My parents' cat has been off-colour for some time but in the last few days has really gone downhill and the vet says she has kidney failure. She is a youngish cat (6) and he says he can treat her and she may recover, but if she does she will have to have a special diet, be on medication, and come in to the surgery for regular check-ups and (I think) injections.
I was just wondering if anyone has experience of a cat with kidney failure being treated like this, and if so, how successful was it?
My parents are very upset of course and desperately want to keep their moggie, but they wouldn't want to prolong her life if she won't have a good quality of life afterwards.
TIA for any comments!
