[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 704881, member: 1963"] Sorry to hear about your kitty. Renal failure is the #1 killer of cats right now. We've gotten so good at treating/preventing other illnesses that they are living long enough for their kidneys to wear out. Thomas' kidneys are still OK, which is good as he will only eat dry food, which is weird as nearly all cats prefer canned food. His bloodwork is actually pretty good, given his age. So far the only symptoms of his heart and lung issues are a slight heart murmur, slightly lessened endurance, and the occasional cough. He is not on medications for those now that the infection has cleared up. He is arthritic, though, and is on pain medications as needed for that. Squeaky just keeps on tootling along. Bloodwork is fine, etc. Only thing with her is protecting her remaining eye. ANY irritation/infection, etc., is an emergency. So far, so good. Thomas seems to be slowly losing his hearing, but I am not 100% sure how much of that is selective hearing, LOL. [/QUOTE]
