Kerry,
I'm glad to hear that Inky is holding his own. It's really good news
that he's eating more. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner, I've been
dealing with a lot of stuff right now too. Isn't he funny that he likes
french fries? Really good news about Bandy continuing to do well too.
I don't know how you continue to keep your spirits up, it never seems to
end at your house.
Prayers to you, Inky and Bandy,
Nina

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts for Inky..I guess we are
holding our own for now..He had 150ml sub-q fluids on Fri..and was to
have more on Sunday, but since he is eating and drinking now and we go
to the vet on Monday, I thought we would wait for her to check him
out..It really stressed him out on Fri. to get them..I thought I was
losing him as he quit eating and drinking again..I tried it all,
too..even Friskies cat food..so then I grilled him a chicken breast,
upped his pred and gave him a dose of transdermal appetite stimulant
oxazepam...it seemed to work as he is now on his 3rd chicken breast
and drank a large box of chicken broth along with some water now..eats
a little bit of k/d. I am having a hard time getting the meds in him
though..I now put his pill in a french fry and he takes it from me..
So I guess we will just go one day at a time...as long as I can keep
him eating, I think he will be ok..and keep him from vomiting..Only
once since last Wed..so that is a good thing..
Anyway, sorry to go on and on, but I think you all know how it is..
Bandy has now gone the longest in over 14 months without a fever..If
he has had one, you couldn't tell it..eating good and playing with his
toys..He only gets meds once a day now..and that is a first, too..his
hair is growing back and instead of solid black, it is salt and
pepper...he really looks good for a change..
Thanks for all the CRF info, too..I have alot to look into..I forgot
to add that I am not sure that is what is Inky's main problem..as I
was looking at his lab work and comparing it to his past lab back from
March..It may be pancreas. His phosphorus level was normal..so we
aren't using binders as of yet..he will get more lab work I'm sure in
a couple of wks..His vet mentioned liver failure, too, but some of
those were normal, too..So I don't know..I am just trying to combat
several things here with the right type of diet for him..to lessen the
load on his kidneys, liver and pancreas. Not an easy thing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hope your fur babies are
doing well!!
Kerry, Bandy, and Inky
