    Tripsy is not helping.
    The vet just called with his blood results. Some of the numbers are off the charts now. Too high for the machines to record. The vet believes Willy may just have a week or so now.

    Unlike people, cats can only go on dialysis temporarily. It's used when kidney transplant is being considered. Which we are not considering. Dialysis would buy him some time but not improve his quality of life.

    Willy doesn't feel well. But, he remains a sweet boy. He just brought me a present -- a plastic bag of screws he got out of a box.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I am at a loss for words, other than to say "I'm so sorry".

    Awww, I am so very sorry to hear this. Enjoy your limited time with your sweet boy.
    It did bring a smile to my face to read about the gift he brought to you.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm so sorry to hear that your sweet boy Willy is getting worse instead of better.
    I love that he still likes to give you presents.
    Cherish the time you have with him, he is a very special Meezer.
    Give him a big hug and kiss from me.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    I am so so sorry. He loves you and you love him - he is bringing you prezzies. Wishing him all the love, comfort and peace possible.

    I am so very sorry.

    Willy loves you very much and you love him just as much back. How sweet of him to bring you that present! Cherish your special time together as always.

    Thinking of you both and sending along all our love and prayers.

    I just read this thread. I am so sorry your Willy is very sick. It is so sad when a beloved pet/friend has severe health problems. You're both in my thoughts and prayers.
