Thank you for your reply and the suggestions which I will implement. The sub qs are making a big difference. Although the vet labelled this kidney failure because of the high BUN and creatinine levels I wonder now if it actually is. I did a search and found that high BUN and creatinine levels can result from severe dehydration.Have you ever heard of this? Once I hydrated my cat, at first 120-180 ccs every 2 hours(he came back from 2 days of IV at the vet's severely dehydrated) and then lessening the amount every two hours as he became hydrated by judging the amount I gave to keep him slightly overhydrated by 15 percent, there was a remarkable turnaround in less than 48 hours. Thank you, again for your suggestions.
