bad news all the way around. Stormy is totally blind (we did not realize it was total). he has advancing kidney disease and a bladder stone and a UTI. the vet basically said he doesn't have long, maybe only weeks, and she recommended we start talking euthanasia. they gave him an injection of antibiotics for the UTI and some fluids to try to make him a little more comfortable while we talk it over with our son. I'm sad but I'm not going to try to keep him alive just for me like I did with my old cat many years ago. We stopped at the grocery store on the way home and bought him several packets of the liquid treats he loves so much and he's already eaten (drank basically) one since we got home so that's good. I'm sad, but I expected it. We'll probably be making the appointment to put him to sleep soon.
