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.
