More Filou worries- 1/28 good update post 128
I came home from a fair two days ago and thought Filou was sleeping more than usual. Not having seen him for a week I also noticed that he had lost weight- he is now thin enough that you can see every ounce :( Siegmar reported he didn't had much appetite.
He went for his fluids and the vet was worried as well. He is now diagnosed with kidney failure for two and a half year- we just don't know how long he will make it :(
But he seemed ok- he ate a little, peed (and I should have noticed that it was not much) and cuddled on his own scarce terms.
I was even more worried yesterday because he didn't get up when Tigris got some treats before I went to bed- he usually doesn't miss that date. After some time he came upstairs, went straight to the laundry basket in the bathroom and peed blood on a pink cashmere cardigan. So the poor boy has an UTI. We got him to the vet again this morning and she and us are very relieved that it is an UTI only. He's getting antibiotic shots (she thinks his stomach will not be ook with pills) and something against the pain and I hope he's better soon. Regarding that it is an UTI I think he was incredible brave.
I love my boy so much.......

Here's hoping he regains some weight
Gosh, such a dilemma you have there. I suppose all you can do is what you think he would enjoy having done to him. It is such a difficult call to make.
Personally, I think Abys are not the sturdiest of cats. They spend soooo much time and energy being athletes and I think they fall short of immune system stability.
I wish my Miley girl had had a better immune system and intestine system, but she didn't. It surely broke my heart to see her go, but I just knew that the quality of her life was diminishing rapidly.
Barbara & Sigmar, I hope things turn around for you and Filou. You have tried so hard to keep him happy. I wish you only good things for the outcome.
Love and many, many get well wishes for little Filou,
Sas, Chloe, JuniRose, Lucy and Cinnamon
