Thank you, it means a lot to have someone that I can tell all of this to. I'm gonna spend the evening with him and spoil him on goodies and then tomorrow I'll try not to think about it, and just act. I was going to today, but couldn't make myself. I really don't think he'll mind at this point...

I have to say that I'm at my wits end at this point. I want to thank you all for offering so much advice and consideration to Bubby and me. I went to pick him up yesterday at their recommendation. He had looked so confortable on the IV, but just didn't enjoy it there. I thought he might feel...

Well I went back today after they recommended that I come back and visit. His procedure finished. They said he wasn't eating, so they wanted me to try to feed him. As soon as I got there and he saw me, he jumped up and started eating the food they put out for him. I know that strange people make...

I took him to the different vet that I wish I went to the first time, for a second opinion. Unfortunately the diagnosis is the same. On top of that, he took a really bad turn today. They basically said that he's very sick, and probably in pain now. They offered to allow them to try a procedure...

It seems that Bubby is feeling pretty bad today. It's hard to know what to do. I want to take him to another vet to see if there could be another opinion on his diagnisos. I'm afraid theyll just tell me to put him down. I honestly don't know if I'd prefer that or just keep him at home. He was...

Well, it seems the fluid situation has only become more difficult than when I start. I'm having more trouble not making him bleed, or loosing it. He hates it more and more every single day. He's getting very angry when it comes time to do it, which makes me think I'm getting worse, it's hurting...

Appreciate the kindness, from you guys. It's just really tough right now, my heart is broken. My grandma was very dear to us, for so many years. Grandpa died before I was ever even born, so grandma lived independently for many, many years. She used to tell me that her time on Earth was almost...

It's been a rough week for me. Not only did I find out my beloved kitty has kidney failure, but I was just informed today that my grandmother passed. It wasn't exactly an expected passing, but the possibility had been looming for several years. It's difficult to believe. All of the memories just...

Well today was the re-visit. I'm overall pretty dissatisfied with the care given at this place, and I'll be going elsewhere from this point. All the doctor did was pop in, test his skin to tell me he was still dehydrated, recommending I keep giving the fluid and basically said when he stops...

I can't help but wonder why he still wants mostly to retreat under the bed all the time. I know that's a sign that he doesn't feel well, but is it because of the ulcer, an anti-biotic side effect, or his kidneys? He will be a bit social if you insist that he gets on your lap, but left to his...

I think I was incorrect somewhat about last night, I'm really confused about it. When I found him, he had bitten into his tongue pretty bad, but I don't think it was bleeding. The blood I saw on his gums looked pretty dried up, and didn't see any fresh blood coming out. It makes me think that...

Oh no, just when I said things were better. I found him and noticed blood, he bit into his own tongue and it's bleeding! It was stuck on his tooth! Why did this happen? What can I do in the middle of the night??!

This is an update post. The reason I didn't take Bubby to another clinic was because his condition didn't seem to take a turn for the worse as I as thinking the night I posted. I wouldn't say he's great, far from it. But he's doing okay so far. He's still quite thin, and bony. The worst sign...

Yeah, I watched a video on a cat that was badly dehydrated. When they took the blood, the test results showed nearly everything was either too high, or too low. However, a lot of that changed once the cat's hydration got under control. As I've said before, he eats well I think. The food is soft...

What kind of meds? I'm still yet to get an opinion on why they only set me up with three days of fluids. I didn't consider if both issues could be related. The assistant said something about it that made little sense to me. Something about a gather or clustering of cysts? Maybe cyst wasn't the...
