I'm taking my old boy to the vet tomorrow. He's just not acting right and he's trying to tell me something. Today he jumped up on my dresser, backed up to the mirror and started to spray right in front of me. When he sprays so blatantly I know he is trying to tell me something. Afterwards he wanted to spend time in my lap (he is not much of a lap cat) and he even curled up with Rumor in the recliner - this never happens.
There have been some other things I've been watching lately. He's thrown up a few times over the past few week or so but last night he was acting like he needed to eat something to make him throw up but he never did.
Another concern is his abdomen seems very full and tight. It's been that way to an extent the past year and the vet has just been watching but now it seems so big.
I'm sure it's time for sub-q fluids and I'm going to ask the vet to teach me to do it at home to save Ripley the stress of a car ride and vet visit. The stress makes his kidney failure worse.
