Last night we lost our beloved family cat Bertie who was 12 years old and lived with my mum and dad
He had been off his food since sunday but otherwise seemed fine. Mum noticed that his breath was very smelly and thought he may have a rotten tooth or gum problem so she took him to the vets yesterday evening. Within moments the vet diagnosed Kidney Failure and said Bertie must be put down as he will soon be in a lot of pain and discomfort. The breath was a sign as was his slightly weaker back legs.
My poor mum and my whole family are shocked and so sad to lose him so suddenly.
I had no idea kidney failure takes hold so quickly
