Ck is home after a week of intensive care at the vet clinic. As I suspected, his kidneys are failing. His bloodwork and urinalysis showed highly elevated kidney values, so on Monday the vet called me and said he felt the situation was critical.
He got IV fluids 24/7 and they started him on a new diet--strictly kidney-friendly prescription food. He is happy to be home, and I hate, hate, hate that I have to take him back after the weekend. The vet is hoping this is acute kidney failure, due to an infection or something, and not chronic renal failure, which is terminal. So, we'll test his blood and urine again next week, and have a better idea.
