Have you been doing subcutaneous fluids? Forgive me if you have been doing this already, but it makes the hugest difference with kidney failure. Cats can live for years, until quite old, with kidney failure on fluids. There is a really helpful yahoo group for CRF with cats who have lived for

Yes, I have done that. He also is Hyper-T was on meds for that. I'm surprised that he has made it this far. He was in such poor shape when I got him that my Vets ask me if I was sure about this. I forgot to mention too, all his teeth were bad and if we would have put him in surgery to have

Untreated Kidney failure is very hard on cats and they won't eat because they are nauseated, but once the subq's start making them feel better they get their appetites back, also pepcid would help with the nausea and tummy acid. The subq's really need to be done daily if the kidney failure
