Please pray for Linus UPDATE 5/5/10

[doolittleky]

Hi, I had to take Linus to the vet today. He was admitted for acute kidney failure. I am so scared I am going to lose him. I lost Fiona suddenly just last month. That was very traumatic for me. Could I ask you all to please pray for my boy Linus to get better so I can take him home where he belongs.
Linus is the orange cat in my sig.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. I'm also so sorry to hear about Fiona's passing. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I once had a Linus, and my son also, so the name is special to me. I have just said a prayer for him.

Prayers for Linus, that you will get better enough to come home to your Meowmie and family who love you so very, very much.

I also just lit a candle: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10707749

That's the only candle there now, I found! (I'm sure these no longer stay lit for the 48 hours they say they will these days..)

Love and healing energies to sweet, beloved Linus .

hanks everyone for your continued prayers. The vet called me this morning and said that she did bloodwork on Linus again today and the values are half what they were. Barbara, the vet had told me what the numbers were the first time but I can't remember. All I know is she said she had never seen values so high before. She told me that she didn't want to send him home just yet. She was going to keep him at home with her for the weekend and try to wean him off the fluids. Also she was going to give him some meds for the diarrhea he has been having. She told me that she has Linus in one of her bathrooms and when she came to check on him early this morning at 3, one of her cats had apparently caught a mouse and killed it and brought it in and was playing with it and it had somehow gotten under the bathroom door and she found Linus sitting up on the carrier looking at it like he was scared of it and didn't know what it was. She was laughing. I told her that Linus had always been a baby. Anyway, I hope he keeps improving so he can come home soon. Thanks to everyone again for all your prayers.

I think it is a very good sign that the levels got so much lower. Linus will have to live on a diet and maybe you can learn how to give him fluids by yourself.
Filou survives now on 5 years of fluids and is 14 by now. He will not live much longer but he had a purrfect life until then.

I'm sending lots of good thoughts to Linus, glad to hear his numbers are down. Perhaps a special diet will help - and of course fluids.

Kisses and scritches from Fister and me - and hugs to you.
