Cat has cloudy x-rays, vet says outcome not good, not sure what to do

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat's cloudy x-rays and that you're facing such an uncertain situation right now. It must be stressful not knowing what the next steps are. Cloudy x-rays can mean a few different things depending on the area examined. It could indicate fluid build-up, inflammation, possible infection, or growths that are affecting your cat's organs.



At home, you can focus on keeping your cat comfortable. Ensure they have a quiet, cozy space to rest with access to fresh water and an enticing variety of food they usually enjoy. If your cat becomes lethargic, stops eating, or has trouble breathing, these can be signs of a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.



Also, monitor their behavior—any changes in bathroom habits, significant weight loss, or noticeable pain should be addressed promptly. While waiting for more definitive answers, it’s natural to feel concerned about what might come next.
