Ripley needs good vibes and thoughts - UPDATE!

I hope Ripley feels better soon.
He was such an adorable kitten and he is such a handsome boy now.
Give him a gentle hug from me. :)

We are sending Prayers for Riley that the White Coats can find a way for Your Companion can come home to you.
The Pet Angels will send Some Angels to comfort Ripley and keep him Company.
Please Get Well Big Guy.

Ripley...get well soon!!!!

Lori, sending good thoughts your way for Ripley.

Lori: I just emailed you but I wanted to tell you again that I am so sorry about Ripley!!! Poor guy!!! You must be heart broken!

{{{HUGS}}} for you and PRAYERS for Ripley!!! Like you said, this isn't an automatic death sentence . . . he can still have years to live, as long as he gets the care he needs! Let's just pray that the vet will be able to give him what he needs. Hang in there, hon!!!

I am so sorry.....Prayers to Ripley and you!

Finnigan and I will be sending plenty of positive thoughts Ripley's way hoping he'll get better soon. :)

Lori,

{{{hugs}}} to you and Rip.

Can I just say, he doesn't look THAT old :D
Looks like a young stud muffin to me ..... :D

Prayers for Ripley and HUGS for you. A sad finding indeed, but knowing about it wll help in treatment.

hugs on the way for you and Grandpa Ripley!

:( I have e-mailed you about our Ernie (1986-2003) and our experience with his kidney failure...

I am sorry to read this about Ripley

(((HUGS))))

You know that Filou was diagnosed with kidney failure a year ago. He's doing well with weekly sub-q fluids. At the moment there is no difference in behavior or whatever.

The diet food he likes best is Royal Canin Renal- the dry food. He didn't like the Hill's K/D

There is a very good website in which you can learn all about this condition:

http://www.felinecrf.org/

All the best for Ripley- the diet and the fluids will give him some more quality lifetime. :)

I found this wonderful website that is all about feline chronic renal failure and I think it is just excellent, full of imformation and help. I wish I had this site back when our RB Ernie had the condition. Hope it helps someone else :)

PS.. the URL is similar to the one Barbara posted, but is ".com" rather than ".org") ;)

*big hugs* to you and my prayers go out to little Ripley.
also visualizing those kidneys regenerating to strong and healthy!

Hugs and prayers to gorgeous loving Ripley!
