My cat is in the end stages of chronic renal failure?I have been giving him SQ fluids and injections to boost his rbc, but they aren't working anymore. He is now extremely lethargic, weak, dehydrated and he recently stopped eating. I'm having a difficult time making the final decision. I can't tell if he is in pain. Does anyone have any experience with the end? Is it time to put him to sleep? I don't want him to suffer.
Thank you everyone. I put him to rest just a little while ago. I think it was the right thing to do.

Weak and not eating are the two key things here. It's time to let him go. His quality of life is getting way too low and he's not feeling good anymore. I'm sorry.

I don't have experience with renal failure, but my 16 year old cat developed a heart condition. We tried to treat it with meds but he was lethargic and stopped eating. We ended up force feeding him with special food for about a week but he was just miserable. It was so hard but we finally had to bring him in and let him rest. The vet said he wasn't in pain but he wasn't enjoying anything anymore. I'm so sorry you have to make this decision.
