I got bad news today . The Vet said Kassey has kidney
failure. He said they were operating about 25%. And she
may go about 2yrs. like this.
I had to take her vial of blood to the local hospital. They
faxed the results to the Vet. When he came in to talk to
me,she hissed and blew while looking at him.
She came in messing with the blinds, just telling me what
she put in the litter box, poop and pee..happy Mom lol.
A lady was there and it was very hard to hold back the
tears as I was told that her dog died. I never saw her
beloved pet, but someone said it was in the car.
Oh NO! All our purrs are for Miss Kassey...renal failure can be managed quite well with diet and fluids; our Chuckles gave us a little over two years after his diagnosis, and he was an old kitty that had had a hard life until we found him. Hopefully Kassey will respond to treatment and you will have lots of time together still.
ReplyDeletepurrs and headbonks, xoxo
As Katnip Lounge said, Kassey can still have a good quality of life with the proper foods and fluids. My Robin was 16 when she passed and she had 2 1/2 good years after being diagnosed.
ReplyDeletePurrs and kissies and loves. Tell Kassey to hop in her tunnel and come on over.
Oh no! We are purring for Kassey. As KL said, it can be managed well. We have had several cats over the years that have developed it but gone on happily for several years after diagnosis. Two of the cats were sisters and lived until they were 23 and 24 years old.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters and I are all sending our very best purrs to you Miss Kassy. Like the others said, it can be managed and we'll all be her cheering you on sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this. Hug for you and mom Kassey. xx

We were sorry to hear about Kassey, but hope that with the proper treatment she will have a good quality of life for whatever time there is left for her.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear about Kassey. Our late Cinders who passed on recently survived for almost 2 years after being diagnosed with kidney problems on medication. Her one kidney had shriveled.

Still purring for you, Kassey!
