Hello everyone!
Bad News: Yesterday was Rambler's Gotcha Day and it was also the day he was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure. Sad day. He may also have a kidney infection because the vet said his kidneys were swollen or it could even be lymphoma. He was given fluids, mirtazapine (for appetite) and Convenia (antibiotic injection). He isn't eating very much, but he is eating. He's lost a lot of weight. We are taking it day by day. Tomorrow he goes back in for fluids and a recheck. After this appointment, I will probably be administering the fluids at home.
Please purr, pray, send vibes, etc... Thank you!
Good News: Saylor is doing great on her Prozac! Her fur is growing back in nicely... though it looks to be coming in gray. No fur, gray fur, black fur...she is still the most beautiful girl! I will try to get some updated photos of her to post soon.

Happy Gotcha Day to Rambler. But we're sorry he's got CRF. We're purring for him. We just found out Ernie may be in the very early stages of it. :(
And we're glad Saylor is doing better now.
We are sorry to hear this, and know from experience the sadness and worry this can bring. We know Rambler is in fantastic hands and will get all he needs. Renal failure can go up and down, and our paws are firmly crossed for him.
It is most excellent news about Salem.

My name is Charlie Rascal and I saw on CB that Rambler needed some (((purrs)))so here I am sending a lot of (((purrs)))
Rambler, we sure send you tons and tons of purrs that you can bounce back and feel better. We also have all our paws crossed for you. And glad to hear that Saylor is getting her hair back. Did you get the Prozac from the vet. I have two cats that are very nervous and tear their hair out. Not as bad as Saylor though. Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way Rambler.
We are sending heavy duty healing purrs and extra good vibes to Rambler.
All the Woofies in my pack have their paws crossed and joined for Rambler. Feel better soon, buddy!
I'm very sorry Rambler has CRF. I've been giving our Tommie fluids twice a week for 8 months now. He lost 2 pounds and wasn't eating back then. He's eating well but still skinny now. Tanya's website on CRF is a wealth of information on handling the disease. There's no cure, but we can manage CRF.
Email if I can help.
Purrs,
Maggie
Sending and sharing our purrs, prayers and hugs.
The Tomcat Home has a purr-circle going for Rambler.

We've got our purr motors all fired up and going for dear Rambler. We believe in the power of the purr. Kisses to both Rambler and Saylor from all of us.
Cory and family
Purrs and loads of love headed your way, sweet Rambler!
Purring for Rambler. Chica went another year with daily fluids. What are you giving Rambler for the CRF? They are prone to kidney infections and bladder infections with CRF. Yoko got them often and had a serious one that took 4 weeks on strong antibiotics to get over. You might need to go that route if the injection doesn't help. Email me if you want to chat or would like more info on what I gave Yoko ad Chica for CRF.

Sending big purrs and prayers Rambler's way and keeping you all in our thoughts. (Glad to hear that Saylor is doing better.)
I'm so sorry Rambler is ailing. I've had many cats go through kidney failure so I know what it is like. They do respond to regular fluids in some cases though so I'm praying for Rambler.
I'm so sorry to hear about Rambler. CRF is such a hard disease for everyone. Please try not to lose hope. My Jewel was diagnosed with CRF 15 months ago, and she is still fighting.
Let me know if there is anything I can do. I'll be sure to visit your blog often now that I know it's here :)
Purrs, hugs, and prayers,

We are sending big purrs to Rambler. Fyi, our Lucy had chronic renal failure for several years before it became acute, so there IS hope. Paws crossed that you caught it in time.
I'm SO GLAD that Saylor is filling in with her furs. Do send photos when you can.
