That is good to know that BraveHeart's liver enzymes were OK. Does the vet have any idea why he may have developed this(just the nurse's mind)?? I hope BraveHeart is feeling a bit better. Prayers for BraveHeart!!!!

With the enlarged heart problem, fluid can accumulate in the abdomen with a heart valve problem. Dusty had that with her congenital heart failure. She had a heart murmer for many years, but the heart only got enlarged and started accumulating fluid as she got older. Her liver tests were fine right up until the end. Just some info.
I hope Braveheart gets through all this with flying colors and a full recovery!!

Thanks for the info. This could very well be BraveHeart's problem.
I was just about to come to update, anyway.
BraveHeart went with me today, for a bath. And oh does he feel and smell wonderful!
He also rewarded me by licking some food tonight. Not a lot, but hey, it is an improvement!!!
Now on to the promised photos.
"I am so tired after my bath I think I will just lay here for a while."
"Don't I look spiffy?"
"Now I am getting my sub-q fluids. See how good I am?"
"OK, I will strike a pose for you!" (that is my roomie, Scarlet, looking at me)
"Thanks for thinking about me. "

HUG AND KISS!
The photos are great - he looks so nice and clean! And in the photo with Scarlet, his coat looks so soft and woolly!
And he licked some food! Hopeful sign!
IS his fur really soft and nice, Jen?
I hope the fluid goes away and is nothing...keep going, dear BraveHeart. You are safe and loved with your foster mom!

The boy ATE tonight! Nothing earthshattering, but more than a few licks. I actually decided not to syringe him tonight, so he isn't overly full.
I am looking forward to Monday when we can test his levels again.

Jen - I'm glad to hear BraveHeart ate some on his own. Hopefully he'll keep doing that more and more. Thinking of you both here.

Here, BraveHeart, this isn't quite as cute as an official I Can Has Cheezburger, but I made this for you...
Please note that the dish is empty -- that's the goal!
My dinner. I eated it.
