My Styx Kitty Is Very Sick And May Be Dying, Please Send Him Positive Thoughts. Thank You! Options

[AngelCareOne]

I'll try to make it brief at this time since I'm keeping 24 hour watch on him. Styx, named after the band and not the "evil river," just turned 13 years old on September 10. That is if he was born in 1996 and not earlier. Can't recall and can't find his papers. Still, pretty sure I'm right and I am positive his birthday is September 10th. He was 5 months old when he chose me, I took him home and he went to work straight away at being so sweet, affectionate and precious.

All started about a week ago with him manifesting symptoms. The Emergency Vet feels it's more likely to be kidney disease or failure and not diabetes as I strongly suspected at first. Crisis was late morning of November 12th and I'll tell you later what happened. Not all tests are in yet but if it's kidney disease or failure, not much of a chance if any at all.

Please send positive vibes to Styx kitty that at least he's not in pain and won't suffer. If you're one who prays, we'd be very grateful for that, too. Remember, Angels Breathe!

God Bless and Many Kind Thanks!!!

Always,

Please Hang In There Styx Kitty!!!

You are so Loved!!!

Oh My Gosh! Beginning about 15 minutes ago or a little more ... I heard Styx kitty drinking so I went to his litter to make sure it was clean. There was a lot of urine so I began to scoop it out as Styx walked to his litter pan. He let me continue scooping while he peed and ...

Oh My Gosh! That cat peed like a large dog. I am serious. A hard, fast flow and a whole, whole lot of pee. Between what I'd scooped while he was there and what he'd just done, I had scooped out way more than half his litter. Again, I am serious ...

Then I heard him go back and drink a whole lot more water as I replenished his litter with new from the box. I'd barely finished when he came back to his litter and I thought he was going to pee some more. But, no. One could tell he was straining badly and he only made five tiny hard little poops. Very tiny. Then back to his water to drink a lot, lot, lot. Then back to this litter where he just sat by the box ...

I didn't know why, so I went ahead and scooped out those 5 teeny tiny hard poops ...

That made Styx happy because he stepped into his litter pan and began straining again.

I have got to get him some cat laxative. One doesn't need a prescription. Anyway, he did one small poop but it looked normal and was much larger than those tiny five which were so hard. This time it was normal consistency ...

Then back to his water, back to his kibbles, then ... He just stopped, turned around ... Back to his water and drinking more and more and more and lots and lots and lots ... This cat is drinking way, way, way too much water. Oy!

Me thinks we're taking a trip to the Vet when they open or sooner if this keeps up ...

Ut oh. He's howling. I'm off to see to him. Will keep you posted ...

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Oh please do keep us posted Dottie, sounds like he should be seen to I think. Could he be diabetic as well? Thinking of you and Styx and sending you love and hugs.
