    Oh no! You must be frantically worried and upset. It's amazing how much sub-q fluids can help cats; I have them on hand at home all the time and not just for the one CRF foster cat I have. If they can just pull her through the URI, the renal failure can be dealt with. I have a seriously ill CRF cat right now and just put her on Epogen injections which have obviously helped her already. Those, plus twice daily fluids and forced AD feedings have brought her back from near collapse.

    I will be thinking positive thoughts for Emily.

    Prayers for Emily. I am glad that she is staying at the emergency vets. At least you know they will monitor her all night and do what they can. You can have the peace of mind that she is being helped to the best of your ability.

    In the morning, maybe your regular vet will have more suggestions. Maybe a different antibiotic.

    Emily is only 7yo, so she is very young to have kidney failure and it was only diagnosed about a month a half ago so we are only in the early stages of things.

    Right now she is on an IV drip with a heated solution and IV antibiotics, and she is in a heated cage.

    I hope that the re-hydration will help and if she needs to continue it at home I can do that. She just needs to make it through the night...

    But thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

    Have you been in touch with the emergency clinic to see how she is doing?

    Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, I actually just got off the phone with the vet clinic. They said that she is resting comfortably. Her body temperature has started to increase (it was really low). Unfortunately her electrolytes are still really high, but they will check them again at 2AM.

    Please keep her in your prayers this evening...

    More prayers for Emily. I hope that as her temp gets back to normal, her body can start setting everything else back to where it should be.
