Tama's Kidneys :(

[Medusa]

Michelle, we're praying that Tama will remain comfortable while you await making a decision. Hopefully, you'll be able to give subQ's and extend his life indefinitely. Keep the faythe. (((HUGS)))

Thanks all- his kidney values came down- they are still above the normal range but much better than his values when he crashed 2 weeks ago. We are trying fluids every other day now and will do that for a few weeks and recheck him again.

I think he's constipated though, he hasn't pooped in 2 days and today he doesn't feel much like eating- or maybe he just doesn't have enough in him to poop?

I've been having a hard day today- feeling really sad in the morning and really aprehensive all day. Maybe he's picking up on my mood....

Sending along prayers and good wishes and healing energies for Tama and you both..

That's great to hear how his kidney values have been coming down so well! Hopefully he will be pooping again shortly.

My Merlin went to the Bridge very nearly 10 years ago, and I know things have changed drastically since then, but constipation, I know, is a side effect of kidney insufficiency. When I realized that had happened with Merlin, we were not at home, so I went to the grocery store and bought some baby suppositories, and that seemed to help. No doubt your vet has better solutions, but it might be something to keep in mind.

Prayers for Tama's continued improvement.
