Miss Murphy...bad news***WONDERFUL UPDATE!!!!

[Barbara]

Donna, you know that Filou survived the diagnosis of CRF for 5 years. With weekly fluids and diet first, fluids and no diet at all later. If Miss Murphy is happy and eating you cannot know whether it is 6 months or a much longer time. Make sure she eats as much as she can as losing weight is not good for her.
If an acute crisis comes more often (like 2 times in 2 months), if she begins to look scruffy, if she loses too much weight, if she refuses eating- then the time will begin to think about her passing.

Older vets sometimes have the opinion that as you cannot cure it you might as well put a cat to sleep- but the life quality of kidney kitties can be wonderful for a time that varies broadly.

I am sure Filou waves from heaven to Miss Murphy.

Way too go.

When I took her to the vet, she gained her .3 lbs back PLUS another .1 a week later when we needed a urine sample. Whenever she gets LOUD, that's my sign that she wants to eat. I'm going to invest in the Soulistic canned food. It's supposed to have moisture in it and taste good. A little expensive but, anything for my girl. We'll see.
