UPDATE again - Mishi's Across the Bridge :(

[Barbiecat]

I'm so sorry for you. My guy is 12, and just starting to have his own health issues, so I certainly know what you and your little friend are going through. I'll pray for your buddy.

Thank you everyone. I'm waiting for the vet to call back with labwork results. This is the other vet at my vet's office that I don't really care for. She talks in clinical terms and makes no effort to sound compassionate; whenever she's in charge, my vet bills are more expensive.

Cats in Crisis is pretty much the same as iMOM. I guess I know where my non-existent vacation fund money is going this year Ah kids. I love the big bugger - well not so big; he's down to 10 lbs! - so much. I will keep you posted.

I'm very sorry to read these news on Mishi!! Fingers and paws are crossed here that he may make a turn for the better very soon!!

Sending positive thoughts,

Kirsten

The vet just called and he's perking up. They've given him fluids and got him to eat wet food, enticing him with Fancy Feast. So he's coming home tonight complete with Sub-Q fluid kit, appetite stimulants and a healthy supply of canned X/D.

His Creatinine and BUN levels are elevated, but we expected that; they aren't as high as the vet expected, which is good, but they're still not normal.

I'm hoping this is just another one of his kidney "episodes" that he has every few months. They seem to be getting a little bit harder to deal with each time as I keep wondering if this is the one that's going to send him over the bridge for good. He's such a spunky fighter; so far he's pulled through every time, but it doesn't get any easier and he's getting so thin. My poor boybee - I call him Mr. Bones, in a loving way.
