Hi everyone,
I know many of you are going to disagree about the decision I made for my cat and I don't blame you. The vet said he is only one level above being normal in his kidney function. He and my other cat absolutely refused to eat the prescribed medication and they were losing weight so I caved and gave them their regular food back. The next step is a feeding tube. I don't want to do that for many reasons, money being one of them. I don't want him to spend the rest of his life being fed through a tube. So I have decided to let nature take it's course. He is doing much better now, eating and drinking and the vomiting has stopped. If he gets worse and starts to lose weight again I will probably have him put to sleep. He has lived a good, long and happy life with us and I just don't want to have him suffer any more than necessary. It will be a sad day but I will get through it somehow.
