A sad, last update on Cheez-It. Things did not improve last night, so we went right to the vet as soon as it was open this morning.
The vet said his kidneys had just had too much loss, and with his decline so quickly after so many days of IV flushing, there was not anything else that they pull...

But the past two days, one of the kittens has been very lethargic. He has eaten/drank some, and used the litter box, but has not played at all. When you pick him...
