    My mom thinks that his kidneys are on the way out. If that is the case, Ashes won't have long. He have not ate or drank all day. I am starting to get real worried.

    I hope you can get him to the vet soon. Do you have a baby syringe that you can use to get some water into him?

    If it IS his kidneys, and it's in earlier stages, a diet change can give Ashes more time.

    He has drank some water on his own today and so far no eating. My brother is looking into donating plasma to help him. He just recently had to rebuild his computer and if Ashes only gotten sick like this a few days ago, my brother would have had the money. I want to take him to a vet with care credit but my mom still has bad feelings for the emergency vets for what happened to Tigger and would rather not take Ashes there even though care credit is accepted there. Still holding onto hope that Ashes could pull through this, however planning on the worst.

    He is on a special diet for his urinary tract so if he makes it for next week we will see about changing it again.

    Update: My mom found a second lump. Looks like its cancer and my mom seems to think it may be leukemia from the cat we are trying to rehome. If that is the case then we need to test Oreo as well if this is cancer and if so, what type.

    We did take in a fourth cat named Oreo a couple of months ago to help a friend out so that he wouldn't be beaten up by the other cats and am looking to rehome him.

    Sweetie - if he is not eating, he could get fatty liver disease and that is fatal. If the vet will take care credit, please ask your mom again. By the time your brother finds out about donating plasma - bless him for trying - it could be too late for Ashes.

    Please take him now, while he still maybe has a chance. Give the vet another chance - it may even be a different person - and give Ashes a chance too.

    I will keep trying. She needs to get her head around the fact that he needs to see a vet now and at least get a diagnosis. I don't want Oreo to get the blame if it wasn't him.

    Perhaps she might call the vet and describe the symptoms to the tech? Then they can tell her what they think. Good luck!
