Murphy UPDATE...11/8/10 Post #15

I spoke with the vet yesterday about possibly cutting her dose of Methamizole to every other day, since her kidneys are now being compromised. I also asked him if she's in pain.

He said cutting her dose to every other day wouldn't be a problem. He said she wasn't in any pain, that kidney failure causes nausea and vomiting. She doesn't have that, so I assume it's a good sign.

The only thing I worry about is she is BONE thin. I can feel every vertebrae in her back, and her hips.

Dr. McLaughlin told me I was doing the right thing by just keeping her fed, happy and comfortable.

Sooo, she gets Paul Newmans Organic Turkey canned food at $1.09/can twice a day and she loves it. She also gets Blue Indoor Health which only has 34% protein (her kidneys can't process anything higher, and Wilderness Blue was 40% (I think).

I love her SO much!!!! The vet said she has maybe 6 months. I hope she proves him wrong!!
