So I spoke to the vet, and they did the ultrasound and it's all very Mid in terms of results. Basically he has a tiny kidney and a big one, so he has partial kidney failure, probably from birth. That's probably ok in the sense that he went 14 years with it, and many cats continue to cat just fine with that. The problem is now that there's a second thing on top, which they suspect is an infection. His pee is apparently super dilute so tests didn't reveal any markers for it, but the vet says this isn't atypical. So they're blasting him full of antibiotics and keeping him hydrated. They say he's not in pain, and just resting, and eating his food -- just not very fond of the environment. The issue is whether or not once the infection or whatnot clears, whether or not his good kidney will still be good enough to continue catting on.

    So my cat's creatinine levels went down to 250 which is great and they're talking of sending him home on friday I might have to do some subcutaneous hydration at home for a while, but otherwise, it seems like my old boy pulled through. This is terrific news.
