Sydney's not doing well

My Sydney is not doing well. His kidney disease is pretty far gone at this point. He still likes to eat and wants affection, so I'm doing my best to keep him supplied with both.

Please send along prayers and lovies for him. Thank you.

Love from Pat and Sydney and the gang :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to Sidney and you.:love:

Sending you both good thoughts and a big HUG!!! :love::love::love:

Aw, give Sydney lots of cuddles, then add one more from me!

My Vita had this; when I finally made the decision and took her in, my vet scolded me that I'd waited about 2 weeks too long; poor Vita, I still feel badly about that. So just pay attention, and love him lots.

Oh Pat, I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Glad to hear he is eating, though.

I hope Sydney and you will have some quality time together and he won't be in pain. Give him lots of loving, and kisses from me, too.

Sending lots of positive thoughts to Sydney and hugs to you. :love: :love:

Hugs and kisses to Sydney - yes if he loves food and being loved, he deserves all he can. Is he still getting fluids ie under the skin?

Wishing you and Sydney many more days of love.:love::love:

Hang in there, Sydney. My Pink Nose is in the same boat; he's losing weight quite rapidly, but is still a smooch and eats well.

I am so sorry. :( I just posted in another thread about going through this with my Taz. Three years later and it still makes me cry. Even to hear of others going through the same thing makes my eyes wet.

Hugs to you and Sydney.

Thank you so much, dear friends, for the ideas and prayers and good wishes and love. Yes, Sydney is getting subQ fluids, twice a day now. He eats little bits of food at a time but he wants some often! I've been giving him different samples for him to see which ones he likes best.

A couple of weeks ago he suddenly lost a LOT of weight, and I was afraid that was it. But he has rallied some, is more active and interested in food again. He also likes attention and affection. So I am doing my best to keep him supplied with all, and we're treasuring this time together.

I'm really sorry, Pat, that you are this stage of Sydney's life. I've been through this several times and know that sinking feeling when there is absolutely nothing more you can do except be there and offer supportive care. I suppose you have checked to make sure he isn't anemic? Does he have mouth sores? I hate it when they develop those. Yes, treasure each moment. My Sam has been in CRF for nearly three years and I've often given up hours when I should have been doing housework on weekends, or getting to sleep on weekdays, because she is under my knees under the blankets enjoying a massage from me and I want every one of those times to remember.

i am so sorry that Sydney's kiney failurevis getting worse. However it's good news that he likes to eat:) . At this stage he can eat whatever he wants. I hope he has still some quality time for him to come.

Pat, I'm sorry you are going through this; please give Sydney a big kiss from here and hugs to you both.

:love:

Big prayers for Sydney :love:

Thanks again, everyone. He's not anemic, no mouth sores that I can tell, fortunately. He had blood work last Monday, and nothing like that came up.

One of his favorite foods is Trader Joe's Turkey and Giblets wet food. I always have lots of that around. I also got some of the gourmet high-quality yummies, some of which he seems to like a lot, so I'll get more of those. I'm going to pick up some baby food too.

All lovies, kissies, hugs, good wishes, positive thoughts, prayers, cuddles, and so on, have been happily delivered and happily received!

I am so sorry your Sydney is having health problems. Tis stressful for him and you. I hope you have some good times left. I am sure you'll take great care of him.

Thank you, Ellie and Kay, from Sydney and me.

I hope dear Sydney hangs around for quite awhile and enjoys his snacks and your love.:love:

Thanks so much! We're finding different taste treats for Sydney to sample. So far, he really likes Merrick Surf & Turf... Weruva Mideast Feast with grilled Tilapia... And he likes to lie curled up in his cat bed next to me as I pet him..

So sorry to hear of Sydney's troubles, Pat. Prayers from me to you and all the kitties :love:

Sydney!!! Snap out of it!!

.....so sorry to hear this.......prayers and positive vibes going out to both of you.....

Thank you, folks, for the prayers and the good loving wishes. He continues to nibble away at different kinds of food he likes. I told him that Edwina says to snap out of it, so he's doing his best!

Love from Sydney and me (and the others too) :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Lots of loving prayers to Sydney and you!

Thank you, Cataholic; they are greatly appreciated by both Sydney and me.

He's dining on some Wysong Chicken Au Jus tonight..
