Some sad news regarding darling Henry.
He went for an appointment on Friday 16th, they decided to keep him in as he was very dehydrated. He stayed Friday and Saturday and we have to pick him up today (Sunday) at around 4.00pm.
He has been on a drip and has been eating little but often. They say the fluids have helped him a great deal.
However they have decided not to give him a dental (which was to be Tuesday 20th) as his health is too bad. The toxins in his kidneys are so high and they are so bad that they don't believe he has got long anyway. They predict up to four weeks for him.
He has one bad tooth, but the rest they say are not too bad.
I am going to ask if I can buy fluids to be injected from them, whether they will let me I don't know, but I would like to help him stay as hydtrated as possible to keep his appetite up. His appetite was so low because of lack of fluids.
I have a syringe that I will try to give him water with if they say I can't have anything vetinary to help him.
So basically we have to try to make sure Henry is as comfortable as possible, and hopefully when he does go he will just go in his sleep. I really hope that he won't colapse and we will have to take him in to be euthanised. I am praying he will slip away peacefully.
Thank you everybody for your prayers for dear Henry, he is a sweet cat who did not deserve to have this disease having had such a rough life and being so young. But we have done all we can to help him. Now it is up to the heavens.
I will keep updating to let you all know how he is doing.
