An important part of my cat's treatment plan.
My cat Jazz was diagnosed with kidney failure one year and three months ago. The vet started him on Epakitin right away, and it has helped him very much. He refuses to eat the kd foods so using a phosphorus binder is very important. He also takes Aluminum Hydroxide powder, which is another phosphorus binder, the vet said to use both because they both have different benefits. He gets daily fluid treatments and takes Azodyl as well. The Epakitin does work, his phosphorus levels steadily dropped after he started taking it. We're just trying to do everything we can to help him, and the Epakitin is a very important part of his treatment. He almost died after he was diagnosed, and the vet didn't have much hope. Here we are over a year later, and Jazz is doing great, thanks in part to this medication. I definitely recommend it. If your pet was just diagnosed, don't lose hope, there's still a chance for them to live a good life. Edit- My cat Jazz lived for three years after his diagnosis, and they were three wonderful years. This medication and the others he took kept him as healthy and happy as he could be, and helped him live longer. Unfortunately there is no reversing kidney failure, you can only try to slow it down and treat the symptoms. I just want people to know that with the right vet and treatment plan your pet still has a chance. This medication is definitely worth a try.
