Cat not well with dilated pupils

[Catlady711]

Thanks
No blood tests as yet as they said she needed to eat regularly first before they would do one! (which is catch22 as she's not eating because she's not well). The vet felt her kidneys and said they seemed a decent size so unlikely to be kidney desease.

You would know whether you trust this vet or not, but if it was me, I'd be seeking a second opinion elsewhere ASAP!

Where I work they prefer fasting prior to alot of blood tests, and I can't recall ever hearing any of the vets say a sick pet had to start eating first before they could do the lab work.

I've never heard of a vet that can diagnose kidney disease from simply 'feeling' the kidneys. A cat can have like 80% of the kidneys be non functioning before some show signs of the disease. Only lab lab work is going to give a proper answer, or at least remove concerns from the list of possibilities.
