Update on Bart...

**moosmom** · 03-10-2011, 08:39 AM

Bart was weighed and blood was drawn. His thyroid went from an ESTIMATED (could've been higher, but they couldn't get a definite reading) 34 down to 13.8, which is good. HOWEVER...the vet wants it down to 2. So he's got a long way to go. His blood pressure is still very high so she's got him on Altelnol twice a day. He's gained an ounce or two. Next visit they're going to check his liver and kidney functions. She also upped his Methamizole from .5 ml 2x a day to 1.0!! She's really concerned about it.

The old guy is spunky at times. Absolutely ADORE him!!!

Take care of that boy!! Sound like it's complicated but my mind just can't grasp a hold to things these days! Keep him well and happy and love him till he is spolied rotten.

At least Bart is seeing a Vet now, and with the advances in Vet technology, we know that Bart will be healthy very soon.
We Found Cats all hope that Bart likes his Mousie from Catada

Sending good wishes and prayers for Bart that you are doing much better soon! Now, take your meds like a good boy. Your Meowmie loves you very much and is giving you the very best of care.

Oh gosh, Donna, if not for you, poor Bart would be sooo sick...he might not even be here any more.

How wonderful that he is improving somewhat...I wonder how the poor guy got so sick to begin with.

You are Bart's angel, no doubt about it. Prayers for continued healing for Bart, and special prayers for his Meowmie!

Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear he's improving some.

Yes, just enjoy him and spoil him rotten with the time you have left with him.
