She is such a strong willed kitty. She is very lucky to have such a caring mommy.

Thank you all for your kind words. I've taken a lot of comfort in them this past week.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May Tux rest in peace and may you find peace yourself.

My mini-eulogy.... We made the painful decision to put Tiger to sleep today. The past two months have been a rollercoaster for us. Every two weeks he would head downhill and give us a scare, but he's always pulled out of it and showed us just how strong his will to live was. This past week...

Well, he took a turn for the worse over the past 12 hours. He started having seizures early this morning. By the time 11 AM rolled around he would twitch for a full 30 minutes before he went into full body convulsions. He was unable to walk and his eyes were completely glazed over. We brought...

Update on Tiger... He's been receiving his sub-q fluids every other day along with his pepcid and his appetite stimulant and he's done very well though he seems to be getting very tired. He is such a brave kitty. It's obvious that little by little he's losing weight and getting weaker but he...

Hi. I'm going through the rollercoaster that is taking care of a newly diagnosed CRF kitty, too. Feel free to PM me if you need to vent or cry or anything.

Hello, just wanted to update you all. Tiger has been getting 120 ml of fluids once a day, his pepcid and his appetite stimulant. He ate 3 times yesterday without vomiting and hasn't had any more accidents outside of his litterbox since Saturday night. He's much more comfortable (walking...

Tiger is still peeing. Peeing a lot, though the past two days. He is no longer defecating in his litter box, however. He's been going outside of the litter box but right next to it. His eyes aren't glazed over like they were before. He's sleeping a lot again, though and has a hard time getting...

She told me that giving him the fluids twice a day won't hurt him at all, but now you have me a bit worried. We just gave him 100 ml a little while ago. I won't give him any more today. It's looking like Monday is going to be his last day. I just want to keep him comfortable until then, you know...

Hey everyone. Thanks for your replies. I spoke with the vet this morning and she said that she is going to prescribe me an appetite stimulant for Tiger. First she said she would give us Reglan but them she said she was going to give us something different (begins with an M) that we would give...

One neighbor is out of town and the other is working until 6 am. I'm going to make sure we call the vet first thing in the morning when working neighbor gets home from work. Thank you for the quick reply.

Hello guys! I wrote earlier this month about how Tiger was diagnosed with CRF. We got him home and the past few weeks have been pretty uneventful up until yesterday..it appears that he's crashed again. It's no where near as severe as it was initially because we recognized the symptoms right away...

Congrats on your new Quaker baby! They are really amazing birds and make wonderful pets.

I'm so sorry to hear that Sassy is having a hard time right now. I hope that you guys are able to get her numbers low again. Sending positive kitty thoughts your way.

Well, he's home. We were able to bring him home yesterday afternoon. They told us to keep an eye on him and give them a call back on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he just doesn't seem to be doing any better. He slept most of the day yesterday. He isn't walking around very much and when he does, his...

Well, we've all managed to get over the shock/fear and talk things out, so the mood is much calmer here. I went to visit with Tiger today. When he saw me he gave me one of his infamous "hello" meows. After 3 days of IV treatment he looks a bit better. His eyes aren't glassy, his coat is much...

Thank you all so much for welcoming me to the board and for the compliments on Crackers. He is a handsome boy. Here's another picture. Lazy cat.

Well, we got the official blood work back. He's stage 4. I went and visited with him this morning for awhile. He still has the IV in. He doesn't feel nearly as bony as he did yesterday and his coat is much smoother. He still isn't eating anything but he's drinking a ton of water and urinating a...

Hi. I posted already in the CRF forum, sadly. I did want to tell you more about myself in the proper forum, though. I'm Dez, from VA. I'm married to my husband of (almost) 5 years and we have two daughters. I work from home. I have a kitty named Crackers and some plants I haven't killed yet...
