Review: Great product - Our ckd cat refuses to eat low phosphorus foods so this product helps him continue to eat his fave. Using this with a couple of other products has brought him back from the brink. He’s regained appetite and weight. We are so thankful. Highly recommend.
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long does it take for epakitin to begin working ....days, weeks?**
A: After being released from 4 days of hospitalization for acute renal failure, my cat became symptom-free and flourished (still flourishing) after 10 days of adding small amounts of Epakitin in her wet cat food. twice a day.

**Q: If a low phosphorus diet is prescribed, why does this product contain phosphorus?**
A: Epakitin is made from shellfish shells and they naturally contain phosphorus.  The tiny amount of phosphorus in Epakitin is negligible.  It's only eight ten-thousandths of one per cent or 0.0000008 gram phosphorus to 0.999992 gram of all the other ingredients in a one-gram dose.  0.0000008 + 0.999992 = 0.9999928, or (rounding up) 1 gram.

**Q: My cat refuses wet food, dry only - how can I administer these granules? Wish it was a pill.**
A: It has been a long time since we needed this powder. I believe you could mist the dry food with water or chicken broth to get the powder to stick to the dry food. We had to try quite a variety of wet foods before we found some that our cat would eat. Good luck.

**Q: I'm having a terrible time getting my cat to eat her medicated food.  She dos not like the taste!  Do any of you dose your cats with regular cat food?**
A: My cat with kidney disease never would eat the medicated renal diet. She had eaten mostly dry food and wouldn't eat moist kidney foods. But she happily took Fancy Feast broths and Hartz Delectables pouches. We give her one of each and put one capsule of AminAvast powder and one scoop of Epakitin powder in both times. She started out in stage 3 renal failure but her labs have slightly improved and have not worsened at all over 1.5 years, and she seems to feel quite well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved my cats life!
*by F***C on February 22, 2022*

I have a 2 year old tabby. He wasn't acting like himself. Vet said his blood work showed Phosphorus at 30 should be < 7.5!! HIs BUN was high over 300 too. They suggested I put him down as he was in Renal failure. I decided to take him home flush with fluids 2xs a day 100 in am 50 pm for a week. His appetite slowly came back with BeechNut Natural Beef flavor baby food jar sometimes thinned out with a little water. I started adding Epakitin to his food as directed for a 6# cat which was half the scoop with am meal other half pm. I also added a little for any snacks as he needs to gain weight. Some days I give him more than one scoop depends. This was in January 22. I haven't gotten his blood tested again yet b/c he's hasn't gained enough weight but at least he's eating and acting more like himself again. We're not out of the woods as you know Kidney disease in cats a tough one to maintain. But we have a little more time with him and he's not complaining either! My 15yo cat is pre-kidney disease so he gets a small sprinkle on his wet food as a pre-emptive strike against CKD. I don't think the cats can taste it so it goes well with any food just mix well. Avoid dry food if your cat has CKD. Good luck! Ok so a quick update here since I forgot to mention some other things I did to help him. So, a year later (Jan 23) my cats is fine! Eats and drinks regularly! Gained weight back! The appetite stimulate prescribed called Mirataz was awful and made him more wired and but could not eat. This is the 2nd cat that Mirataz transdermal did NOT work at all for. Vet suggested another med that works on different pathways its called Ondanesetron. I knew I could not pill him so I asked if it could be compounded. BTW they can compound just about anything. I got the script filled at a local pharmacy. Within minutes of giving this to him orally thru a syringe he was looking for food. And that is how I got the Epakitin in him. I don't give him Epakitin anymore unless he starts withdrawing. Epakitin will get those high numbers down! Hope this helps you with your baby!
