We're all completely nutty about our pets and I for one feel physically sick and light-headed if I think of anything happening to my 2... you're not alone in being in a complete and utter state!!
I have groups like this one and in particular Tanya's group to thank for keeping it real with Misi on so, so many occasions. As others have said, fluid therapy takes time, sometimes weeks, so every little bit of improvement is a step towards a positive outcome. If, in the end, little Rosie is left with a degree of chronic renal disease, you have absolutely no reason to despair. New treatments are coming out all the time and in the meantime it can be managed. Misi was diagnosed three years ago and after a scare earlier this year is going great guns at 18-and-a-half. Sounds like your Rosie's a fighter just like Misi. When you next see her, greet her with a big, big smile and a really upbeat "you're absolutely fine" voice, and it will make all the difference Sorry for the ramble, I had a glass of wine with my pizza

You are most welcome for all the support you are getting here. We all love cats and are cat owners ourselves. We understand very much so what it's like when you don't have control of the situation and unable to tell what your Rosie is feeling.

I think that you should just try and relax for now. If she is on IV, is eating and is drinking, then this is great! And if you're looking for/found another vet then this is also great .

As others have said the forums you have joined are used to this and so will be able to help you with step by step care and be able to give you additional support for Rosie.

Not sure what else to say, except you're almost there now. It's Monday very shortly and I'm sure you can resolve the vet issue soon and hopefully will have Rosie back in your home . Also, the longer this goes on, the more it feels to me that there should be a decent outcome for Rosie.
