I don't know where to start in thanking you all, but I guess I'll start with another little uppydate. I think Tubby is already feeling much better. He's still not too mobile, but at least he is picking his head up and looking around and acting interested in things again. And even though he's not too mobile, he's much more mobile than before. I thought it might be good to just let him rest for awhile and let all the meds start working, so we went and ran some errands and got something to eat. When we left he was on his purr pad, fast asleep. When we got home, he was gone! Turns out he went into the bedroom to get a drink, then didn't make it all the way back. I picked him up and put him on the purr pad, and not only did he complain, but he got up and walked away almost as soon as I set him down! I thought OK, you go where you want now. Then I was going upstairs and glanced over to make sure he was ok, and he was gone again! Just decided to switch positions and move a little bit this time, but still that's more movement on his own in the last 2 hours than there has been in the last 2 days!

Since he seemed perkier, I thought I'd try to give him some of the food the vet gave me-Royal Canine Renal formula. Peant looked extrememly interested when I opened the pack, but Tubby still didn't want anything to do with it, and, as a matter of fact, ended up throwing up all over the dish I gave him.

He gets one more potassium tablet tonight and then another dose of everything tomorrow, and I'm hoping he'll be even perkier tomorrow.

I'm so sorry I just about ruined all of your Saturdays, but as you can guess, I myself am quite relieved and happy to have him home. NOW maybe I can get some sleep tonight.
