Shhh..... don't tell her yet. I have to cut off food at 9:00 p.m. and water at midnight.

My vet is honoring the 20% off promotion they had in January because we were waiting for Mitzi to get stronger - and she has! Last blood panel is almost normal! Kidney function normal! YES! I'm not doing anything different, mainly because Ms. Mitzi hated all the kidney foods I tried.

I'm convinced the acupuncture and Chinese herbs the holistic vet gave her are working. I'm going to keep that up as soon as she heals from her dental.

So, please good vibes that Ms. Mitzi mitts doesn't lose too many more teeth tomorrow - I know she'll lose at least one. She so badly needs this, though and I hope it will help her kidneys too.
