Wow, that is such a roller coaster of emotions. I will keep you and Tama in my thoughts. Please enjoy every moment you have with him.

I'm so glad that he's eating and doing much better.

Now I hope he'll continue to improve. He remains in my thoughts and prayers.

For a cat that was moments away from death a few days ago, he is now doing great!

He's eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, taking his fluids & gel and resting

And, he went from 5.7 lbs last Wed. to 6.2 lbs today!!

I really hope we can continue on this road for a long time

This is wonderful news!!!

I too hope that he continues to improve and that he'll be around for many more years to come.

Kidney failure is like that. A dehydrated cat will often perk up with fluids; if he's a good patient they can thrive a good length of time with supplemental fluids.

My Pink Nose is also on two supplements: Azodyl and Epakitin. These seem to be working for him; he's on 100 cc fluids 3x a week as a precaution (I've checked for hydration and he passes the "skin test". The extra won't hurt him.

I'm so lucky- he's great with the fluids- doesn't move at all until the very end- he seems to sense when he's almost done
