Bit miserable about this at the moment - my little cat has been with me longer than either the OH or any of the ponies and although she's only 13/14 she's suddenly looking very old.
We started her on thyroid meds in Feb and she's put on weight but is still drinking a lot. The vet did say her thyroid could be masking kidney problems and I'm taking her back for more blood tests this month but its looking likely they were right.
For those of you who had cats with kidney disease how long could you manage it for? I promised her a good life, not a long life and although she's still out hunting around the garden every night I don't want her to be in pain and I know how stoic they can be.
