Hi Tammy,

Even though Pookey is doing very well for a cat of his age, I totally understand the heaviness you are feeling. I have had several cats with CRF and it's never an easy thing to deal with.

One of my cats who was diagnosed with kidney disease at 17 lived to be 19 and never realy got sick from her kidney issues. I lost her to a stroke, which just happened to be a week after she had very decent lab results. You just never know........

One of my present cats has very high numbers (BUN of 138, creatinine of 12) and has been doing very well. Even with the major stress of surviving a house fire 6 weeks ago and having to relocate. So, even very high numbers does not necessarily mean that the cat will be gone in a short time.

So many things can happen with kidney disease.

As always, I send GLOW and good wishes to you and Pookey.

Regards,
PHKitkat
