I took Lita back to the vet yesterday for a recheck. She had a full panel blood test 4 months ago and the results were not very good with a BUN reading of 100 and her potassium was high. Lita is only 6 1/2 years old and is the best of my 6 cats total as she is very loving
I got the results today from a smaller blood test. Her BUN went down to 72
(2 times too high still) and her potassium level is now normal. I have been giving her Lactated Ringer fluids under her skin 2 times a week for 4 months. The vet recommended back in the beginning at 150 ML per session X 2 times a week. Today I opened up a new bag of fluids and happened to notice that each line on the bag is only 50 ML instead of the 100 ML I have been thinking it was
Lita appears to be doing well......she probably would be doing better if I did not do this mistake. I have accidentally been only giving poor Lita only 100 ML
I felt so stupid for Lita......... ...... and called my vet and told him of this. My vet is pretty mellow and said no problem and laughed.......he told me to give her 200 ML for the next 2 times (Lita will be a little water balloon with whiskers at this amount as she only weighs 7 1/2 pounds now) then decrease the dosage to 150 ML X 2 per week. I just feel soooooo guilty for my mistake as Lita's BUN level probably would be much lower than 72. Any advice or good words would help right now
