Oh my oh my oh my

Sad sad sad sad.
Prinnie: Helpp help help
mommie can not deal with this . . . .

The vet lady called and told us the results of the tests they did on Caesar last week Wednesday.
Caesar has the following:
Kidney Disease.

He already has been diagnosed with heart murmur a few years ago.
So, now mommie and Caesar and Blizzie are going to the vet lady next Wednesday to learn how to give Caesar fluids with an injection everyday, and give him meds and special foods.

Mommie is freaking out.
Mommie is freaking out.
Mommie is freaking out.

her heart is breaking. I wish she would stop crying. It is giving me a headache!

Oh! Poor Mommie! I can imagine how upset she must be. Kidney disease is a tough illness for kitties.

Tell Caesar that I am thinking of him and hope he gets thru this adjustment just fine.

I know you;ll watch over him for us.

I am very sorry that Caesar has kidney disease. Caesar is a very brave boy, so I know he will be able to handle this. My Mommie says giving subcutaneous fluids is not too hard, so try not to be too nervous about it (she does it all the time at the shelter).

Pixie and I are thinking of you, and sending hugs and purrs.

Oh, sad news! But have hope! Our mom had a kitty before us with kidney disease. She had to give her fluids every day, but she lived several years with that treatment. She didn't go over the bridge until she was 23 years old! So hang in there, Caesar & Mommy and think positive!

By the way, our kitty loved getting her fluids. She would just crawl up on Mom's lap and nap through it.

Fat Eric said...

Ohh, I am sorry to hear that Caesar is not well. But, like the other kitties said, there are other cats living with this disease and doing well for ages with the right treatment. Be hopeful, I am sure your vet will help you to figure out the right treatment.

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

Parker said...

Aw, we are so sorry! Mommy wants to say something now .Hi Caesars Mommy. Parker's Mommy here. I hope this might make you feel better, there are a lot of things that can be done for your precious boy, I am sure your Vet will instruct you as to what they are. As for the Sub Q fluids, I give them to kitties all the time at the shelter, and once you get the hang of it, it can be a very special time between you and Caesar. He can sit on your lap while you give them. Most of the kitties love the attention. It doesn't hurt them and they feel so much better after they get the fluids. It's really harder on you 'cause you are doing something new and strange and frightening to your beloved kitty. Kitties can live many years with Kidney disease.
We're here for you - and Caesar and Prinnie and Blizzie. Remember, he's with you now and that's the most important thing! Lots of love, you will be in our prayers!
Parker, Puff, Powder, Rudy and the Mommy.

OHHH NOOOOO! We do not like this news! But we are thankful that Ceasar has a Mom that will love him through this!

Phoebe said...

I'm really sorry to hear about your kidneys, Caesar. I sure hope that you feel much better with the fluids.

Gattina said...

Sad news ! that's really the weak point with cats sooner or later it's always the kidneys. But I hope that Prinnie feels much better with the injections although it must be very hard for your mum to do that every day. But what wouldn't we do for our little darlings !

Samantha & Mom said...

Oh, Caesar, we are purring and purrayering for you and your Mom and Princess, too. Take the medicine like the brave kitty you are. We will keep you in our prayers.

MaoMao said...

Awwwwww, ((((((Caesar and Prinnie's momma)))))) I'm so sorry Caesar has kidney disease, but I know you, his momma, will help him get through this, and it sounds like from what everykitty has said that it's furry, furry treatable.

Hang in there, and know we're thinkin' about you. We Ballicai love you guys and we're sendin' all of you humongous hugs and big ol' purrs.

We're sorry to hear that. Sending healing purrss to Caesar, and {{huggss}} for all of you from all of us.

C & P's Mommie - you have a long weekend. Freak out for a while if it makes you feel better. :-)

Zoey and the furballs said...

We're furry sorry to hear this. Is it acute or chronic? I had acute and my test results are better now. I still get IV fluids about twice a week (I used to get them everyday). Mommy and Daddy trade off who gives them to me, but they say it's pretty easy. I don't have to take the medicine anymore, which Mommy says is a good thing because I didn't like taking it and would spit it out several times. I still have to eat the special food. Mommy freaked out quite a bit too so she understands how your Mommy feels. She says hang in there and if your Mommy needs anything, we're here for her.

Dragonheart, Merlin, Devi, and Chloe said...

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this. *hugs* Caesar, I am sending lots of healing purrs your way and keeping you in my prayers.

Rosemary and Prinnie, lots of hugs and purrs to you. The good news is that cats can live with chronic renal disease for many years. There are some wonderful resources on the web and some great support groups to, if you are interested.

Please take care of yourself and know that we are all thinking of you, praying for Caesar, and sending lots of purrs your way.

Tara said...

Oh Caesar, I so sorry to hear this! Be brave, your mom loves you very much, and you will feel so much better getting the fluids.

Rosemary, Mom and I are sending you lots of purrs and good thoughts. You can do this, your precious kitty depends on it. Be brave.

Caesar and Prinnie, I know you are very worried right now over Caesar, so only if you want to, I have tagged you for a meme. It might be sometime to take your mind off of your worries for a short period of time.

Forty Paws said...

We're sorry to hear that Caesar has been diagnosed with Kidney Disease. As many people have already said, kitties can live a long time now with the proper diet, meds and sub-q fluids. And giving sub-q fluids isn't difficult once you get the hang of it. And it does perk the guys up a lot.

One thing you might consider if you haven't already, is putting more litter boxes around the house so that Caesar doesn't have to travel as far to find one. Some cats will start going in inappropriate spots when they have kidney disease, or when they start getting all that fluid pumped into them.

Jake and Bathsheba said...

We are so sorry to hear that Caesar has kidney disease. Our big Maine Coon cat sister Precious got kidney disease when she was 18 and our mom gave her those fluids subcutaneously daily. Our mom is NOT medically oriented (not a natural nurturer--never had human babies), but she learned to use a needle for her beloved Precious. She lived to be 19. She was wonderfully tolerant of her treatment and sometimes would even purr during those private times with Mom.

Mom has a friend who had a kitty who lived about five or six years on those fluids, so please don't despair!

Purrs,
J&B
