three episodes of UTI/cystitis symptoms, but bloodwork came up clear and she’s not got signs of a urinary blockage, and has been doing hairball-y vomits every day or so.

It just sucks. Sure there’s nothing coming up so far, but she’s just not right and making her go in and out of the vets is a lot of stress on her, and gf is getting so stressed that she may be imminently dying.

We’re booking her to the vets next week to get an xray. We could know more then or be back at square one. Thank fuck insurance has been happy to pin it all on the same condition.

  • Give them lots of scritches from me please. Chronic kidney disease took our kitty earlier this year, about a year after being diagnosed. But I know lots of people with cats who have lived for decades with the condition. Just give them all the love you can while you can meow-hug - they look like really good kitty cat

    my oldest furbaby passed away the other month and he looked A LOT like yours.

    i’ve been wondering to myself since then if i should have acted sooner and i intellectually know that that there’s nothing you can do to reverse renal failure, but emotionally i have to wonder if more aggressive intervention would have bought me more time with him.

    enjoy her as much as you can while you still have here.

    rip my sweet angel.

        it’s taught me to feed all of my furbabies a wider variety of foods; my younger ones will not die in the same way.
