Another topic that concerns me a lot are my two cats.
Both animals will be 16 years old this spring, so they are already real seniors.
But while the lady cat Artemis goes about her day safe and sound, the old man cat Arsene is deteriorating visibly.
The veterinarian determined that he had kidney failure.
It cannot be reversed. One can only see that the kidneys and other organs are spared and the old man can still have a good life until his kidneys finally fail.
So that dehydration is stopped for the time being, I decided to give him an IV. Liquid was added to him for three days.
It helped a little.
He looks better, cleans himself up again and even eats the new kidney protective lining.
Unfortunately he has become more aggressiv.
Not to me or Dorian, but to his sister and strangers.
Even a friend's dog was beaten up.
I didn't even know that from my gentle old man.
cat,
kidney failure
