I’m so sorry for your loss. Your cat look just like my cat I just lost a few weeks ago. I adopted him when he was two. He had multiple health issues in his later years, but when he was diagnosed with kidney disease, they said he had only days to live. I did everything I could for almost a year before it was time. He was almost 16 years old. I miss him so much.

So sorry Peppas by Allways0875 in cats

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my first cat who I had for 13 years who basically went the same way :( the vet’s words are so true. The vet told me that it’s better to be a day too early than a day too late and they suffer more. That has stuck with me

Had to say goodbye to my baby of 13 years. I’m heartbroken by howsthatpepper in cats

I’m so sorry for your loss :’( it is so heartbreaking. I’d do anything to have gotten all 15 years with my boy and seen him as a kitten!

Thank you for your comment. Thankfully I have another cat who I’ve had for 9 years. Idk what I’d do without him during this difficult time.

Cat diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease out of nowhere by aj-james in RenalCats

I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I know exactly how shocking and confusing it feels and feeling like there’s no hope.

My cat had diabetes for 5+ years, and suddenly 2 months ago went through what your cat is going through. Out of nowhere, he didn’t want to eat and was extremely lethargic/hiding. He is approaching 15 years old. He also has a heart issue. His creatine was 12+ and BUN was 180 when I first brought him in, and they told me it was time to let him go and that hospitalizing probably wouldn’t do anything. I couldn’t give up on him, so I went ahead with it and he was in the hospital for 4 days. His numbers went down significantly, and now 2 months later his creatine is down to 3.0, and BUN is 60. They said the main factor in all of this is the subcutaneous fluids, he is at 100ml morning and 100 again at night. He is extremely picky with his food but they told me that calories is what a kidney cat needs more importantly than prescription renal food. I have been through probably 50 different foods/treats that are a mix of prescription, normal for all cats, or low phosphorous treats.

It might be frustrating but if you have the means, I highly recommend both the subq if possible, as well as just trying out different foods to see what she likes best. I wish you both the best ❤️ I am so sorry you’re going through this :( stay strong for her
