My cat has kidney disease and is suffering. Is it time to say goodbye?

Question

My Cat is 3 years old with Kidney Disease and shes been in and out the Vet. They told me there is nothing they can do for her. I can't afford more vet visits but she just isn't right and I don't know what to do. She has good and bad days but lately there has been more bad then good. Do I wait and see if she gets better or does she need to be put down? She just looks uncomfortable. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old | 14 lbs

Hi and thanks for posting! 3 years old is very young to develop kidney disease. I am very sorry. Kidney disease can be acute or chronic (progressive). Acute can get better with hospitalization, chronic does not get better but there are medications and fluids that can help depending on what your vet has recommended. If nothing more can be done as told by your veterinarian for her kidney disease, then you may want to take about end of life care with your veterinarian, especially if she is having more bad days than good and she is uncomfortable. Best wishes to you and Zoe.
