I took my 13 year old kitty into the vet for her yearly check up, and because she had been chewing at the fur on her tummy. The blood test, however, indicates that she is suffering from renal failure--further ultrasound scans are booked for next week to see if this is acute or chronic, and now she's on special food, antibiotics, potassium, and a tablet that it supposed to increase the amount of protective fluids around her organs and keep her blood pressure under control. One vet is telling me that it could be mere weeks to a couple months before I lose her, whilst a few vets I know with rescue groups say that it could be years.
My kitty is a little on the skinny side, but otherwise healthy and active for a 13 year old!
Has anyone out there had experience with this sort of thing? Any advice that could help me? I'm absolutely devastated; I can't bear the thought of losing her so soon.
