I just got home from visiting my baby girl. It really doesn't look good right now, but time will tell. She looked so pathetic and cried out when I tried to lift her up....so I put her back down again. She is in the bottom cage and when I opened up the door she tried to walk out and immediately hissed at me when I put her back in. I obtained a copy of the blood test and indeed the numbers are off the chart. BUN=73.2 and Creatinine=1307.

I took her some of her favourite food and she ate only a very small amount. I'm sure I would lose my appetite too being stuck in a cage. She has an IV in so didn't want to move her around too much. She shared some conversation and I told her I would be taking her home tomorrow. When I turned around to walk out, she didn't make a sound but looked at me with sad eyes. I almost lost it at that point...but kept my composure.

While I was there, a good friend of mine from the Humane Society dropped in with a rescued kitty that needed sub-q fluids so I watched the procedure. Dang...that needle ain't small, is it??? I have no idea how I'm going to set that up or how I'm going to be able to do it. She's so squirmy and hates to be scruffed.

I already know what to do if the numbers come down but because I like to be prepared, I asked about the prognosis if they are unchanged. He said that she would only have a few weeks to month at the most. I then got all the prices for euthanization. I was amazed on how "matter of fact" I was through this whole conversation. It's pricey, but he will come to my home to send her on to her final journey which is what I will choose when the time comes.

Anyway, I have to stay positive and expect the best. Thanks again for all your good wishes and thoughts. Until tomorrow folks.
