Here is the update. Duncan is home and is the happiest cat on Earth today. He has been so lovey and purring so loud. Rubbing all over us. He is a sweet cat. The vet wants us to give him the sub-q fluids for 5 days and bring him back for more tests. We are supposed to give him Enrofloxacin...

We got an email from the vet today. When he gives Duncan fluids his kidneys do good but after a while his kidney values increase. Sounds like kidney disease. We are going to see the vet Friday and find out our options. I'm not sure what will happen next. I've done some research on renal failure...

Well, we went to visit Duncan this morning and he looks a lot better. He was happy to see us. The vet was waiting on a bowel movement and then we may get to take him home tomorrow. We will be given his thoughts on what we should do. He is eating on his own now. And let me say again that he looks...

Got news. Dr said it could be tubular disease or pre renal. He said both are manageable but would like to keep him there to hydrate him. They are doing more test and comparing them. He's done ultrasounds and all. He will call again tmrw.

Not yet. The vet wants to do another blood and urine analysis on him today and will have more info for us tomorrow. The actual vet's daughter fell and broke her leg yesterday in the ice so he wasn't there today. It's been weird without him here since we haven't been to work in 2 days. Maybe they...

Well, you all probably have seen the news. I wasn't able to get home from the weather. Duncan is still at the vet but we got an email from the doctor with him saying he was eating on his own, had a good bowel movement and urine. He would get in touch with us tomorrow. This is good news. I don't...

Well, here is our situation. It's snowing here in Atlanta. Chaos has ensued. We called the vet this morning and they were supposed to call us back. They didn't. And nobody is there now. He will be spending two nights there. Who knows what will happen tomorrow since temps are below freezing all...

Thanks a lot you guys. I just heard from the vet that he will be staying overnight. They said he seems to be doing better. I guess we will find out more tomorrow. I'll keep y'all updated.

He's at the vet now. We had to drop him off. They are going to feed him and give him fluids. They at first said his kidney analysis numbers were high but thought that it just may be from dehydration. Then they have done it again and they have improved with fluids and they are not in the area of...

I don't know if there is a specialist or not. I'll look into it. He has been drinking some tuna juice. Sometimes he doesn't want it then we put some in his mouth then he drinks some more of it. Kind of like he can't smell but can taste a little. We just fed him some food through a syringe. It's...

He is not fat at all. He weighed 10.5 lbs. he was down to 8 last week. I assume he is a little lighter now. If he was diabetic. It definitely wouldn't be from being obese. Here's a photo of him at normal size.

I was wondering if it could be a parasite. It puzzles me that after his antibiotic injection, which was convenia, helped him feel better for a week. But all of this came back. Maybe it isn't strong enough for his system. He once had an injection of convenia for a UTI. It helped for about a week...

He hasn't had any bowel movements lately but he hasn't eaten a large amount in a few days. He would go when he was vomiting and felt better than he does now. There was never any blood. I'm aware that cancer is still a possibility since it doesn't always show up on a x ray. I just hope it's not...

Thank you guys for the advice. I think an ultrasound is definitely what we are going to do next. We have given him some tuna water last night and he actually got a little excited after trying it. We have done the baby food as well. He does lick some of it. We have used the syringe today. He...
