    Have just done my first paid reading - once the funds arrive you can have them for Tuvok (the whole point of me doing the course was to help animals not make money). Do you have PayPal?

    Welcome home, dear Tuvok! Your meowmie Jen is going to do everything humanly possible to get you feeling better. And you have loads of people AND kitties all over the world (including us) praying for you and sending their love and healing energies and good wishes.

    Tuvok was scheduled to stay at the vet for the day, to receive IV fluids. But it was decided to place a feeding tube in him and keep him for a few days. Poor sweet boy.

    Actually, his blood work (the first one) was good. Just a slight elevation in one of the liver enzymes.

    At the ER, very low glucose levels. low potasium, high phosphorous.
    Kidneys normal. I need to look up some of the abreviations to let you know about some other umbers that were a bit low. (ALB, ALKP, TP)

    I sent you a pm.
    Albumin- a liver indicator. Holds water in the blood vessels. Decreased in liver damage. INcreased in dehydration. Be right back...

    Sorry- Total protein- includes albumin and large protein globulins. Increased in dehydration. Alkaline phosphatus(sp)- orgininates from many tissues in the blody. Elevation due to liver or bone disease.

    OK, this is some of what I found....

    ALP (ALKP).....his is normal....this is the most important liver protein.

    ALT...... a liver protein, his is the high end of normal.

    TBIL (Bilirubin)..... causes jaundice in excess, his is normal.

    His ALB s low

    his TP is low

    his Amyl is low

    And glucose was very low, but I know that is back up now.

    Jen you did all that you could to save Tuvok, sadly he was just too far gone. But he had the honor of being your Cat and being loved by you and did not pass away as a Stray but as a Luckenbach Cat.
    And he will be there with All Your Angels to greet you in love.
    One Fine Day.
