I see you double posted. I've alerted the moderators to merge the two threads so that everyone can answer you in one place.
Maybe I missed something, but is she also on an antibiotic for the infection?? I assume she is staying at the vet for the IV Fluids? If she responds to the fluids, please know that you can continue to give her fluids at home, to keep flushing her kidneys. They are administered subcutaneously (under the skin), it's a little scary at first (nobody likes needles) but most cats are fine with them. I've been giving my cat sub-Q fluids for over a year now for his CKD.I am waiting for her kidneys to respond positively to the IV Fluid Treatment. I am on a two day plan for her treatment. After that, I'm not sure what will happen. I feel very lost.
Thank you for your response. Yes, she is receiving antibiotics and I’m just waiting to hear from the vet. I’m wondering if I should take her home after 2 days of IV or if I should continue her on the vets treatment ?Just came onto this post because my cat has stage 4 kidney disease, and thought I could offer up some help.
I understand her acute kidney failure is due to infection, how is she today?

I hope your kitty doing well, keep us updated. I'm thinking of both of you!
