Our Dusty just turned to 16 years old last month. A very lovely girl. We adopted her one year ago. In the first week she joined our family, we got to know she had chronicle kidney failure and chronicle bowel disease.
In the middle of this January, her creatinine number was 5.8. The doctor kept her at the vet for SQ and the number dropped to 4.8 the next day. Then we were asked to take her home and do SQ at home, 100ml / three times a week.
One month later we had her reexamined. The cre returned to 5.8.
This Monday (3/15) Dusty was examined again, The cre was 7.7. The doctor suggested us increasing the SQ to 100ml/ five times a week.
We did some research online. Many said 7.7 is way too high and we should have our kitty hospitalized for intensive treatments asap. But this certainly is not our doctor's recommendation.
Dusty behaves and eats normally. Generally have good appetite, drinking a lot of water. But some said with this cre level she may die at any second.
We are very worried but don't know what to do. Really hope our girl can go through all this. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.
