SUNNY KIDNEY FAILURE SECOND TIME UPDATE

Starshine started this conversation

Last night I laid down to sleep tired at 830PM and felt Sunny next to me, feeling his face rubbing up to be petted.. I wondered if he was saying goodbye?

I just talked to the vet and Sunny is in Kidney Failure again. He will be put on IV then come home in a few days and I have to give him IV shots a few times a week. Now this vet says he has seen cats last up to a year. Tears are falling from my eyes. I have to call back Friday and see how long he is going to be around depending if we can keep him eating right and how he does. 

So he is eating some and getting ready to be shaved again. Hair that finally came back in will be gone. He will get to come home in a few days. My heart is aching and I know it is only a cat but he is like my child to me..I can't believe this is happened and happened again. I know he is going through hell with his body for a second time. Dang it. 

What is hardest is to know my cat's time is limited and when I let him go putting him to sleep verses going through hardship on his body. At least this time he is skin and bones like the last time but his creatine levels are high like the last time and will be brought down by IV's . He bullted from the couch and to the furniture and down to other cubby holes. He body was turning on him, shutting down and he was going through hell in the inside. 

Whether it is Sunny or a human being to know and see them suffering is so hard on them and the people they know. The only thing we can do is to comfort them, help them and pray for a miracle for them.

See how he does with the iv's and food take it from there and talk to regular vet on Friday on his opinion...

LOL

I will be able to handle it. I HOPE. I know it will be a struggle to give him the dang shots like it is to put flea medicine on him so I will try not to stress him or I out by me screaming at him hold still, don't bite etc..I appreciate the offer and we will duke it out when Sunny gets home. I just feel for the little burger..I have a bunch of crap to declutter in living room. I have help I hope volunteers of America in LA in CA is picking up his bill and have to get other cat food. I think I will need a drink for this...My neighbors will get the cat when he is ready to come home..Better eat and try to move back on forth..oh next door getting carpet cleaned and this needs it badly - you should see it but need to make some bucks...

love you and thank you.

Listen...I took care of my next door pal's cat for 2 1/2 yrs. who had kidney failure..pal?well, HE couldn't DO the shots nor the IV that kitty needed everyday at 3PM....I WENT AND DID THEM..kitty? also had a PILL (1/2 a day) to take to increase appetite + the shot helped, too...ask VET just WHAT ON EARTH are the IV'S...etc...how often...they are NOT HARD TO DO/GIVE..(unless? you are our pal next door!)..and kitty was OLDER, too...she was 18 this past March when she just gave up on her own...they can and do do well with all of this...IV and shots (I think? cost pal about$33.00/MO. + pills had to come from WALGREEN'S, no less!)..but? she sure was a trooper!  She would LOVE fresh white meat off a chicken breast for a while and then? tuna in water for a while...then? REAL CAT FOOD..no different than kids and THEIR choices!    I do so feel bad for the 2 of you..it IS hard & you SHOULD HAVE SOME HELP, too!~ and here I sit..so far away & I can DO the shots & IV'S! which? I would cheerfully do for both your sakes..so?   take care..PRAYERS and RAINBOWS and HAPPIER DAYS... tho?  PS..with SUNNY'S REP on BITING & SCRATCHING?  GET GLOVES FOR YOU IF..you do have to DO the IV'S....don't take any more chances on becoming...skinless!!!  HUGS...SANDY24
