Hi there -
Just an update for you all! Blackie had his one-month follow-up exam today with blood panel. I'm happy to report that Blackie is... according to our vet... truly a "miracle kitty." His BUN and creatinine numbers have dropped significantly... to a more acceptable, almost NORMAL level. Numbers are now 39 and 2.15, - originally 138 and 11.3. WOW! He's also gained 1 pound! I'm crying tears of joy tonight. We'll go back in a month to monitor, but we're off the Sub-Qs now (hallelujah!). We had tapered off to once a week recently as that was all our feisty Blackie would allow (he is STRONG)... and we saw no negative effects from it. So, we're off the fluids completely and will monitor accordingly. We'll just keep up with the moist and healthy diet. He's doing so well... back to his old self.
We're keeping our fingers crossed that he holds strong for many months/years to come. Thanks to you all for your great encouragement and advice.
Purrs,
Lisa
