    Chronic Renal failure

    I just want to say thank you for all your advice and kind words. We said goodbye to Skylar Friday morning. He was at home and surrounded by his human and animal family. He'll always hold a special place in my heart, and I know he is pain free now. His urn came in today, we're still waiting for...

    Chronic Renal failure

    I won't make him wait, he's been too good of a cat to us. I'll be home all day with him tomorrow. If anything changes, I'll give the vet a call. Tomorrow will just be filled with treats and one on one time.

    Chronic Renal failure

    It's so tough to make the decision, but I know it's for him. He hasn't started coughing yet today, but was for a few seconds last night. If it happens again, I'll call them to come out sooner. I know he isn't comfortable anymore, I just need one more day to say goodbye if he can hold on. If he...

    Chronic Renal failure

    Sky is still with us, but is getting worse. He peed again in front of me on our living room rug a couple days ago. Last night he jumped on my bed and started peeing right next to me. He stares at me the whole time he is doing it. This was right after he came out of his room, where his liter box...

    Chronic Renal failure

    He said that this medicine is used a lot of times I've been babying him like I have always done. I've had him since I was 9, he was a birthday gift and my first cat. Sadly, he just walked into our living room and peed right in front of me while looking at me. I think he just told me...

    Chronic Renal failure

    He said that this medicine is used a lot of times for patients receiving chemotherapy. He is already peeing a lot, but is still able to make it to his box. He was such a clean cat, so if he starts going where he is, I'll know it's time... Out vet said they do in home visits, so he'll be in his...

    Chronic Renal failure

    They gave us about a month supply. He is on metoclopramide. It's supposed to help with nausea, throwing up, acid reflux gastrointestinal issues, and to help make his stomach feel better. Our vet said it should help food pass through easier too. im hoping it helps his stomach, he seems restless...

    Chronic Renal failure

    I just got home and gave him his medicine to help his stomach and with nausea. They didn't make me bring him in, I'm glad because he is so sick of going. Hopefully it'll kick in soon and he'll start feeling better. Last night he started gagging whenever he smelled food. One of the vets I really...

    Chronic Renal failure

    I'm just scared of losing him. I'll keep on eye on him through the night and get him on those meds right away. Thank you for responding to me. He still purrs and will look at me for a little bit, but he doesn't really look "home" a lot of times. He is now stretched out on his heating pad, so...

    Chronic Renal failure

    He had 200 ml of sub q around 9 this morning and has had a bowl of water and some water from his filtered bowl. His skin is still snapping back and his mouth looks good and moist, so I don't think he is dehydrated.

    Chronic Renal failure

    Thank you, he's always been a unique looking cat. Epogen is a human medicine that is supposed to help the body produce red blood cell, it seems to be working. Our normal vet, who has turned into Skylar's (cat) specialist wasn't in today. He is the one who has contacted many specialists on...

    Chronic Renal failure

    When we give him 200 ml every other day, he still has a lump on his back on his off days. It takes him awhile to absorb it. I can talk to his vet about doing it everyday, but his epogen that he gets can't be given to him on a day he gets his sub q. I guess it'll dilute the epogen, and he will...

    Sorry I meant to say he has blood in his urine not irons.

    Chronic Renal failure

    I'm not going to give up until I know for sure that I have to. He is cold a lot so I bought him heated blankets and have them set to low, he loves them. We tried the sub q everyday but he started peeing outside his box, so our bet is having us do it every other day, they don't think his body can...

    Chronic Renal failure

    Thank you for your honesty. I was afraid to hear that it might be getting close to his time, but I didn't want to give up yet. I'll give my vet a call to discuss if we can doing anything else for him. I want to be fair to my kitty though too, he was such a proud guy when he was healthy. We...

    Chronic Renal failure

    He is in end stage renal failure. He can't eat any seafood it makes him sick, I said he was a hard case. If we syringe feed him he fights like crazy and starts to drool and then runs away and throws up. He is no good with anything oral. We haven't tried anything to stimulate his appetite. I just...
