Sadie has advanced kidney failure. When she saw the doctor four months ago, everything was fine. I finally picked up that there was a problem when I realized she had stopped eating. The disease is terminal, although the timeline is highly variable. My sense is that the best we can hope for in time would be measured in weeks, but days is more likely
She's hospitalized right now to get iv fluids, which will make her feel better. The doctor will teach us how to give her the iv on our, so she can be at home. We are, in short, entering end-of-life care for her, making her as comfortable as possible.
