It is now close to two years that Filou has chronic kidney failure. However he did well with the weekly sub-q fluids and diet food.
Since before Christmas however he has been losing weight- it's close to a pound now and he only had seven of them. Of course we bought the most delicious food. The vet says he can have everything- even if it should not be diet as he is using his own protein which is just as bad for the kidneys.
Filou always needed his teeth cleaned as he builds a lot of tartar. The vet was reluctant to do it again as the anesthetics that are needed leave his body also via kidneys and put some further strain on them. But today on his weekly visit she says she cannot any longer postpone it as she thinks he might be even in pain. And of course if that should be the case he will not like his food as much.
He has been very active and playful over Christmas- so this is a good sign. They both liked that we have been home more and Filou gives lots of kitty kisses and headbumpies.
But for tomorrow my little boy is scheduled for a tooth cleaning under anesthetics and of course the vet will take the opportunity and take blood for some more tests.
Let's hope this will lead to things improving for a while. Think of us tomorrow.
