Daftcat75, That's terrible about your Krista! I don't know how you're dealing with it all! I'm having a hard enough time with this. He's about 10 pounds now. He was a bit heavier before but he lost a little weight after spending two days at the vets office (just sitting around not being looked...

Apologies for the long windedness and possibly not making any sense. I'm pretty shredded after dealing with this for the last almost two months now.

Daftcat75, thank you so much for your help! And for all the stuff I give him the egg yolk is mixed in with his food. I bottle feed him at least three to five times a day in an effort to keep the digestive tract moving. I mix the slippery elm, marshmallow root, and miralax in a small one ounce...

Ok, so just gave him an enema because he was just too miserable to wait and he had an epic poop. So I'm thankful in that sense, but he's stuck in the bathroom until tomorrow. At least he's more comfortable now. Hopefully a new vet will have some ideas. I'm at my wit's end.

Whew! First I'd just like to thank you all for your kind words of encouragement and advice. Thankfully Arlo has returned to using his litter box - at least at home. He peed in his carrier today on the way to a new vet - he probably couldn't hold it any longer, poor guy. And yes, we went to a...

kellie, Thanks for that link! I've already discovered it. That's why I thought he had low potassium. I'm still trying to get through it. mick, Thank you for your help! This vet has very good reviews, that's why we chose him. At the same time I do feel a bit left hanging in the wind. Part of...

Hi there, I'm hoping I can find, I don't know, some reassurance I guess? Sorry for this being so long. My dearest, sweetest Arlo was diagnosed with kidney failure on Monday. The vet gave him some fluids that day before we even got the test results back because he was dehydrated I guess. When...
