And Lily has finally realized that it's her kitty buddy Luna whom I brought home from the vet. There was still a little hissing this morning, but it's much better now.
    Yay, yay! I will keep praying and thinking good thoughts for Lily, Luna and meowmie

    Thank you everyone for your encouraging words.

    And I'm happy to report that things are back to normal now! No more hissing and howling from Lily. These days may have been tough for Luna who had to endure the vet visit and the sedation, but it's been hard for Lily as well because a "drugged" Luna scared her so much!

    I took a photo of her x-ray shot at the vet's today and marked the disc that doesn't look too well:



    I also got the Renes Viscum today and tomorrow, we'll start the treatment. It's supposed to support her kidneys.

    Cystatin C was 3,3 mg/l (should be below 1,0), but urea, creatinine, sodium, phosphate, calcium and pottasium are all fine, so I hope a chronic renal failure is still far away.

    What wonderful news! Lovies to you all!
