Hi Helen thanks for asking  :) Leo continues to gain a bit more strength every day and his appetite is slowly returning. Still desperate to get out side though and he has been very vocal in his disapproval tonight.

Leo continues to do well, hes had a wee and a Pooh and is eating small amounts of dry renal biscuits. Hes not impressed with house arrest and continues to pace around the house meowing until he wears himself out and then spends the next couple of hours sleeping. Hes currently gazing out the window as I type and is not at all happy with the situation if only they could talk :)

Thanks for the link Mark that certainly makes for some interesting reading especially the bit about various disinfectants. The vets has recommended a renal diet and we have been given some Royal Canin food, biscuits and meat which I'm pleased to say he seems to like.Hes due to go back to the vets next week but I'm pleased to say so far so good.

Glad he's home  :hug: hopefully its down to a kidney infection/virus and he's turned a corner now  :hug: Presume he was looked after at home while you were away? did whoever was looking after him mention about his appetite/drinking? Wonder if he pined a bit? stopped eating/drinking and got dehydrated, which would lead to the high kidney values.

Another possibility is phenols from disinfectants. Apparently any kind of disinfectant that turns milk when water is added is bad - there are also others. There is a story on Fabcat where a woman used Dettol surface cleaner http://www.fabcats.org/owners/poisons/article.html

Not sure if it says in the story but I'm pretty sure it is the clear spray - the supermarket own brand versions are the same as far as I know.

I'm pretty sure the worst one is jeyes fluid as the concentration is so high.

Glad he is back and OK  :hug: - has the vet recommended renal food temporarily?

Leo is finally back home woo hoo :happy dance: and is currently under house arrest much to his disgust. I have borrowed a crate from the vets, installed a litter tray so we can keep an eye on his fluid in take and out put for the next couple of days. The key now is to maintain his appetite as this will help improve his kidney function according to the vets.
I'm not aware of Leo eating any Lilly's but he does have out door access so it is possible the neighbours could have some. If anyone else has any suggestions of what else it could be I would be interested to know.
Once again many thanks for your kind words and positive vibes, they seemed to have done the trick this time :)

He couldn't have got near any lillies could he? I have known cats get ARF from them. Am glad the vet is realistic with kidney values, and him being fine in himself is the most important thing.
Please spay your cat

Hi blood results back unfortunately his enzymes are still quite high but they have come down slightly. The vet now doesn't think he was poisoned by anti freeze- phew, but thinks it is more likely to be environmental ie some type of plant pollen will try to find out more. I will admit I was hoping for slightly better especially as he looked so well today but the vet was upbeat and did explain that it can take weeks for the levels to come back down. He was taken off the drip this morning and the vet wants to see how he goes overnight and hopefully if he keeps on eating and drinking he maybe able to come home tomorrow. So still not out of the woods yet but certainly better, so a few more positive vibes might just do the trick.

Have spoken to the vets, Leo has had a good night and has eaten and drank everything left in his kennel overnight and has used his litter tray. Crunch time will be this evening when we get this mornings blood results back. Just off now to see him and give him a cuddle still keeping everything crossed.
