Hi there,

My 10 year old cat was just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease 5 days ago, and I feel like it’s progressed so quickly since then.

Last night he was extremely wobbly and lethargic. So much so that I was scared he wasn’t going to make it through the night.

But this morning he jumped up on my bed, still very wobbly, but bright and looking for pets. Seeming more like himself.

Is it normal for evenings to be worse like this? Kinda like sundowning, for example?

I thought we’d have a couple of weeks with him, but I’m realizing that we might only have days. My heart is absolutely shattered, but I’m doing everything I can to keep him comfortable until it’s his time.

Thanks in advance for any responses 🙏🏻
