Shakespear's kidneys are failing :(

  1. {{{Shakespeare & Sky}}} he is a handsome fella, my crew just sent a friend's request also....

    FF50, thank you for that info on the B12, I didn't realize that either and wonder if it would have helped both Max and Kinker when they were getting subQ from the doctor. I will keep note of it now, again thank you. One question do you know if it works the same for dogs?

  3. I'm sorry to hear about Shakespear. Here's hoping that they can get him stabilised so that you can bring him home with you soon.

  4. He's home :) It looks like he has lost some weight, and his hair is falling out - so lots of brushing in store for tonight. As soon as he got out of the carrier, he ate some food, drank water for ages, and then he went to the litterbox. After that he just plopped down on his couch and went to sleep, like nothing ever happened . . . *sigh*

  5. aww sweet little guy. I can hear him breathing a sigh of relief when he plopped down on his couch, "good to be home with mom", before falling asleep.

  6. This is wonderful news that he is home!! I use a b vitamin in my CRF boy and he is on lysine which aids his immune system. I sure hope that he continues to improve and now that he is home with you Sky he will have all the love and support that he needs!

  9. I'm glad that you were able to bring Shakespear home. Do they have you giving him fluids? I hope he's able to stick around with you a while longer.

  10. They said to bring him in if he gets dehydrated again. I've seen them do subq fluids before, i' sure i could figure it out. The boy is still konked out on the couch, sleeping like a log. I'll be going to the health store tomorrow to get the lysine and vit b and phosphate binders (??). Each challenge brings an opportunity to learn something new . . .

  17. SubQ isn't hard to do, although it helps to have a second person with you. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he won't need fluids again for a while, though.

  18. So glad Shakespear is home and doing better.

    Administering SubQ fluids isn't hard. When I did it for my first cat, Whiskers (she had chronic kidney failure and was on her last 4 days with me before going to the Bridge) they had the bag with the tube attached and a needle at the end with a sealed plastic cap on it. I just removed the cap and entered the needle in the scruff area of her neck. My vet showed me how to do it and yours should be able to show you too. Hopefully you won't need to but it is good to have some on hand just in case.

    Sending prayers and hugs for both you and Shakespear.
