    Fluffy is going downhill....fast *****UPDATE*****

    This has been going on now since last week and my heart is just breaking

    Fluffy is 20 years old and has been in renial failure now for at least a year. Last week he stopped eating, drank a whole lot more that usual (and he drinks a lot), has runny poop and sleeps even more and is vomiting.

    Tim & I knew what was happening, but we took him to see his doctor on Monday, she prescribed a few Rx's and upped his Sub Q fluids to every other day. Took a blood test and we waited.............

    This morning she called with the results: His kidneys are shutting down... rapidly.
    He also has "spirochete bacteria" in the stool sample and are treating him for that.
    He took the pills this am, but promptly vomited back up the liquid meds I gave him so we are holding off on those and maybe she will give it to him via injection if he does it again this evening.

    All I have been doing these last 48 hours are crying - it is even hard to type right now. Fluffy has been the best cat anyone can ask for. We have never seen him in a bad mood, never has hissed at anyone even a dog he came face to face with once! He sleeps between us every night and I can't fall asleep unless he is there purring.

    I could go on and on, but right now I can't (can's see through the tears.........

    so with that, I must go now. Please keep my Fluffy in your prayers tonight.

    Thank you.

    Bunny I'm so sorry! I know this isn't easy and we're here if you need anything.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Awe... poor Fluffy. I hope that the vet will be able to help, or to help Fluffy to the bridge peacefully. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Fluffy.

    It's a heartbreak...give Fluffy some kisses for me.

    He had SO much love, never had a better home than with you! You were his blessings, as he was one to you.

    Prayers from me and my kitties to you!

    I feel so bad for you and Fluffy. Take comfort in the 20 years he's had that he might not have had with another owner not willing to do all you've done for him over the years. 20 is a ripe old age for a cat and speaks highly of the great care you've given him over the years. Fluffy has been one lucky kitty to have found you for an owner!

    God Bless

    May she be with you as long as she wishes.

    Twenty years old is an accomplishment.

    Bunny I'm so sorry- 20 years! That's more than you experience with many humans you became friends with.

    But I am sure these were 20 happy years for Fluffy.
    I wish you strength for the way you have to go.
