Any news from the vet?
Casey had another blood test and the results were a little better. Her liver numbers came down considerably, but her kidney numbers were greater than 130. He wants the kidney numbers ALOT lower. We have changed from A/D cat food to K/D to try to bring those numbers down.
While there, Casey got a B12 shot Sub Q and that seemed to perk her up a little. While there, most of the time she slept in the cage while we waited in his office where it was quiet and warm. She was also put on a different IV which should be better for her with more electrolytes and has good results on keeping distress away from kidneys.
She is by far, not out of the woods yet. He said that even though SUN was a good day for both of us, and Monday was pretty good, things can go bad QUICK with kidney failure. Cats are wierd when it comes to that.
Anyways, I am to increase her dosage of food to 30cc's x3-4 times a day, preferrbaly every 6 hours. He also put in a leg stint/flush, and taped the heck out of her arm, so I don't have to do sub-q all the time and can just do it intraveinously. I am former medic, so I have a little experience with IV bags, but am TOTALLY unfamiliar with the vein structure or anatomy of a cat like my vet is.
All in all, it was a good visit and Casey seemed to be doing soooo much better than SAT. MON (today) wasnt the best day, but it could have been alot worse. Everyone at the vet clinic that saw her FRI PM and SAT morning asked if it was the same cat because of how much more alert and full of life she looked.
I told them that the vet that said she probably wouldn't make it to MON owes me one.
I guess I should have told them the power of prayer and Freepers?!
Will keep you updated with her progress tommorrow....we going to bed.
