Fern: Kidney failure, need advice from those who dealt with this.

Smokey just added the felinecrf website which is excellent.
I am afraid Fern's fur already looks ruffled in a way that points to kidneys.
If the sub-q fluids don't work she may need IV for a night or so. I hope very much she overcomes this crisis.
Of course eating is very important for kidney kitties. In Filou's bad times I always had success with egg yolk which was more than one time the thing that got him back to eating.
We keep our paws crossed for Fern.

I am taking Fern back to the vet tonight. But I do not have much hope. She just seems too far gone. She hasn't kept even the smallest amount of food down.

Prayers, Jen. Kidney cats can bounce back amazingly well. I hope this is the case for Fern.

Wishing you and Fern peace whatever the outcome.

Oh I hope Fern rallies. Puddy rallied time and time again. Daily subQ's might be the key for a while. Keep the faythe, Jen.

I am sorry your Fern is sick. I do hope she can get better. I'll be checking back... Kay in NC

Fern will not rally. She is gone.
