My sister called and left me a message yesterday (without leaving her name, so I had to do a little digging to make sure it was her... called my dad), and said she'd call back later, which she didn't. So when I called my dad this morning I asked if she may have called me as well (she called him yesterday). He said it's quite likely about Snowball, her cat. She got him from her former roommates several months ago because he bonded with her more than them. He's about 9-ish. He's now at the vet with one failing kidney and possibly the second one as well. She knows I'm probably the most well informed family member about cats' health (thanks to these boards).
This is something new to me - kidney failure. What chances does Snowball have? What can she do to help him? Is there a Prescription diet food for him, even at this stage? Or is it just a matter of 'making him comfortable?'
She'll be calling me while she at our parent's house in an hour or so, though probably after breakfast. I'd just like to be able to tell her something. I can also refer her to this board via email later as well...
Thanks,
Amanda
