[Furious Angel]

it is just what was written on her form.
We have her back now.
She has the chronic one
we have a maximum of two months left with her 

[Em]

4 years 2 months

Blimey that is very precise.

hmmm... it is a bit, isn't it!

[Ela]

4 years 2 months

Blimey that is very precise.

[Furious Angel]

well the vet thought she was 4 years 2 months old but we have had her for 4 years so this is not true :S also she was supposed to be about 5 years old when we had her :S

[Desley (booktigger)]

The vet will be able to give a rough idea of her age from her teeth, but just cos her kidneys aren't too good doesn't mean she is quite an old lady, esp not if this is after an infection. My apologies for the link, dont quite know how I got that wrong!!

[Furious Angel]

nobody really knows her age but aparently from todays resuts she is quite an old lady (although looks like and acts like a kitten)

[Michelle (furbabystar)]

Oh Angel that wasn't the news we were waiting for !

But as others have said Don't give up on her, this doesn't have to be the end.

Let me tell you about my friend, He had to carry his cat Tilly into the vets as she was so weak and unwell and believe me i didn't give her much hope especially when they found out that her kidneys were failing BUT with treatment and medication she is still here 18mths later and doing well !

How old is Spooky BTW ?

Keep ya chin up Angel - Big {Hugs}

Michelle xxxxxxx

Oh Angel so sorry to her about spooky    Don't give up on her yet .... as the others have said cats with CRF can live long and happy lives with the right treatment and care.

[Gillian Harvey]

I think a bit was left out of the link - its www.felinecrf.org - that should get you to the site that many people believe is the 'bible' for kidney  failure cats - it is a wonderful resource. There are things that can be done for cats with kidney failure, including diet and medication, so no need to give up hope. One of mine was recently diagnosed and she is quite well at the moment.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Angel if you go to links in the little boxes at top of page and into health etc there is a link in there for CRF.

I do hope your cat will be OK if she is put on the right meds, keeping fingers crossed

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Des just tried that link below and it is coming up with a heavy metal band called CRF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Furious Angel]

no and clicking on it brings up a blues band

[Em]

Can't tell you how sorry I am, will be sending as much positive energy as I can muster and crossing my fingers for you both. Hope she stabilises 

[Desley (booktigger)]

Sorry to hear things aren't good - but cats can live with failing kidneys for years with the right treatment - have a read of www.crf.org.uk

[Furious Angel]

she is already been put on a drip and dialysis she can come home tomorrow and see how she is at the weekend but things do not look good - my baby is dying

[Em]

poor baby... can anything be done for her? So sad...    big

[Furious Angel]

spooky doo had to stay in to have some bloods done and some serious tests and had the results a little while ago - spooky doo has failing kidneys...

[Beccles]

Also - give her TINY amounts at a time. Like, a teaspoon. Or half a teaspoon.

It may be that her tummy's now got used to being empty and that she's being sick because her stomach is reacting as if she's overeaten.

And agreed - back to the vet time, too.

This may be a stress-related thing - perhaps ask about feliway diffusers or spray, make sure she's somewhere quiet and feeling safe with no other critters around when she's eating (that includes human children!).

[Desley (booktigger)]

Good luck at the vets - they should be looking at this seriously by now, and not just relying on tabs given at home.

[Michelle (furbabystar)]

Yep Good luck at vets -

[Furious Angel]

we will we promise

[Sam (Fussy_Furball)]

Ahhh poor baby.  Please let us know how you get on.


BTW ... I  meant to say Hi and welcome to Purrs 

[Furious Angel]

my fluff ball is going to see the nice cat doctor at 2, i really hope they can find out what is wrong we have been giving her kitten food for a day and a half and she likes it but doesn't get to enjoy much of it cus it comes back out

[Michelle (furbabystar)]

i am not sure whether its the tablets.
thing is my little lady has been eating a bit more recently but she is bringing everything she eats back up :S

I really think that you should take Miss Spooky back to the Vets - if she cant keep anything down you really need some more advice.

Good luck xx

[Sam (Fussy_Furball)]

Rebecca you beat me to it!!

You could also try her giving her kitten food .... this has lots of extra goodness in and will help getting the weight back on.

But i would definately have another word with Mr Vet.

Sending lots of hugs and postiive vibes that Spooky gets well soon

[Furious Angel]

i am not sure whether its the tablets.
thing is my little lady has been eating a bit more recently but she is bringing everything she eats back up :S

[Beccles]

I'm guessing she doesn't want to eat cos of all the yucky tablets.

what does auntie/uncle vet think about it all?

Some things to try:

boil a small piece of chicken or fish and offer her both the meat AND the water it was cooked in (no salt) when it's cooled

offer her a little bit of boiled egg mashed up (not a whole egg, just a tiny bit)

see what vet thinks about offering her either some special cat formula or commercial cat milk

I do hope she feels better soon 

[Furious Angel]

my cat spooky is a very poorly lady, usually she doesn't want cuddles a lot or even much attention usually quite happy to stay in the background.
thing is
she got an absess on her head and with that she wouldn't eat much so she lost a lot of weight.
the very nice cat doctor gave her some medicine and some yucky tablets to swallow and said she'd get better.
she did
but she still wont eat
we took her back to the very nice cat doctor and her gave her some more medicine and some more yucky tablets to take
this was a couple of days ago
thing is she is no better at all and has got worse
she now can't keep any food down
she is drinking a lot thank fluffy god
but she wants loads of cuddles, can't move much, and she always moves her tail, the only time it stops is when she sleeps but this has stopped
i'm going out of my mind with worry and her brother is sad too!
does anyone know what this may be?
please please help me and my fluffy child
