Although I am sure your vet is doing everything in her power for this wonderful cat, I would encourage you to seek a second consult with a feline specialist if you have one in the area. Your vet can even do this through teleconferencing and the Internet, sharing notes and test results on file with the person, and all you pay is a consulting fee and a phone call.
When my horse foundered and my vet was shaking his head and telling me that there was little or nothing we could do, and chances were bleak for Race to recover, I refused to accept that. I had 4 vets out to look at him, 2 farriers, one that specialized in founder- which is ironic to me right now, because no one even really knows why founder happens. But at any rate no one conventionally could help me so I went holistic.
The point is, sometimes when an animal is critical, a fresh pair of eyes is sometimes key to a survival that at this point may not happen. I would at least talk to your vet about this possibility. If you can get the A/D canned food and dribble some gravy over the top of it for Dylan would at least be getting some substantial nutrients his depleted body needs.
