Well, it's been another busy day! I'm thinking China probably went lower after I had to leave at +5.5 so we may be bouncing a bit tonight since 157 is a little high for her...guess time will tell!

The urgent care clinic called me this morning and said to take DM to the hospital because her liver enzymes were really high. This scared me to death since none of her bloodwork had any indication of liver problems up until now. Ends up that she mis-spoke when she said "liver"....Mom's kidney values were the ones that were bad but I didn't know this until long after we'd gotten to the ER and they'd drawn more blood

Her creatinine today is 3.4...Normal is under 1, and when she was admitted on Monday night, it was 1.9. (Thursday night's trip to the ER it was "normal"..for her anyway at 1.3) and she still hasn't eaten anything since last Saturday and hasn't been drinking enough either due to the nausea. She's at a different hospital this time and they've already done a CT scan of her abdomen (negative) and are going to do some other tests tomorrow to see if there's any physical reason for the bloating. I also asked the doctor to order a psych consult and he agreed that this all may be psycho-somatic. At least they're doing something this time!

Thank you to everyone who's sent vines...Hopefully this time we'll get some answers...or some help

Lots of thoughts and prayers headed your way, Chris! Sounds incredibly stressful. Hope your mom feels better and the doctors figure out what's wrong.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Are they giving her anything for the nausea. (Ondansatron works just as well for humans as it does for kitties.)

She had been given Zofran in a tablet to put under her tongue on Thursday Sienne, but it hadn't helped her much. Yesterday the doctor gave her Pherergan which also didn't seem to do much.

Today they gave her the Zofran IV and it did seem to help...and as long as she doesn't continue to need them, I can use the Zofran pills if I have a sick kitty too

Thoughts and prayers for your mom, Chris. I hope they will find a medicine that works.

Hugs and scritches,

Oh, Chris, I'm so sorry this is still not resolved, but I'm glad she's in the hospital where they can monitor her and keep her hydrated. I hope they figure it out soon and get it taken care of. I'm sure she's just as tired of it as you are - more!

Sending healing vines and prayers for your DM, and scritches and safe surfing vines to China, who really has been such a good girl through all this. Hugs to you! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Hi Chris. I'm sending prayers for your mom too. Since her kidney numbers were normal before this, once she is hydrated and they figure out what is going on, the kidney values will improve and likely return to normal. My mom's are higher than they should be but not drastically so and do go up with dehydration and UTI too. :YMHUG:
