    Fluffy is going downhill....fast *****UPDATE*****

    This has been going on now since last week and my heart is just breaking

    Fluffy is 20 years old and has been in renial failure now for at least a year. Last week he stopped eating, drank a whole lot more that usual (and he drinks a lot), has runny poop and sleeps even more and is vomiting.

    Tim & I knew what was happening, but we took him to see his doctor on Monday, she prescribed a few Rx's and upped his Sub Q fluids to every other day. Took a blood test and we waited.............

    This morning she called with the results: His kidneys are shutting down... rapidly.
    He also has "spirochete bacteria" in the stool sample and are treating him for that.
    He took the pills this am, but promptly vomited back up the liquid meds I gave him so we are holding off on those and maybe she will give it to him via injection if he does it again this evening.

    All I have been doing these last 48 hours are crying - it is even hard to type right now. Fluffy has been the best cat anyone can ask for. We have never seen him in a bad mood, never has hissed at anyone even a dog he came face to face with once! He sleeps between us every night and I can't fall asleep unless he is there purring.

    I could go on and on, but right now I can't (can's see through the tears.........

    so with that, I must go now. Please keep my Fluffy in your prayers tonight.

    Thank you.

    Bunny I'm so sorry! I know this isn't easy and we're here if you need anything.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Awe... poor Fluffy. I hope that the vet will be able to help, or to help Fluffy to the bridge peacefully. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Fluffy.

    It's a heartbreak...give Fluffy some kisses for me.

    He had SO much love, never had a better home than with you! You were his blessings, as he was one to you.

    Bunny I'm so sorry- 20 years! That's more than you experience with many humans you became friends with.

    But I am sure these were 20 happy years for Fluffy.
    I wish you strength for the way you have to go.

    I am so sad to hear about Fluffy; our hearts get heavy when a beloved family member starts failing and there is little we can do but be there for him.

    You gave Fluffy a wonderful life full of love and tender care, don't forget that. Twenty years is a long time for a cat to survive, and that's mainly because of your devotion.

    Cherish every moment you have with him, love him with all your heart, and be there when it's time to cross to the RB.

    we'll all be here for you........((((hugs))))
