No they don't recover from kidney issues and normally I don't let the vets do all the crazy invasive treatments either. Doc always agreed with me that 99% of the time they don't work. I cannot fathom how the animal feels and you can't explain to them that torturing them at the vets like that is good for their 'health'.

There was a marked improvement this morning! He's up, head up now too and he's talkative again! Still sapped of energy but he is eating as much as he can and was happy to have Goliath give his ears a good cleaning this morning!

Twistie, you're right about how tough they are. We thought we were going to lose Thing 1 last summer. She went absolutely yellow on us and literally lost weight overnight. It was the food. Mom gave me a bag of some really "good" (good meaning by the ingredient list) cat food that hers wouldn't touch. Turned out that shit sucked the life out of her and some of the others had a hard time with dehydration too. She was given medication for weeks but she's back to being fat, sassy and always on my lap again.

They are tough creatures, yet delicate at the same time.
