Any news on sweet Samson? What did the vets say? Positive thoughts and prayers sent your way...

All fingers and paws crossed that Samson will be just fine, don't despair if it does come back with CRF, my cat Ash was diagnosed ten months ago, and is still doing pretty well, it can be managed with medication, and they can go on to live happy,lives,hoping for the best outcome though, let us know when you do.

He goes back to the vet's tomorrow, so we're still waiting.

Well, he had to stay overnight last night because he wouldn't give them a urine sample, but after all is said and done, he does have kidney failure. It looks like we're dealing with a special diet, fluids once a month, and Pepcid. Samson is home now and seems to be settling back in just fine. It's been kind of quiet (at least in the kitty department) while he's been gone.

I just picture him thinking "I have to pee, but I am NOT doing it with you all staring, nope, NOT gonna do it!"

Aww, poor guy, but at least there are ways to help him, and it doesn't have to be the end of the line!

I've never had a kidney kitty, but I know several have had to deal with that on here. Several do very well for years with the diet change and fluids. It seems you must have caught it fairly early since the fluids are once a month. I hope Samson gets to stay with you for many more years.
