Not good news.  She had a follow-up blood taken after her 3 days on a drip, although her toxins came down quite well with that they've now increased back to higher than before - her creatine level before the drip was 500 (high end normal is 120), on tuesday it was 600.  The vet's suggested doign an ultrasound and then maybe a biopsy, but I'm going to have her PTS tomorrow night.

Given that I'm moving 5 hours away on Saturday, I don't want her to have to go through an ultrasound, possible biopsy, long drive to a totally strange place and 3 days in a boarding cattery (and she's never been boarded) - and probably all in vain as her prognosis isn't good anyway.  The toxins have risen despite her being on solely renal diet food - which she's barely eating.  It's not that she doesn't want to - I had absolute hell yesterday trying to keep her away from my scone :D - but the food isn't tempting enough when she's already feeling nauseous.  So I've got my last work placement day tomorrow, then a few hours with her at home before we take the trip.

Oh I am sorry to hear this :( Enjoy the time you have left with her and hope she has a safe and painfree journey :)

I'm so sorry it's come to this. :( Poor little cat. She's lucky to be loved so much that you'll let her go and not cause her distress. Thinking of you.

I'm really sorry. :( And I applaud you for putting your cat first -I know too many people that would put their OWN feelings first. Good on you, that is a true animal lover. HUGS.

You are doing the most loving thing that you could possibly do for this little cat - she won't suffer anymore than she absolutely has to!

Give her lots of fuss and hugs tonight - and you will be able to remember her with love and pride.

The right thing to do is almost always the thing that is hardest for us :(
