Did you know that approximately 16 of 1000 cats develop kidney disease? Neither did I. It can be genetic, the result of ingesting a toxin (anti-freeze, ibuprofin, plant materials among others), or old age (8 or so and older).
After fighting hard for 4 days, we lost our baby Lucy 10 days ago. She was only 5 1/2. So it had to be genetic. The vet was wonderful, but after 4 days of treatment her kidney function readings were worse than at the beginning. We made the difficult choice to have her euthanized.
If your cat that was healthy and energetic yesterday is lethargic and mopey today, not eating or drinking or eliminating, get them to the vet right away.
