Sparkle is at it again, sigh! Update #9.

[Medusa]

Sandie, I'm sorry to hear about Sparkle. Nearly all of us have been through it w/our cats and renal failure. It's such disheartening news but perhaps w/weekly subQ's, she'll perk right up. Prayers continuing for her and you. Keep the faythe.

Oh no, I was hoping this wasn't the diagnosis. It just brings tears to my eyes. But then as I've seen here on PT some cats can live months or even years with it. Let's hope that is the case for Sparkle.

Thank you Mary, and Cindy.

Yes, I've been through this before as well. My RB Amber needed sub q fluids for almost a year prior to his passing. I did that here at home. (Well, not HERE as I hadn't bought this house yet.) but he had over active thyroid, so that is what I worry about, never had a cat go straight to renal issues. Huh. Always a new learning curve.

Lets hope the fluids do good for her and she perks back up! Get Well Soon Sparkle!

Best wishes for Sparkle! Hope the new food and some fluids help. Adding some warm water to the new food, whether it is wet or dry, adds more fluids also.

Glad it is in the early stage - though it must still be a shock. {{{hugs}}} Wishing you and Sparkle many more happy and healthy years.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad it's been caught early and I hope she'll have many more good years ahead of her. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Thanks again, Laura, Candace, and . . . krazyaboutkats (forgot your name oops!)

The vet just phoned with the urine sample results. All looks fine on that bit. So for now, I keep Sparkle on the high quality, grain free diet, add canned for her daily to get more fluids in her, and return in 3 months for a recheck on weight and blood work.

I do appreciate everyone's prayers and concern, like most, I panic if ANYTHING goes 'wrong' with one of the furkids.
