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

    Fern has not eaten all weekend and has been "retching", I can't say vomitting because there is nothing to come up. Just white foam/spit.

    Vet says kidneys feel enlarged, blood work results should come back tomorrow.

    She is dehydrated, as would be expected. I am about to attempt her first sub-Q treatment.

    We are going to try an appetite stimulant but will probably have to force feed her for a while.

    All this is stuff I have done, but Fern is a very tense cat about too close of contact. TODAY, I feel, she will allow it, as she feels SO badly; but when she starts to feel better? Will she be too afraid for treatment? I guess time will tell.

    She is in the neighborhood of 13 years old.
