Guardian
Naro turned 18 this year.
He lives with multiple conditions—chronic kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, and arthritis.
At one point, I honestly wondered if it would still be meaningful to start anything new for him at this stage.
But looking back now, I’m so glad that I decided to begin.
Starting the Routine
In the spring of 2024, Naro’s creatinine level was 2.3, and his BUN was 36.
Those numbers had been staying high for quite some time, so I knew I couldn’t keep waiting.
That’s when I started to take a more consistent approach to his daily care, beginning with the Dr. Toru Protocol in March 2024.
Later, I added the Intensive Protocol and Probiotics Protocol, along with Omega-3 and a phosphate binder, following our veterinarian’s guidance.
Each change was made slowly, with close observation of how he was feeling each day.
Lab Values and Condition
Date | BUN | CREA | SDMA |
2024-04-13 | 36 | 2.3 | 12 |
2024-10-12 | 31 | 1.9 | 13 |
2025-04-05 | 38 | 1.9 | 10 |
Over time, Naro’s kidney values stayed within a stable range.
For us, that stability itself has been a great comfort.
What I Felt as a Guardian
When we began this journey, I hoped the numbers would go down.
But as time passed, I came to understand that stability—simply holding steady—is already a precious sign of well-being, especially for an older cat.
After starting the supplements, I noticed small but visible changes.
Naro began walking around the house again, and the limp in his hind legs gradually eased.
Seeing him move more comfortably brought me so much relief.
More than anything, just watching him live his days peacefully has been the greatest comfort of all.
Looking Ahead
For Naro, maintaining stability has become our main goal.
His days are gentle, steady, and filled with quiet strength.
I’ll keep supporting him with patience and care, one day at a time.
