..not great news today. but maybe others have some things they can assure us about.. or suggest. i am seriously taking things, all things generally, and now especially this, one day, one hour, one second at a time..
it would seem its his kidneys.. kidney disease.
came on suddenly, too…… had blood and urinalysis showed urine wasnt concentrated so.. yeah. (?) just 5 weeks or so ago his blood was great. wants us to see an internist.. because it was fast. which i have an appt. but thats not til end of January……. apparently is just treating symptoms and keeping him comfortable.. which sigh. hes to get subcutaneous fluid twice or so a week to get him to his appt.. is there also a supplement or something we could try? (like he takes a tincture for his liver, the thistle.. that has helped tremendously.) cuz these symptoms suck!!!! the muscles in his legs are already gone. hes having a hard time jumping up now.. and hes peeing soo much that sometimes it pools down towards his feet and gets them wet.. and pretty thirsty still. hes acting ok tho considering and appetite is still great. 
(dead in the water otherwise..) but this is raggedy.
guess it wasnt the meds.. idk.
hes been off them a few days, think numbers going back up.. was told can now put him back. says kitties w kidney things get put on them too anyway.. i heard this too on Telmisartan but he wants me to hold off til internist i think he said..
i feel many things rn.. like we’ve been up against a lot. we’ve done our best w all circumstances.. and they had been really nasty at times. i feel badly that this might be due to the FD.. hypertension.. but i tried hard and continue to try to help all these things.. and not like the vets warn you. just sleepless days and nights. so much had to change. some really harsh difficult problems.. i am happy to just leave this garbage year and everything else behind..
so.. its day to day now. part of me was thinking, all this hard work we’ve done.. he’s come down a lot too.. for nothing.
that it just bought time.. not even. but thats all anything is.. day to day. trying to fix things.. make them better.. its just been a lot of work. and it feels cruel.. i just feel less urgency about it all. but hey. 
its quality. and tho i think this or that.. i dont have a clue how this will go. we have our tree up finally.. and im just trying to think how to go about the days..
