My kitty just diagnosed w/ CRF - need advice & prayers

[Medusa]

Thanks to you all for replying so quickly! I really appreciate it. I'm encouraged by your experiences and we're willing to put up a fight for our sweet Blackie.

One small victory this morning... he ate some Hill's K/D dry food... at least 10-12 pieces! First time I've seen him eat something in 2 days. Now I hope he keeps it down. At least I know he's well hydrated... he drinks water often (plus the Sub-Qs). He was 15.5 lbs (7.03 kg) and is now 13.8 lbs (6.3 kg)... he's still a big/strong boy so I'm hopeful he can pull through.

Great suggestions from you all that I will definitely discuss with my vet. I'm willing to try anything... that Blackie and my bank account can withstand. I'll keep you all posted. Keep those kitty prayers coming!! It's great to be back on this board again... such wonderful people here!

Purrs,
Lisa

KD comes in canned, too. My RB Puddy loved it and normally she would only eat Purina Cat Chow dry and that's it. Any extra moisture that you can get into Blackie is worth a try. Glad to read that he's still a big strong boy.
