Hi Jo - how old is Phoenix, do you know?  And what does your beautiful baby look like?  Am sending every positive thought and vibe to you both, and hoping tomorrow you get some of the answers you're looking for.  Will be thinking about you.  :hug: :hug:

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the replies, your kind words and the hugs  :).

The vet has advised that this is genetic (pkd), he seems to be eating quite a lot, so that's a good sign, but he's also doing a lot of sleeping, we have a follow up appointment tomorrow. So hopefully will get more information on living with this illness, it is in curable, and to be told there is nothing that can be done is heartbreaking.

I will also try the health section ( :thanks: for the tip)

Jo and Phoenix xxx

Hi Jo and  :welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

This is the locked link from our Health and behaviour section on PKD (polycystic Kidney disease) have a read through it may answer some of your questions. I hope Phoenix starts feeling better soon.  :hug:

EDIT - sorry Jo just tested the link and it doesn't work.

Hi Jo :welcome: to Purrs. Sorry to hear Phoenix is poorly  :hug: :hug: :hug: I suggest you start a thread in the the Health section as it will probably be seen by more people who may be able to help. Hope all goes well for Phoenix.

Jo, welcome to Purrs to you and Phoenix.  I'm so sorry to learn this is obviously a time of real upset for you, and am hoping that Phoenix can be helped onto the road to recovery.  We all know how devastating it is when anything is wrong with our babies.   :hug: :hug:

Sorry to have to welcome you to Purrs at such a worrying time  :hug: Has the vet given you any idea what may have caused the cysys or is it genetic (PKD - polycystic kidney disease)?  :hug:

 Hi everyone  :scared: just found this website, wondered if anyone has had a cat with cysts on their kidneys? My beautiful boy Phoenix has spent the last 2 day in the vets, with massively enlarged kidneys. He's really not very well and we're so worried. Xxx
