i took Max to the vet and yes after some blood work we found out he has kidney failure, most definately from the recalled food. he was visiting with my mom a week ago and she knows that i give him 2 whiskas packs a day because its his favorite treat.in anticipation of his visit she went to lablaws and picked up some of the presidents choice packages. after she found out PC was on the recall list she checked the dates on the packages and found that what she had was recalled. tomorrow morning he will be going back to the vets for 48hrs of IV treatment. im so upset. i dont know what to do, i feel helpless and im so mad. i love him so much. i just cant believe it.

It would be wise if you immediately consult the vet. I think that your cat is suffering from some intestinal problem and can be cured if matters are not serious. So if you want your cat to regain its healthiness, then immediately consult a vet.

It sounds like your cat has something blocking his digestive tract. If nothing is able to pass, he will not be able to poop-- thats why he isn't excreting. He is not eating because no food can go anywhere because of the digestive problem. It's good that he is drinking so he can stay hydrated but he needs to go to the vet as soon as possible, i dont think you should wait until tomorrow honestly. My cat had all the same signs and it was because he has swallowed a bead and it was blocking his whole digestive tract, the vet said we had gotten there just in time and waiting any longer could have costed him his life.
GOOD LUCK and take your kitty to the vet as soon as you can =) Please follow me up with the news and his diagnosis!!! THANKS!
