Is my cat in renal failure?


Is my cat in renal failure?He is a a year old. He has had two bladder infections in the last 6 months both treated with antibiotics, as it appeared successfully. This AM he started vomiting clear/white emesis and is hidding under a dresser. He is usualy overly friendly to a fault, follows you around always under foot. In high school my mother had a cat with the exact same symptoms that eded up dying of renal failure.
Please only answer if you have had an experience with this or have formal training in veterinary medicine. Thank you in advance. Yes, he has an appointment today at 1:15 with his vet.

My cat has end stage renal failure which is common in siamese cats. He vomits occasionally and sleeps alot. His fur isn't as nice and he has lost lots of weight. I'm glad you are seeing your vet. Moo-chi is 17 years old I know it is hard to see such a young cat sick. Good luck!

The poor kitty is obviously very ill and I am glad he will go the vet today. Complete renal failure would be unlikely in such a young cat and hopefully it will turn out to be something readily treatable and he will recover.

I'm a Vet Tech, seen lots of cats in renal failure.
I've never heard of the vomiting though. It might be something else.
Has he peed within the last 12 hours or so? Male cats get blocked and can't pee. If he hasn't gone in awhile, don't wait for your appointment, call and tell your vet you think he may be blocked and they will have you bring him right in.
Vomiting can ge a sign of intense pain.
I think you should wait and see what the vet says. Try not to worry, renal failure is treatable and he may live a little while longer.
