Kirby has taken a sudden downward turn He slowed down his food consumption midweek last week and I thought it was tummy issues so I gave him pedialyte and baby gas med to get him going again, Sat morning he seemed to be eating greens but still no hay but drinking. I was still giving him the pedialyte but by last night he wasn't eating anything but what I was forcing him to baby food, pumpkin, pedialyte.
His urine had started to run clear on Sat night. When we got to the vet this morning and she ran a blood test on him his C & B numbers are off the charts over 140 and 8.45. She told me his kidney's are failing and she didn't think there was anything that could be done to turn it around. She did give him Sub-Q fluids and he was somewhat perkier when we got home.
I guess what I'm asking is can these numbers be turned around without a lot of money spent at the vet for heroics that aren't going to do anything.
I'm still feeding him all of the above stuff including pineapple juice. He is a little guy at only 3+lbs so it's hard to tell how much is too much he will take some but then he just lets the rest run out.
I'm prepared for the worst but would really like a miracle about now.
Thanks
