Thank you Donna for posting the update.
I swear my vet was close to tears this afternoon when I called. Hearing a vet cry isn't the greatest sign. She said his temp was very low - 94 degrees I believe is what she said. I wasn't surpised because I was telling people last night that he was cold to the touch. His numbers are all off the charts in that the lab couldn't even read the totals.
She said they put him in a cage with a hot water bottle to try to warm him up and she mentioned that most cats won't have anything to do with the hot water bottle but he just sat there. She said he didn't move all day - not a good sign.
They have him catherized and he's being given sub-Q fluids to try and flush out the toxins. As it stand the vet says the best she can hope for is that the stress of being blocked has skewed his numbers. But she doesn't sound optimistic about the tests coming out any different in the morning.
Right now I am stoic... I can't describe it. Its like I refuse to acknowledge my boy is dying so its just not true. Reality will hit me tomorrow when I call the vet for the results of his retests.
What am I going to do? What if he truly is in renal failure? I don't want to be his executioner, but I also don't want him to be miserable and spend his last few monts of life sore and drugged.
I keep kicking myself.... I haven't taken many pictures of him lately just because I haven't. Now I want every last minute back to take a hundred pictures of him. I miss my boy already.
