Congratulations on one month quit @JustinHoot99, you should be so proud of yourself! And thank you for being such an active supportive member here I hope you do something special for you today!

Maybe it was an example of everything he knows?

My husband said she looks miserable, cone on her head and tube down her nose. I just really think that could be why she's not eating so I asked him to remind them to try without the tube in. Keeping fingers crossed it works. Thanks for your prayers

Doesn't it just make us look smarter having a couple?

@Boo, you might be right! Got a pretty encouraging follow-up call just now. Cookies numbers are still improving. One came down significantly from where it was. She still isn't eating on her own and they suggested we come visit her to see if that works so my husband went down. I'm afraid if I go she'll wonder why I'm leaving and not taking her with me like I always do and we don't want any setbacks now. I also think it could be the feeding tube in her nose that's making her not want to eat so suggested they take it out and try. They said that was a possibility and they may try that. So thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts, I think they're working.....

I think the happiest person can't be happy ALL the time

Doesn't everyone?

I know a couple people who THINK they know everything does that count?

Wasn't it anything OR everything?

I brought a couple friends too

@Linda, they are trying to get her to eat on her own but she's refused so far. They'll try throughout the day, run more tests around 4:00pm and will call an hour or two later with their recommendations and if she can come home Thank you for asking.....

Yep, you have to be ready. I make sure to tell everyone about our site whenever the opportunity presents itself but its up to them to make that decision. We've had 9 new members sign up in the last month which I think is pretty darn good I also remember lurking as a guest my first few weeks quit before signing up so there's just no telling how many people are getting help here but don't want to register for one reason or another. And that's ok too

About everything or anything?

I guess we should be happy its usually two hours instead of one lol

Edwin

I'd be happy if I didn't have to get up out of bed and pee every two hours

Unfortunately because of her pancreatitis she'll be on a strict low fat prescription diet. But yes, she'll be home and she won't have to die alone with people she doesn't know. When the time comes the mobile vet will come to the house and I'll be able to stroke her over the rainbow bridge

@Katgirl, that's awesome news from your cardiologist!

Vet just called, Cookie's kidneys showed an improvement but not like he'd hoped to see with all the treatment she's getting. She'll stay another 24 hours and they'll run the tests again and try getting her to eat solid food (she has a feeding tube in). He's hoping she'll be able to come home tomorrow evening but said he didn't think she had much more time left once she's home

@Sparkles, I saw you had your new one in your About Me instead of your signature. That was what the problem was. I moved it to your signature.

Still waiting to hear from the vet. They had an emergency come in so he was unable to talk but will call later

@Linda, not too good. Called and checked on Cookie and the news wasn't good. Her last urine test a coupe weeks ago showed borderline kidney disease and her numbers went significantly higher since then. They're going to recheck here urine levels tomorrow after they get electrolytes into her and see if they come down and if they haven't gone down then he thinks it may be best to let her go...
