I wrote a thread not long ago about my 16 year old cat with one non-working kidney and UI infections all the time. My mother called me today to say that she hasn't been eating or using the bathroom for a few days and is being force fed. She is also just laying around meowing as if in pain. I went down to see her last week and she seemed really out of it. Like she didn't have a clue that I was petting her. Mom took her to the vet and they are thinking about putting her down...... I'm going home in two days to see her again and if she's not better it will probably be the last time.
