He is in big trouble. He, over past 6 mos., lost from 10plus to 6lbs now. Been in ER Hosp. 2 wks ago,for 5 days in ICU w/ blood transfusion/IV fluids. Has FiV so can't survive renal t-plant. Really sad & he was acting weird over past few months. Now I'm trying to pallitatively care for him at home. So sad, as our vet in July '20 claimed his Dec. '19 SDMA test was 16 but then -- thus, only a "chance" of developing kidney disease. As you see be vigilant w/ your kitty if SDMA is high early on. It IS an indicator & denying he needed another bld test in July '20 to reconfirm/update really hurts -- as he couldv'e been eval'd then as having Stage 1 CKD. Instead after moving cross USA we found out in Oct. '20, he had Stage 1 CKD. I'm too down to even go on but you can tell how I feel; He is bony from a virile male Tom cat -- to this. So very sad for him & I mean very sad.
