    Tama's Kidneys :(

    Could use some good thoughts for Tama- he's staying at the vets. It's his kidneys.

    He's lost 2 lbs. in the past 2 months, he stopped eating all together. His bloodwork looks bad.

    He's getting IV and fluids and they will try to get his levels back to a reasonable amount. If they can do that, then we would just be able to keep him comfortable with fluids, which I have no problem giving to him.

    If they find that the kidney damage is too far gone, then, well....we will cross that road when we get to it

    ^TAMA^ 8/24/00 - 4/27/12 Thank you for being in my life I love you always and forever

    Oh, I'm so sorry. Prayers and good wishes for Tama.

    Michelle, we're praying that Tama will remain comfortable while you await making a decision. Hopefully, you'll be able to give subQ's and extend his life indefinitely. Keep the faythe. (((HUGS)))
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I've been there, so I know it's a scary and unhappy place. Prayers for you and Tama; there's lots of treatment for the kidneys these days. Hang in there!

    Oh.My.Gosh.


    It went from them telling me that he's doing so bad I will need to put him down, to getting a phone call 1/2hr ago saying he ate 3/4 can of food and ate last night and I can now take him home!!!!!!!!!

    Prognosis is still guarded- they are leaving his catheter in in case he crashes this weekend. But if he's ok, then we will take him back on Monday for a checkup.

    I will give him the sub-Q fluids (which I have no problems doing since I was a tech before )

    He is really a fighter, this little 5 lb guy.....

    That sounds like good news, what a relief!! Keeping my fingers crossed that he will respond positively to the sub-Qs, and that he will feel much better!! He must be happy to come back home!

    Please keep improving, little Tama, hang in there!!
