I'm after a little advice.
I have an aged cat (14.5) who went to vets over Xmas with dodgy eye. Turned out to be a tooth absess which caused an ulcer on his eye due to the infection. He only has one eye so we've been in and out of blooming vets to remedy it.
Absess now gone but ulcer was proving difficult to shake. They did blood tests which have shown kidney disease.
Of course vet has gone off about this and that. Specialist food, meds and on going treatment.
They did want to remove tooth but im not keen on that due to age and ability to cope with sedation.
I'm so unsure what to do with the kidney aspect. Of course I want him to be around for ever. But I don't want to enter into a course of expensive treatment if its not going to make a huge difference. Does that sound awful?
He is in good health about from that. Eats and drinks. Stays in apart from quick foray out to the garden.
It's unknown territory to me so any advice or thoughts is greatly appreciated. Is specialist meds and food the only way?
I did suspect there was something wrong but I'm still sad. He is my lovely friend.
