Goodness, Jen, so young to have such problems. I do pray that the meds continue to work for Shilo and that you have lots of good, quality years w/him. Pidgelet, at age 18 1/2, may only be w/me a little while longer, due to her complications w/bad kidneys. In Dr. Lee's opinion, Lasix can wreck the kidneys if they're in bad shape to start with but I can't administer subQ's to her because we're trying to keep the fluid out of her lungs. So she's in a catch 22. All I can do is love her and be ever vigilant to watch for signs that she's no longer living a quality life. Prayers going up for Shilo and you, too, Jen.
