how long does it take for epakitin to begin working ....days, weeks?

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.

If a low phosphorus diet is prescribed, why does this product contain phosphorus?

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.

My cat refuses wet food, dry only - how can I administer these granules? Wish it was a pill.

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.

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?

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.

Good results

I think it gave me extra years with my cat. I was told Coot’s levels were elevated and we were looking at pre-kidney disease when she was about 15 years old. She hated the prescription foods so I tried Epakitin mixed into her usual food every day. She passed at 18 years old due to cancer, and her kidneys had outlasted all expectations. She remained quite healthy up until the very end. There’s no way to know for certain what would have happened without Epakitin, but I think it was well worth it.
