Gina, please remember that my Puddy was diagnosed w/renal failure and it didn't look good for her at all. She was in the hospital for 6/12 days the first time and 5 1/2 days the second time. She had surgery and started subQ fluids every other day, then every 3 days, then every 4 days, now she's on them once a week. And Puddy is 12 years old w/birth defects. She's doing really well, so much so that I'm able to go away on a business trip tomorrow for 3 days, knowing that she's in good hands w/my house/cat sitter. I know you're upset and sad and want your little girl to be well. God, it hurts us so much to see our little ones suffer. But know that Puddy pulled through and Star can, too. Don't give up because of the words 'renal failure'. Miracles can and do happen every day. I'm praying for you both.

Blessings,
Mary
