Dawn, glad she is home with you again. Regarding the Famotidine (Original Strength Pepcid AC) what dose did the vet recommend. For kitties with compromised kidneys the general starting dose is 2.5 mg EOD (every other day). I don't remember how old Marcy is. The older the kitty the longer it takes for the Famotidine to clear their system. To much Famotidine will also cause nausea.
You might want to bookmark this site. www.felineCRF.org It has a wealth of info on kidney disease. Better to start educating yourself now before Marcy is in a crisis mode. There are several option for kidney diet foods - both canned and dry. Your regular vet will have more info. I don't want to scare you but there are real advantages to treating kidney issues early.

Macy came home from the hospital yesterday and is feeling better, but not great. They never found the source of her fever but put her on an antibiotic (ClavaMox), as well as Famotidine for her tummy. We're to give her each twice a day for a week. They did find that one of her kidneys is on the small size of normal and the other is tiny so she'll have to have urine tests more often. Because of the kidney issue, they've put her on a senior diet so she'll get more fiber and less protein. We see her regular vet later this week. Would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions.
