Emily is REALLY sick, she is gone

The best thoughts are coming Emily's way and yours too. What a terribly difficult time you are going through right now. Hopefully you'll find some comfort from your friends here.
How old is Emily?

HUGS and PT Prayers for poor Emily!

Rehydration has worked miracles before on cats...and with EARLY renal trouble, I hope it will do the trick!

She can't be that old...I hope her usual good health will stand her in good stead.

Emily, come back and stay with your Meowmie...come back to love and health.
Creator, power of life, God, all that is right and whole, please embrace and heal one of your beautiful creatures, Emily.

Sending best thoughts for Emily. I hope so much she can get over this.

i am soooo sorry for your poor baby being so sick.Do you think she'll be ok for an operation?Usually that's what they do when the URI is this bad...and usually as fast as possible.I'm saying when nothing else works.
Prayers are on the way for dear emily.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I know it's always hard but even harder when it's so sudden. RIP sweet Emily.

Please take care. (((HUGS)))

What a terrible shock for you. That was so fast!

I'm very very sorry to hear about your little Emily. My thoughts are with you today.

Emily - dear, dear Emily. The URI must have been very serious to cause this much sickness - her body couldn't even stay warm.

If there was bad news...at least it came from your regular vet, who knows Emily.

Everything possible was done for her; she was loved and knew it. And you were with her at the end - I pray it was peaceful.

And Mom Emily - you are loved here, and we are here for you.

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.

I am so sorry to hear about Emily. Hugs, prayers and good thoughts for you and your sweet girl. Don't lose hope, the docs are doing all they can for her.

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.

my colby and lucy have early kidney failure,both are about 7 years old.very hard on us wondering why so young and hoping so much they get many more years.
