    Emergency? Or no?

    I've read that lol! Since I'm using dry food, I googled how to get cats to drink more water. A lot of sites suggested fountains..which obviously my mom won't even consider buying. However it says you can also mix water with the food, and guess what, he started eating because of it! Not a lot...

    Emergency? Or no?

    We will be following the vet's advice to a 'T'. She said that once this bag of food runs out, we may be able to try a cheaper, but still prescription, brand of food, but for now she wants nothing to bother his kidneys. The problem is, my cat is not eating! I'm going to wait till tomorrow and see...

    Emergency? Or no?

    He's home! His kidneys improved and their levels are well into the normal. The vet actually gave us the same food I was going to buy for him, for about two bucks cheaper! It's dry food though...however since my mom is already angry about the 556$ bill, I don't think I'll push it. He's peeing and...

    Emergency? Or no?

    I'm actually looking at kidney friendly foods for him. I'm thinking Hill's Prescription Diet k/d, it seems to be the cheapest and the only bad review on it is the price, but that comes with all prescription foods. Cats seem to love it, which will make my boy very happy if he comes home. We will...

    Emergency? Or no?

    I was planning on going with Fancy Feast, other websites say the same. The only problem is that I heard each cat is supposed to eat two cans? I don't think it will rack up too much money though since they will be on dry food too. I don't really want to mess with raw meat...I wouldn't even know...

    Emergency? Or no?

    tulosai he isn't currently home, he is at the vets right now and they updated us, but since he was drinking while he was at his worst, I would hope he would continue drinking while he's recovering. And their diets are definitely going to be switched. The vet recommended a balance of wet and dry...

    Emergency? Or no?

    He went to the vet and good news! We got a treatment(no surgery just a catheter and maybe a flush) for about 350$. We went ahead and did it...however pretty big issue....about 70% of his kidneys are damaged. We are waiting over a span of a few days to do some more blood tests to see if they...

    Emergency? Or no?

    Thank you guys for your support <3 It really means a lot at this point....I have a bigger problem now I think. He is peeing blood. Not pure blood, looks like pee with some blood mixed in. I think this can either be kinda good or really bad...probably the latter, or both. He doesn't seem to be in...

    Emergency? Or no?

    Thank you all for your advice and help <3 We took him into the vet today and found out he has a urinary obstruction...which, although treatable, will be a very expensive operation. However, my cat also has the problem of weight. He is a fairly overweight cat, about which the vet emphasized...

    Emergency? Or no?

    We contacted quite a few vets, none would even see my cat for less than 185$. Let alone whatever other expenses come with the tests and such, we can't afford it, we honestly can't.So, we will take him in the morning at 7:30. It's currently 11 here, so we have awhile to go...I'm terrified that...

    Emergency? Or no?

    I'm not sure...he stays in my parents' room so I don't see him very often, I do check on him twice or three times a day though. I cleaned the litterbox(after one day) and only found one pile of poop in the whole thing...and we have two cats that use it. It seemed to have hair in it... He just...

    Emergency? Or no?

    I first noticed this going on about...and hour(at least) ago? He's not meowing anymore. He's throwing up bile now since he has nothing in his stomach. He is moving a bit more now(I think). We have no emergency vets, or at least not any that will see my cat without a very expensive fee(this is...
