So sad to hear this about Ash, but I hope that the vet will be able to give you more alternatives, or a more positive outlook on his future (and hopefully it will be many more years).

Will definitely keep Ash in my thoughts and prayers.

Love him to bits and spend all the time you can with him, take lots of pictures. Let him know how loved he is. ((((HUGS))))) to him and you.

Maybe either crosspost or start a thread over in the cat section. I know I've read several posts from people dealing with different stages of kidney failure over there. Of all the ailments I've dealt with, I haven't had that one yet. I hope Ash recovers from the surgery and gets to experience many more happy times with you.

Did your vet tell you whether it's acute or chronic? My Puddy has been in chronic renal failure for several years now and she's been on subQ fluids for the last couple. She's even been operating on one kidney for at least a year, so keep the faith, Carole. I'm here to help so, if you need to, please PM me w/any questions you may have. You and Ash are in my prayers, of course.

I'm so sorry Ash was diagnosed with such a dreadful thing. My dad's friends dog was diagnosed with Kidney Failure at the age of 7 and he is now 9 years old. Don't give up hope! ((hugs)) and prayers to you and Ash.

Aw, Carole, I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful cat. I haven't been keeping up lately, and I'm sorry I'm just now posting. I know you will keep Ash comfortable, and that's all he needs. You guys will be in my thoughts. Hugs and kisses from our home to yours.
