[quote=Anonymous]OP here. We finally have a diagnosis. It's kidney stones. Diet is implicated, but not because the food we've been giving them has gone bad. Apparently, some cats are just genetically predisposed to stones. Regular food makes the problem worse. Vet says we need a surgery costing $6,000 to $8,000 for full recovery. That's in addition to the almost $5,000 we've spent on supportive and emergency care. We're just not in a position to pay for that. We're hoping we can stabilize and then manage with a special diet and meds. Not sure how much time that will buy us. Pretty bummed. In good news, our Tom seems to be recovering from whatever was bothering him. He's eating Purina Cat Chow with greens for now. We're probably going to try and get him on the special kidney diet too tho, since he's our sick cat's kitten and the stones run in families.[/quote]
