BraveHeart (disappointing UPDATE 3-17-08, page 7)

[Medusa]

We pray without ceasing....

[Grace]

For as long as Braveheart needs them.

[GILL]

The Crew is still pulling and praying.

[phesina]

We continue to pray and will for as long as it takes.

Keep going, BraveHeart, that's great that you're eating!

I got the blood test values back tonight.

All his kidney numbers went UP (not down)

His PCV has not improved

And the vet says there isn't a whole lot more to offer him.

I am to try to give more fluids sub-Q, which he now fights. And continue with the medicines for anemia. and retest in 2 weeks.

SIGH.

[Catty1]

Oh, Jen - how discouraging.

On the plus side, he is starting to eat. I wonder if dry 'kidney' formula would help?

I really really pray for some improvement next test time! He was so good about getting his sub-q's before.

I pray that it's darkest before the dawn...when things will turn around.

Jen - he is LOVED by you, which is huge. And he is in the hearts and prayers of many ptrs.

It ain't over yet, hon!

[Medusa]

Oh, how disappointing. I'm sorry that this is happening to Braveheart. Keep the faith, Jen. Things may turn around. So many times it has looked as though I might lose Puddy, only to have her bounce back one more time. I'll definitely keep that boy in my prayers.

[momtomany]

Continued prayers for Braveheart and for you Jen. You never know. Our fur babies can put us through the ringer and come out just fine. We will pray that this will be the case.
