My 11yo Lola was hospitalized for 4 days after not eating and looking lethargic. It was discovered her L kidney is very small and has end stage CKD. Her R kidney is great, but there is a small stone in her ureter. This wasn't picked up on yearly labs because of how well her R kidney is doing. She spent 4 days in the hospital getting fluids/medications and her kidney values returned to normal very quickly. The stone didn't move, but she began eating again.
She's pretty sedated, which they told me was normal. She had to have a lot of sedation while in hospital because she's kind of spicy. She ate immediately upon arriving home (new food, Hill's k/d tuna stew.. man, does it smell gross) and used the litter box.
This morning I was able to give her 60 ml of lactated ringer's solution no problem (have to do that for 10-14 days) probably because she's still loopy. She's also on buprenorphine for pain for a few days and amitriptyline for her bladder/the stone.
She has eaten almost a whole can of wet food today as well as munched on some dry. She’s still very sleepy but a bit more alert than yesterday.
Thank you for your support and love from my first post, Lola and I so appreciate it. If anybody has any advice, words of wisdom, etc I’d really appreciate it. I will do anything to keep her healthy longer.

I really can’t bear the thought of it. Meffy gets very scared and stressed out being alone there I’m worried she won’t eat at all.
