You are wonderful for taking in Coral and giving her a great home and love for an extra 10 months.
Kidney disease is a heartbreaker. I hate that so many kitties get it.

Thought Iād check and see how Dewey is doing.
Sammy is going to the vet Thursday for blood work. Itās been six months since his thyroid was checked and heās doing quite well, so we may as well go. Iād like the vet to see him anyway just to make sure Iām not missing something, like weight loss.

He has been doing well (knock wood!). Heās eating like normalā¦sometimes he eats the kidney food, sometimes he wants other food or his Temptations treats. I figure as long as heās eating and he eats the kidney food most of the time, thatās pretty good. With the weather being warmer, he has been wanting to go outside more. He has been pawing and bothering the other cats which he has always done. 
Iām still giving him fluids every day. He seems like heās been feeling pretty good. The only signs of kidney disease that I have been seeing are he drinks more water and pees more than my other cats.
Iām glad Sammy has been doing well! I hope this thyroid levels will be OK on the bloodwork. Can those levels improve if they are on medication?
Thanks for asking about Dewey!

Iām so glad Dewey is doing so well! Yay!!! We just have to enjoy our time with them while they are feeling well.
Yes, his thyroid has been normal on blood work since starting the methizamole. We just have to do periodic blood work to make sure they donāt need it increased.
The only cure for hyper thyroidism is the radioiodine treatment, methizamole treats the symptoms but the hyper t gets worse over time.
I donāt think the vet thought he would still be around to worry about it, but for now heās doing good.

Let us know the results of Sammyās blood work today. I hope his levels look good. We can just take it one day at a time but I hope we have a long time left with our sweet boys. 
I will, but it wonāt be until next week. The vetās father died and I rescheduled my appointment.
Iāll send a card to the office. Sheās really sweet and good with the cats.
