Debra, when do you think you'll get blood work results?!
We are praying for good results on your beautiful boy. For Halloween, i think I'm dressing up as a tired old lady this year. Oh, I won't even need a costume
Looks like another green surfing day for Yoyo!
.... hopefully results today but the office along with thousands of other offices in the country have their servers down. Some kind of corruption took place at main head location. I didn't hear about it on the news. Happened last Friday. So not sure how blood results will be sent to me. Paws crossed that all is good, gets me sooo nervous and when I see that email my stomach flips over.

I don't think Ti-Mousse will visit the beach today, he's in flat yellows since almost 2 days; he'll get an increase tomorrow.
Hope everything is alright with you, I haven't seen you on the site. I have looked for you for several days but I didn't see any posts for Tina. I also hope that I haven't done something to slight youDebra, when do you think you'll get blood work results?!

, thyroid is low-at the bottom of normal, and his hematocrit is getting lower with each blood test.....so not the greatest news but not the worse either.

The vet called with some of the results. They have no computers and thus she can't send the blood report to me
From what she told me though, his kidney values are going up
If you have time, can you please share what you are feeding Tina for her kidney values? Greatly appreciate it
Debra and Yoyo
Thank you...I went on to the site. There is so much information given. One disease leads into another disease and on and on it goes. It was helpful and I saved it to my favorites. I have lots of questions for my vetOh Debra, I'm so sorry I didn't check in with you sooner! I scanned over and watched from afar. DH took off again the end of the week (messed up my routine), and I went on that hair binge and turned pink yesterday. More pets to take care of too.
I sure was hoping for good blood results for Yoyo. I took Tina for blood work this morning. A bit over 3 weeks ago, her creatinine was over 4.3 and BUN was 48, so we started the subq fluids then. It doesn't sound like Yoyo's kidneys are that bad (?) Just aging can cause the overall values to rise. It would be best if you could get that whole report and ask Marje to review! Still soon hopefully.
Soon after diagnosis, I switched Tina from the CKD diet to Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken (3.9% carbs, .82 phos on a dry matter basis). Since her kidneys are worse now, I just don't know if I did the right thing, but she has other issues too with the thyroid (overtreated; now trying to balance) that could be affecting the kidneys. The vet agreed with the Weruva and back to higher protein (instead of low protein in the kidney diets). But that was before her creatinine went up so much. Phosphorus is lowest in the kidney diet food, but carbs are over 25% (don't remember how much).
We both have cats that have to deal with the thyroid and kidney balance, along with FD.
If you want to go over a lot of kidney disease information, the following site is a very good one. However, it may cause unnecessary stress, OR, with me, it actually helped a lot. You may be familiar with it already.

I'm sad I have to get ready to leave again, but I'll be back!
