    I tried feeding him the prescription food and he wasn't having any part of that!

    He's such a picky eater that we must have at least 1 of every kind of cat food there is in our cupboard now- It's always a hit or miss when I open a can and just because he likes one can one day doesn't mean he's gonna like it the next day!

    Always keeping me on my toes!

    He gets the B-complex vitamins already in his fluids and he takes him Tumil-K really well.

    Tama, too, was about a day away from being PTS, I'm so glad he decided that it wasn't time for him to leave me just yet.

    Unfortunately, due to a bad vet, his condition was not caught early

    But we take each day with joy and hard lessons learned. I've learned so much in this short week, about what really matters in life, about how much love there is in these tiny creatures, about my strengths and many weaknesses and about my Tama- such a fighter

    One hard lesson learned on my end is that I don't handle mega-stressors very well. Due to this stress, I've pulled a muscle in my back which has kept me out of work and is constantly spasming. Which makes taking care of Tama even that much harder considering I can barely move. But his favorite thing is to lie in bed with me, curled up under my chin, so life really isn't that bad

    I do hope to have many more years with him! As long as he wants to continue the fight, I will happily stand by his side and help him with whatever he needs.

    Prayers that you and Tama will indeed have many more years together!

    God bless you and him both.

    Abys may be prone to kidney disease but they are fighters for sure. Kiss your little boy from me.

    He gained more weight! When he crashed he was 5.7 lbs. Since I've had him home & eating, he's went from 6.0 to 6.2 and today at the vets he is 6.6 lbs!

    I'll get his bloodwork results back tomorrow- I'm really hoping those kidney values went down!!!!
