    What a relief that your vet feels confident that you can pull Fluffy through this acute stage. As others have said, once you get used to giving fluids, it's pretty easy and you can see how much better it makes your cat feel. I've had several cats with chronic renal failure who have lived for 2-3 years beyond the diagnosis, and they were good years too - which is what we want for our cats. Anyway, good luck with Fluffy and give him an extra tummy rub from me.

    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

    All best hopes for your so sweet looking Fluffy. I love his tail, too, and his expression in the first photograph. We have some experience with sub-cutaneous fluid and nutrition pulling cat/s through bad phases. I hope your Fluffy gets better and you can share more time together.

    Prayers and positive thoughts for Fluffy (and you).

    I'm experiencing the same type of thing with Ripley. He has begun to lose weight and when I had him a the vet for his last bladder infection they said there were signs of the beginning of kidney failure. He just turned 14 last month.
