So we got some mixed news yesterday from the vet. Blood results show that his creatinine and BUN are still WAY too high... but the numbers have stabilized and the creatinine has actually dropped ever so slightly (creatinine went from 11.4 to 9.7, BUN is still 156 - ouch!). Not the best news but Blackie is still showing signs of increased energy and an interest in eating. He's loving the baby food. I also got him some kitten milk that he seems to like and some alaskan salmon fancy feast "appetizers" (LOL)... but they are juicy and moist and he makes an attempt to eat a small portion (or at least lick up all the gravy).I just try to put something under his nose every 2 hours. The best news of all is that he hasn't vomited since Thursday morning!
We took him in to the vet yesterday for another fluid treatment (5th day in a row) and the doctor commented that Blackie looked like he felt a bit better. Since he won't get any fluids over the weekend, we're watching him carefully and still encouraging eating/drinking. We've let him out on our patio and he's loving it... even tried to escape over our patio wall (I don't blame him after all he's been through this week).We also got out the laser toy for some mild playing and he really perked up! Just trying to keep him stimulated and happy.
Please keep kitty prayers going over the weekend as he won't get sub-Qs until Monday. So far so good.
Thanks again for all your comments, suggestions and well wishes!
Purrs,
Lisa
