A quick update… we took Chunk into the vet. His kidneys were in full on failure mode. Blood test showed values off the charts. His only hope was going to be staying in the clinic for 3 days with an IV. We decided against that and she sent us home with some fluids to put in him. She said kidney failure is quite painful for cats and that this would ease his discomfort.
Well, over the weekend he has improved quite a bit. He is eating and drinking regularly and seems to be getting around ok. He curled up with me on Saturday for a little nap and has been out and about quite a bit. Even though the end must be inevitable, it is nice that he isn’t so sick right now.
