[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1040109, member: 176704"] Update (unfortunately): Scruffy was kept under care at the Richmond branch of the Medivet chain, and we were waiting for the latest set of test results (for Feline HIV) but those hadn't come by Friday afternoon, and so our vet called us and suggested that we collect the cat and bring him home for the weekend - which we then did, and he was reasonably OK on Friday evening. However, yesterday, he wouldn't or drink almost anything and was visibly going downhill all day, hardly moving at all - so, finally, in the late afternoon, it was clear to us all that he would die pretty soon, and probably not "very well" in the middle of the night. Therefore we had to phone the local vet surgery to say that we wanted him to be put to sleep before he got even worse - and that was done just after 7pm last evening :(. A very sad end to a much-loved cat who was a real "character" in his own right, but least we had him home for the last 24hrs, and he was still mentally "with it" for most of that time. PS: As I said, we don't know the actual cause of his sudden decline, but think it was Feline HIV - possibly accelerated by a change in diet to a food to help reduce kidney disease, but he didn't like that new food and wouldn't eat much of it, and so didn't really eat enough to keep up his general level of health, and then the underlying condition then took over.
