Miracle Kidney Kitty

A quick update on our cat, our resilient Chunk. He seemed to be on the way down and after the vet checked lab values, she said his only real hope was IV fluids. Given the emotional and financial cost of that prospect, we declined and took him home. At her insistence we took some fluids to put under his skin to ease the discomfort associated with kidney failure. Chunk, however, figured that was all he needed and since starting fluid therapy has bounced back nicely.

He definitely isn’t all they way cured and we know it is now a matter of time. But, that time could be days or years… and we should all appreciate the extra time we get with loved ones. He is very affectionate but with the same sense of attitude, especially after getting his fluids.

So, for the time being he’s doing well and we are grateful and happy to have our friend still with us.
