I loved her from the first minute I saw her. I knew she was special and meant just for me. No sharing this one with my hubby. My other kitties were jealous but soon learned she was here to stay. Rudy was what I called my bold protector. She was not afraid of any cat or dog. If she heard me scolding another cat she would run in and slap the kitty. My 3 large dogs were also afraid of her. If one would come running at me to fast she would jump in front of me to protect me and quickly turn them around. She could be in another room and if I stubbed my toe and cried out she would come flying in to see if someone was messing with her Mama. She was diagnosed with felv when she was spayed. I guess she was less than one year old. She was always healthy except she lost all her teeth but one early on so her tongue was always falling out her mouth. She was hard to please with food would only eat fancy feast and not much of that. Would beg for milk and throw it right up if I gave in and gave it to her. I still have know good answers as to why kidney failure. The Vet says it happens in older cats. She was not anemic, but she was running a low temp.

Re: Rudy - Angry
I'm so glad you took Rudy to another vet. You both are in my prayers.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm so angry with my vet. I took Rudy to another vet today because I thought it just did not feel right. My regular vet didn't do blood work. He knows she has felv so I thought that would be the first thing he would do. The second vet says her Kidneys have stopped functioning she has a low body temp and that the first doc didn't even clean her ears like he said he did. She was given fluids and more medicine, but the out look is not good. I will syringe feed her and take her back to the new vet in two days. I pray that it will turn around and maybe be just a kidney infection. Rudy is 13 years old and has always been a finicky eater. The doc says the staggering is weakness from not eating or drinking. Please keep us in your prayers. Sheila

Rudy came into my home 13 years ago and she has been the boss ever since. I was at my front door one cold night calling my other kitties home and this pretty little girl that I had never seen before ran in my door straight to my wash room jumped on my hot water heater and stayed there for 3 days. I loved her from the first minute I saw her. I knew she was special and meant just for me. No sharing this one with my hubby. My other kitties were jealous but soon learned she was here to stay. Rudy was what I called my bold protector. She was not afraid of any cat or dog. If she heard me scolding another cat she would run in and slap the kitty. My 3 large dogs were also afraid of her. If one would come running at me to fast she would jump in front of me to protect me and quickly turn them around. She could be in another room and if I stubbed my toe and cried out she would come flying in to see if someone was messing with her Mama. She was diagnosed with felv when she was spayed. I guess she was less than one year old. She was always healthy except she lost all her teeth but one early on so her tongue was always falling out her mouth. She was hard to please with food would only eat fancy feast and not much of that. Would beg for milk and throw it right up if I gave in and gave it to her. I still have know good answers as to why kidney failure. The Vet says it happens in older cats. She was not anemic, but she was running a low temp. I saw know signs of sickness till Sunday morning when she started to stumble when she stood up. Sorry to go on so long but I needed to say how much I'll miss her sleeping in my arms, loving me completely and unselfishly. Sheila

Re: Rudy - Gone
Sheila, I am so sorry. I am glad she had an easy passing. I am shocked to hear that she had FeLV from kittenhood and lived to be 13. I know it seems too short, and it is, but my hope for my positive cats, which I never dared to hope before, is now that they too will live to 13, and that they will pass as easily. Michelle
Re: Rudy - Gone
We need to hear stories of long-lived (though never long enough) FeLV+ kitties as much as you need to share Rudy's story. What a wonderful spirit she was and that sounds like the kind of passing I want for myself and all my loved ones - peaceful, safe.. I'm so sorry it was her time, but so very proud of you for giving a pushy little girl a home for so many wonderful years and allowing her to pass with dignity...

Please pray for my Rudy. She is felv+ but has always been healthy till Sunday morning she woke up and started to her water bowl I noticed she was staggering. I took her to the vet and he put her on baytril . He thinks she has an inner ear infection. She is getting worse she want eat or drink. She cries for me to hold her. I'm so afraid of losing her. I have lost many others that I loved, but Rudy is my soul mate. She is not responding to the antibiotics. I don't know what to do for her. Sheila

Re: Rudy
Sheila, Did the vet do bloodwork on Rudy? It's important to know exactly what you are dealing with and bloodwork is a good way to tell what might be wrong. Also, are you confident in your vet? Don't lose hope and don't panic. Rudy is depending on your strength right now.

Rudy - Angry
I'm so angry with my vet. I took Rudy to another vet today because I thought it just did not feel right. My regular vet didn't do blood work. He knows she has felv so I thought that would be the first thing he would do. The second vet says her Kidneys have stopped functioning she has a low body temp and that the first doc didn't even clean her ears like he said he did. She was given fluids and more medicine, but the out look is not good. I will syringe feed her and take her back to the new vet in two days. I pray that it will turn around and maybe be just a kidney infection. Rudy is 13 years old and has always been a finicky eater. The doc says the staggering is weakness from not eating or drinking. Please keep us in your prayers. Sheila

Sheila, I am so sorry the vet let you down. Thank God that you trusted your instincts and went to another. Don't lose hope for Rudy even though the vet said the outlook isn't good. Hopefully, the medicine will help Rudy quickly. What did the vet say was the problem? Have they gotten the bloodwork back yet? What did it say other than the kidneys weren't functioning.

Re: Subject: Rudy
Hi Shiela, What tests did your vet run to come up with an ear infection? It doesn't sound like anything was done as far as tests, just a guess that it is an ear infection was the problem. Was bloodwork done, does she have a temperature, are her gums pale (white instead of nice and pink)?? -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Rudy - Angry
Hi Sheila, There is a CRF group that can be of great help to you, you can check that group out here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FelineCRF/ This can be turned around if treatment is swift and correct. I'm pretty sure fluids (lots of fluids), is part of that treatment. Usually a diet change is also recommended. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Keeping the two of you in my thoughts and prayers, Sheila. How long has Rudy had felv? Michelle
Re: Rudy - Angry
Sheila, I belonged to the CRF list that Belinda mentioned, for 4 yrs. There's a wealth of good advice and information to be found there. Our 16 yr. old Casper was diagnosed with CRF and we very successfully treated him with subQ fluids for over 4 yrs. We also had to alter his diet - he was eating Waltham's Selected Protein with Chicken and Rice - which he did very well on. I sincerely hope that Rudy will be able to overcome this.
