She knew. Without a doubt she knew even at the end. I’m sure that you were a very good human to your girl. So sorry for your loss. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
I understand how hard this is for you. My wife and I went through this not that long ago. My wife was like, no more, I can’t do this again. Take your time and maybe, you can open up to another cat later. There are cats that need you.
Sorry, editing because I forgot to tell you that I’m sending positive thoughts your way. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
Thank you. It’s been incredibly difficult. A few times a day I tell myself “I can’t do this”. The pain is unbearable. I haven’t eaten in three days. I can understand why people decide to no longer keep animals after a loss. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
Hugs from an internet stranger. I love you 💕 😞 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
Your heart is huge. More than enough room to love the cat you lost and any new ones that might come along. But don’t rush it. Take your time. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
20 years is a blessing, but it’s still never nearly enough. My heart goes out to you. I do think we will see our babies again 🌈 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-07-08 |
It's never long enough. I wish they could live forever. Sending hugs. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-07-08 |

So sorry you lost your puss. I understand the heartbreaking that comes with it. Hope as the weeks go by you start to feel bit better. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-10-08 |
Hang in there! I realize this was 24 days ago…I’m new to Reddit. Are you feeling even slightly better? I realize that’s not much time. I also think just their very presence is missed so much.😢😢 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-30-08 |
So, we've recently been instructed to administer subq fluids at home. The thing is, bug REALLY doesnt like it, not at the vet and especially not at home. he needs 3 technicians just holding him down to get the fluids in and even still, he has to be pricked atleast 2-3 times. at home is another story, we haven't been able to administer a full 200ml yet in our 3 tries. Any advice on how to give a REALLY really fussy cat subq? thanks!! | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
I’m only going down the sub q route myself this week and my vet is coming to show us tomorrow. However, I’ve been researching on this sub and see a harness that helps mentioned a lot. Maybe do a search for that! Good luck. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Look up the EZ IV harness and either get one or make something similar at home with velcro straps.
That way he can move freely while he's receiving subq fluids, no restraint needed. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
Do a search on this sub and you’ll find a ton of advice and tips on sub-q’s. Best advice I can give from my experience is to find a spot where your cat is relaxed and set up for fluids there, then wait for the right moment.
I had the fluids set up beside the couch. I’d get the needle and line ready and make sure it was within reach. Then I’d settle in with a drink and a snack for a few hours of Netflix. Eventually he’d come over and fall asleep on me.
Once he was sound asleep, I could quickly poke him. That would wake him up but it would take a minute for him to notice the fluids going in (warming them up helps). If he started to fight, I’d stop the fluids and let him go. If I only got 50 mL in, I’d just try again the next day (goal was 150 mL every 3 days, and sometimes that meant 50 mL every day).
It was a time consuming way to do it but it became kind of a nice routine where I had an excuse to watch hours of TV without guilt, while spending quality time with my boy. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
This was life changing for me and my violently opposed cat | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |

I find when my kitty is sleepy its a bit easier to go to where she is and slip the needle in. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
yeah my dad wanted to buy the equivalent of a straightjacket for bug but we asked the vet about it and he said it'd probably be useless considering how much he kicks, he can move his legs out 😭😭😭😭 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
the thing is, he usually sleeps under my bed so dragging him out wakes him up :< and he gets annoyed if you wake him up. he makes sure to hide around the time he has to get subq fluids | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
good idea!! but some context i missed out, i hang his iv bag on a coat hanger and he gets his fluids on my desk. now, the thing is, this is a pretty optimal place to give him fluids (near an AC + coat hanger height and desk height is perfect).
he normally sleeps under my bed in another room, dragging him out from underneath a queen sized bed is difficult and he ends up getting annoyed (obvi), taking him to the desk and prepping everything gets him MADDD.
however, yesterday we came to a conclusion of just taking him to the vet with my own supplies to get his fluids. i know that it causes anxiety for cats but hes genuinely impossible to give fluids at home(i have to give him 200ml everyday so holding him down as one person for a while is difficult). ive tried having his food nearby as a distraction but if he stands up he'll slip the needle out 😭 we cant win!!!!!!! | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
I'm not sure if this is applicable/helpful or not but my CKD kitty is very small and she doesn't have much scruff to get the needles in her. We were doing injections for anemia and the vet found that it was hard to truly get in the proper sub q space for her and she would lose her mind if it wasn't in properly but soon as we figured out the angling and got it in right it was like nothing to her. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
Hello. My cat is 6 years old There is a third stage chronic kidney failure. We are having a big problem because he doesn't drink water. We constantly drink water with a syringe. But it's not enough. It has a container for water. We also placed it in different parts of the house. There is also flowing water. We add water to the wet food, but it doesn't drink enough. It is not enough for him to eat. What would you recommend for your appetite and encouragement to drink water? I'm very afraid of losing him and not getting enough for him. | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |
We did all we could baby, im so sorry you had to go. I’ll see you in the next life | r/renalcats | post | r/RenalCats | 2024-04-08 |

Our prayers and condolences to you. The pain you’re feeling now is the cost of letting him go. He is at peace, free from suffering this world, and hopefully that comforts you. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
He understands nothing lasts forever and our time is coming also. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
He is free of pain and suffering. That you tried means you are good, OP. Charlie was lucky to have you as a carer.
I had to make the same hard choice myself and i miss him daily. But you will be ok in time. Sending strength to help you through this time. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
Renal disease fu**ing SUCKS
we really tried everything but he was already stage 4 off the charts when he started showing symptoms. He was a tough little guy. We even had him checked on March. (General check, not blood tests) he might have gotten poisoned but it’s hard to understand how these things happen.
I hope your cats live a long life, thanks for the words of support | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
So sorry🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |

I'm so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a beautiful cat. Know this, he's no longer in any pain. He's eating, playing & napping now. One day after you depart, he will know that you too have arrived. He will come running to you & jump in your arms; while purring away. Tears of joy, you both shall shed. After that moment you both will be together, for all eternity. I hope knowing this will help soothe your soul somewhat. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |

Her name was Dutch. Not my choice. She lived to be 21. She was the sweetest gal. Loved everyone and wanted constant attention. Loved to be loved. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
When my kitty started showing signs of this it was when COVID had shut everything down. It started with urinating on furniture. Super strange. Then a lack of self grooming. It all happened very fast. One day she wanted to go into a restroom that we rarely use. The next morning I found her in there basically immobile. I called and called everywhere until I eventually got her vet to let us come in. I wrapped her in a blanket and brought her in. They were going to euthanize her but as they prepared for that... She passed. I'm very happy I was there holding her... Even though that moment sucked so bad. She knew she was not alone. The pain gave way to beautiful memories. Even if I could have "borrowed" more time for her... She wasn't going to be well ever again. I know I did the right thing. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-05-08 |
Sending you strength and peace, OP. I’ll ask my Gabe to look out for your Charlie. 💜 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-06-08 |
I said goodbye to my Charlie in June from CKD. The pain will lessen, but it'll never go away. I just had a good cry earlier this evening.

Sorry 😢 🐾🐾🌈 | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-07-08 |
I'm so sorry for your loss. Its absolutely devastating. We're going through the same thing, we had to put our little guy to sleep last Friday. He was only 2. We didn't notice any change in him until we found him in the garden paralysed in his back legs on 8th of July. He was able to walk again later in the day but it was clearly a very bad sign. He was diagnosed with kidney failure on 11th of July after being on IV treatment which didn't seem to make any improvement in him. He would only eat for us at home so we took him back, he slowly improved over the next few weeks actually and was enjoying life but by 1st of August he completely stopped eating and became so tired and thin. I called another vet as I knew what our vet was going to suggest euthanasia and I wanted another opinion - considering he was literally only 2! That vet found he was in end stage renal failure...he said due to his age and how quickly he declined, it was more than likely congenital. He was so frail we agreed to euthanasia and it haunts me even though I know if was best for him. We stayed with him until the last second.
I am torturing myself wondering if I just didn't notice the symptoms earlier. Or if I brought it on by not having enough water sources for him etc. All horrible thoughts, but deep down I know he was happy here, he loved curling up on our laps & snuggling with the dog in the colder months. We love and miss him beyond words. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-07-08 |
I'll also add that our boy had bloods done on March 25th and nothing showed up. I can't remember if they were testing for general bloods, I know they were looking for a hyperactive thyroid. (He was a very slim cat who could never put on weight) - he would get sick at least twice a year and they could never find out why, he just got antibiotics and got better. | r/renalcats | comment | r/RenalCats | 2024-07-08 |
Im so sorry for your loss. We also torture ourselves wondering why we didn’t notice before but it’s just too difficult. We also had him checked in March but they gave him general blood work, i wish we would have known and asked for renal check.( or they had offered)
Charlie had a water fountain, always had access to water, etc.
Its horrible how these things happen and how frail they really are and how out of our control everything is. Sending you my honest and deepest condolences and love, thanks for sharing and keeping us company in a way
