I haven't posted all day because I just got the test results back from the vet on Murphy's renal failure. Yes, she is in renal failure. My vet told me to "try" a prescription Science Diet. If it doesn't work, then euthanization is the only other option.
I've been inundated with MANY phone calls from friends, animal rescuers, doling out advice. So much so that I turned my phone off, had a major meltdown and slept all day. I know they all mean well, but the ultimate decision is mine. I'm just not handling it very well.
People and friends have told me to go for sub-Q fluids twice a day. Unfortunately, it's a temporary fix and I don't want to put her through the pricking of the needle, poking and prodding.
I was supposed to bring her into the vet today at 4:30, but I fell asleep (again). So, I'll be bringing her there tomorrow.
Any prayers you can spare for my precious old lady would be SO appreciated.
