You all know my kitty (my baby) has been really sick for the past month and a half. He is only five years old and he has been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. We believe that he got into some glycol when we were having some work done on our house in January. Glycol is like antifreeze. Antifreeze is very dangerous to kitties. Usually within hours of exposure they die. Lucky for us that didn't happen. It wasn't until I got back from San Francisco that I had realized that there was something seriously wrong with him. After many tests, vet stays and ultrasounds they determined that his kidneys have been seriously damaged, and probably won't repair themselves, so his body has to work with a lower kidney function. Kidney damage in kitties also causes anemia, so we are treating that as well. I am being optimistic and hoping for the best.
By telling you this: I hope that if you ever have any work done on your house where chemicals are used make sure they are okay for your children or your pets to be around. God forbid if a human baby had ingested this poison.
(this photo was taken last fall...he is much skinnier now, by about 5-7 pounds. )
