I still have a kidney infection after a 10 day treatment, and after being off antibotics for 3-4 days. I did another urine test and my doctor just called my mom and told her that I STILL have a kidney infection after allmost 2 weeks. I am 18 years old and have to go back on antibotics. Is this normal?

15 years old. spayed. domestic short hair

vet just found a heart murmur and kidney failure. he is doing a urine test and culture tomorrow to determine exactly how bad the kidney failure is, but he believes it is just starting and is mild and can be easily treated. this opinion is based on a blood test.

the only problem the cat has is constipation from the kidney failure dehydrating her.

i questioned the vet on treating her, because of her age and i thought kidney failure could not be treated. he said she is not too old and mild kidney failure can be easily treated, it could be several years before the kidney failure degrades to the point where she cant be helped.

she is active and happy.

i dont have a problem with treating a cat, if the treatment will give her several happy years, but im not going to keep her alive it she is not happy.

has anyone ever heard of kidney failure being treated?
wow, thanks every one. i always thought kidney failure could not be treated.

she has always been on a mostly canned food diet. i do leave a bowl of dry out all day.

i fed her the cheap, made in china stuff ,for most of her life, not realizing how bad it was. she now gets "instinct" brand. 95 % meat, no grains.

i will wait to see the results of the test and what vet recommends, but i already know, she will not tolerate injections, IV’s or even pills.
i got her when she was 8 months old, had just weaned her first litter, had many, many owners, and was abused. those scars are still with her, she is a great cat, unless she is in pain, then she hurts you. giving her injections, IV’s and pills all count as pain.

12 yr old boy. Treated with penicillin and diuretics. Why do the urine test positive for blood cells and proteins after 4 weeks? How long will it take to kidney function to return to normal?

I went to the ER last wednesday not knowing what was wrong – they did a CT Scan & Xray and could not find a kidney stone but told me the tube coming out of my kidney was dialated making them "think" i HAD a kidney stone but passed it while i was waiting on my urine test to come back (blood in urine). If i sit up straight it hurts my back on the left side (where i was hurting when i went to the ER mind you i was in massive pain shaking, sweating, freezing, nauseated…)…….. should i be worried because I took a pain killer they prescribed and i can still feel the pain when sitting up straight. thanks……….
Ok, so maybe I didn’t give good enough details – the LEFT side of my back is hurting despite taking the pain killers. The spot where the doctor told me my kidney would be – not my bladder.
