My furry BFF is home, because she's a goddamn wizard.

She gets Netflix and cuddles.

She's got a renal infection and kidney disease. Her right kidney has atrophied and her left overcompensated, enlarged, and developed stones. It's why she stopped eating.

So, her regimen until she's better and managed is gonna look a little like this:

I've got to administer subcutaneous fluids every other day, and antibiotics twice daily. I've also got prescription food and an appetite stimulant in case she slows down on the food again.

Apparently when the clinic opened this morning she had felt loads better, so the staff were constantly bombarded with her version of 'I'd like to speak to your manager' every time they opened the door. She downed the food they gave her, and was drinking normally. When I brought her home, she beelined straight for a water dish and has been up and down, talking to me and purring and being back to her regular spunky self, despite the arthritic back.

I love you, old girl. We'll fix this together.

I know the struggle of an ailing pet. My toy poodle Trouble developed Diabetes and I had to give him two shots a day. I will send you some of my strength.

cute! We have three cats right now. Their mother died from coyotes more than likely after giving birth to them. Two girls and a boy. Spend time with her and give it some time and medicine, she will get better :)

Back in probably February, my bird got some sort of respiratory problem and she threw up seeds, became weak but ultimately she managed to live through it :) . I hope your cat gets through this too.

So glad it's not terribly serious. If you need advice on giving pills let me know haha (although Greenies usually do the trick).

Glad to hear. I was gonna spam you with pics of my 3 cats but now nvm.

Put down some extra water bowls. Cats are opportunistic drinkers. They only go to the water bowl when ever they are really thirsty, which is way to late for a kidney sick cat.

I recently put a bowl down next to my desk and my three cats all love this bowl every time they check in on me they take a sip. Another one is in the hallway. Have to refill it every other day. Which is a good thing when I remember when they only had 1 bowl I had to refill it once a day. And I still have to basically do this. So they love it. The last bowl is the regular bowl next to the feeding tray. I was told cat's don't like their water next to their food, but mine seem to not mind. They started to drink way more and thats a good thing when it comes to cats, especially on a non-wet-food diet. :-) Depending on where you life you also can give her different kinds of water. I have an old flower pot with leaves and dirt on my balcony and it fills up with rain. The cats seem to love the taste of their Redflowerpottea.

Best of luck with your wizard.

The reflection in the monitor looks like a cross between Bane and the Creature from The Ring, it's fucking terrifying [sg-ahri-1]

I hope you cat gets better, I lost my cats to kidney disease a few years ago, they were good cats.

Not really related, but it's funny how there's one downvote on every comment that was made an hour ago in here, don't know who did that. I'll add a vote to set everything back to "1".

Anyway, glad she's spunky again :)

Hope she gets better.

Am a cat lover myself.

Are they bathed at all or don't clean often? The infection of their kidneys may have made their way their from their colon.
