Hi all,
Hope everyone is OK.
Its with great sadness that I'm posting today but I could really do with all your help, advice, support and prayers.....
Our beautiful 4.5 year old furbaby became ill out of the blue a week ago today. He was walking slowly and low (if that makes sense) squinting his eyes, being sick with just bile, laying down and then began to have seizures.
I phoned the vet right away and took him straight up there, they checked him iver and said they would keep him in and run bloods and vitals.....I got a call after hours later to advise his creatinine kidney failure levels were very high with they knowis consistent with poison and so he needed to stay in on an iv with fluids flushing him out for next 48hrs and bloods repeated daily.
The severe levels kept rising over the days despite treatment.
On Sunday (the one just gone) they called me at 7am and said his blood results were off the scale and the machine was unable to compute the levels they were so high! They advised us they couldn't do anymore so to bring him home and make him comfortable. I was made to believe he only had hours left
Its now today and hes been gradually getting more and more energy and is still going by the back door to go out (we've not letvhim out as we want to keep an eye on him and keep him safe!) Hes drinking and weeing. Not ate a lot but is nibbling on ham, tuna and treats. He will have a little short play with string with me and is sleeping otherwise in intervals.
I called the vet yesterday to explain this and they said there's not much they can due as the levels were so high and damage done is irreversible so to just keep him comfortable and keep and eye on him and enjoy the time we can spend with him.
My question is, has anyone seen this and got any advice, support or experience who can comment with these and maybe advice on anything I can do at home for him!?
So sorry for the essay. I wanted to give the full situation. Thanks in advance xx
