Filou Update

**Barbara** · 10-25-2005, 06:07 AM

It's quite some time since I updated about Filou. The last update was positive but I'm afraid there was a period in between in which he was not as well:

We had tried to give the sub-Qs only every two week but the urea and creatinine levels raised almost immediately.

So on one hand we went back to sub-qs weekly, on the other hand he got another homeopathic pill ( a different one this time). Today his bloodwork was checked again and the urea level is even further down than it was before that fallback occurred. The crea level had fallen as well but not that much. We even had one period in between where he got his fluids only after 1,5 weeks because we had been on vacation for one week.

Now the story why I wrote this: Our vet is a very nice lady and she loves little Filou. Although he hates going there (he meows in the car all the time

) he shows his very best behavior at the vet's (the only place where he shows his very best behavior

). And always when she is done with the fluids he jumps back in the carrier of his own which is very cute. This time, the carrier was still closed when he wanted to jump back. And so he jumped on top of it and gave the vet a headbumpie. That really made her happy and it showed me again that my little boy is the cutest and sweetest.

I think he was saying...."open the door already!"....

Oh Barbara, how sweet of beautiful Filou to give the vet a headbumpie!

The girls always remember sweet Filou in their prayers, and hope his condition is kept in check for a long time yet.

I am glad to hear that he is doing so well now. What a sweet little boy to give a headbumpie to the Vet!

Filou, I'm glad to hear the urea levels have gone down again.

Fister agrees, the car ride is absolutely no fun, but once you're at the vet, you get all the attention.

How sweet of you to give her a headbumpie.

Awww....that must have made your vet feel good. I'm sure they don't get head bumpies from too many of their patients.

Glad to hear the fluids are helping keep his levels in check!

Oh sweet Filou! I am sure the vet was very happy

she will treat you even better next time!

I am also very glad to hear that you are getting better. Let's hope it improves again!

Headbumpies to you Filou!
