Milo is not doing well. He took a turn for the worst a week or so ago. He has lost weight and is very skinny. On the weekend I didn't think he would make it the night and had the emergency vet on standby, directions, number...everything ready and I called them. He wasn;t eating Friday or Saturday. But Sunday evening he got better. We decided to get a vet to do a home visit. We tried to arrange it for Monday night because we don;t want him to suffer. With my two previous CRF cats many years ago, one I always wondered if I let go too soon, and then next year with the other one I waited too long and one morning he had the most terrible convulsions, so I hed him through that and then took him to vet and let him go to be with his brother.
Since Monday he has continued to eat, though I have sit on the floor and basically hand feed him. He is on appetite enhancers and antacids. I still use aluminium hydroxide and we are up to 300mls of fluid a day. So tragically he doesn't have many days left but he is still hanging in there. I will remain so grateful for the extra months...nearly a year he got after his diagnosis in January that he had 2 weeks to 2 months to live.

Milo is very brave and you too Yasmin.
There are still too many days left that you can't count.
Thank you for your blog. I just found out my 9 year old Calico has CRF. We give her Sub q's every day, but she just recently stopped eating. We are at a loss. She was only diagnosed a few days ago. I wish you the best!
Thank you so much for sharing Milo with us. You are very brave. I am in tears. My 12yr old Siamese has just been diagnosed with CRF. I have made notes from your blog. head spinning. Even worse we are going on holidays (can't cancel) for 2 weeks. What to do.
