[quote=Anonymous]Op, sorry to hear your cat is going through this. I know you refused blood work and your vet seems to think your cat is close to end stage but please know that this can be a manageable disease. My cat was diagnosed with kd 5 years ago and has been stage III for the past couple years. I had no idea there was anything wrong until one day he refused to eat and was throwing up and very lethargic. I also thought he was in his end stages and took him to the ER and multiple vets. If your cat is still throwing up and refusing to eat it's worth it to ask your vet to prescribe anti nausea medicine. Also, the vet recommended we give our cat a quarter tablet of Pepcid AC. We ended up giving him the anti nausea, Pepcid ad and mirtazapine (an appetite stimulant) and it worked wonders. The key is to get him eating again. Once he started eating again he bounced back quickly. we administer subq fluids 2x a week and he is otherwise a normal cat.[/quote]
