Thanks everyone-
his xrays look good

I won't have the results of the thyroid test until Monday.

He has a little infection so he's on antibiotics.
His allergies are really bad and the depo shots aren't working as well as they were before, so he's on prednisolone now too.

His immediate results showed his potassium was really low so he's also on RenaKare Gel.

He goes back in 2 weeks for a recheck of the bloodwork and hopefully his potassium levels will be back to normal and hopefully it hasn't damaged his kidneys...

He also lost a pound since last month- now down to 7.1lbs. A year ago he was 9lbs. Since he's so thin and doesn't eat much, he may need an appetite stimulant too, but since he's on so much medication now, we all thought it was best to wait on that....

His journey is far from over, poor thing....seeing him like this makes me cry

My cats are my life, my best friends, my heart, I hate seeing them in pain or uncomfortable in any way- it breaks my heart...and I don't want him to be mad at me for having to shove all these pills, liquids & gels down his throat day and night

Awww...{{{hugs}}}. My prayer is that there will be something in the thyroid so dear Tama will need just one med, and that you and he will be better and happier soon!

Awww - hey, the prednisone may work as an appetite stimulant anyway - the times I have been on it, it makes me ravenously hungry, which is odd, especially when I know there's no logical reason to be hungry 2 minutes after I eat, but my brain is crying FOOOOD!

Prayers that you handsome boy feels better soon.

I'm keeping my paws crosed for Tama. 7.1 lb- that's not much even for an Aby.
I hope that under the meds he gets back to normal soon.
Did the vet mention any dehydration? Normally all kidney levels improve immediately after Sub-q fluids.
