Hi all,
Some of you know me and by buddy "Pickles" He is about 13 I believe. I have posted on here before about his condition, He has/had Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a few years back and recently had a Vaccine related sarcoma removed from his side back in November. If you do a search and type in Squamous Cell you can read "Pickles" story. Ok so he has been acting weird, sleeping alot, not really eating too much, and I am guessing not using the litter box alot in the past couple of days. He is also now hiding under my daughters bed, which is really out of character for him, we can barely get him to come out, even when offering treats. He is also on special cat food for renal problems. Now I am not sure if he is just sick or upset my husband has been away for 5 days. For the entire time my husband was away he has been acting odd. He usually sleeps with me, but didn't. I am not sure what to do (yes I know I need to take him to the vet). I am just wondering could his sleeping alot and his sudden change in eating and the hiding be his way of telling me that it's his time. I so not want it to be but I don't want him to suffer he has been through way too much. Not sure what the signs are for Renal Failure. Should I give it a day to see if its just he was upset. Any advice you can share would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks so much.
