Does anyone have any positive experiences with a kitty that was diagnosed with kidney failure? Our kitty Patchy who is 6 yrs old was diagnosed via ultrasound today with kidney failure. She has been losing weight for a while now and we ran some blood work last weekend that showed MILDLY elevated kidney levels but nothing that was anywhere near alarming, but on ultrasound today her kidneys didn't even resemble kidneys.
The vet has sent us home with fluids as well as some Reglan to help with the vomiting. We are also going to try some canned K/D food but I am not sure she is going to like it.
I guess what I want to know is have any of you had a kitty that you thought would not make it through the kidney failure and has done remarkably well with the treatment? I am just curious, we have set an appointment for Saturday morning to have her euthanized if she doesn't respond well to this treatment and I hate to make the decision too early if there is hope for her.
Thank you for your time!
