Is it possible for my cats to have acute kidney failure that can go away or do they most likely have chronic kidney failure that is uncurable?

No, it does not go away and not curable. It is fatal! Sorry to hear your poor kitty will not make it.

Some vets may claim it's curable but I think it's for the money or science.My Siamese had chronic acute kidney failure and my vet had us to take her to a teaching school 5 hours away, twice. I wanted to put her down because of the pain but my husband couldn't. Our cat lived 2 months and cost $5,000. She had diabetes that a prior vet did not find which caused the kidney failure.

I had a cat that had acute kidney failure and she had to be put to sleep. I am sorry to tell you this, but I still miss her and it has been almost 7 years since the vet said that she was in pain and it would be best for her.

Acute kidney failure can be treated, but if it is chronic, it is unlikely that they will get better. The most important thing is to take your cat to the veterinarian immediately if clinical symptoms appear.

at this point its not curable, and they can't do transplants. but cats do better with kidney failure than dogs. after diagnoses, they can live on for several years quite happily, but it requires daily fluids, on an IV, u kno, u have to hook them up for a few minutes. this makes them feel better, it flushes out their kidneys(since kidney failure means that the kidneys can't do it themselves)

not curable except with a transplant - that's what i know. Effects can be mitigated and the cat's life prolonged for a few months by treatment, but without a transplant, it is fatal.

well some vets claim its curable but your going to get yourself into some serious financial and emotional woe the kindest course would to be take care of you cat until it is in pain from it and then have it put to sleep sorry bout that

I am sorry to hear about you cats. Your best bet is to talk to a good vet and seek his/her advice. I wish you all the best.
