My 5 year old cat that I have had since he was 8 weks, is suffering from renal failure and has been since January of this year. He gets SubQ fluids every other day, but HATES the treatment. He has been hostile with the vet and the techs since day one and I can't say I blame him. Thing is, is that I know he will never get any better than where he's at right now, his levels have finally stabalized. He eats, drinks and plays fine, but is not what he used to be. He was always a very active and playful cat. You can tell he "tries", I think for me, but when you look at him you know he is not feeling well. He can't jump as high as he used to. I'm stuggling with letting him go. I know he will never get "cured" from this, he is stuck with it. My first cat had to be put down from renal failure and I can't bear to go through it again, esp. since he's so young. My other cat has been sleeping close to him like she knows their days together are numbered. I know I need to let him go. Please help.
