Feline CRF
For years our cat has had minor kidney problems caused by high blood pressure. Medication controlled her blood pressure so her kidneys worked fine. Recently, she truly went into chronic renal failure (CRF). We give her subcutaneous fluids once a day to support her kidneys, medicine to control her blood pressure, phosphorus levels, and stomach acid, and feed her using a syringe. It's a lot of work but it keeps her pretty comfortable and stable. She still lets G. pet her and even played with G. and a pink cellophane hula skirt yesterday.
