Upset & worried


Katies renal disease is getting worse. She has lost muscle mass. She was put back onto antibiotics last week because she was leaving damp patches & her protein levels were very high. The antibiotics arent working. She is deteriorating.

Today she wet her bed at lunchtime & twice tonIght. The duvet beds are waterproof beds from Rosie's days - they are a godsend as you only have to wash the covers. As she was lying on the floor i saw it dribbling from her - shes totally unaware

Im taking her to the vet in the morning along with Harvey who is due his booster.

Its barely 9 months from we lost Rosie to Liver disease. My dad died suddenly 12 months ago & yesterday we learned that my older brother has prostate cancer.

Tonight i feel numb

Oh No Velvet. *hugs*

How hard to hear that. Poor Katie. And poor you, that the medication she's on to be so obviously failing like that. Plus, as you said, everything else that you're dealing with right now.

I do so hope that the vet is able to help her, and that she's back to her normal self again soon.

*more hugs*

Helen , i have just seen your post and i'm so sorry.
I do hope the vets can do something for Katie.
It must have been a nightmare to lose your dad, i can't imagine what you feel like.
I hope the prognosis for your brother is good.

Re: Upset & worried


What a horrid time you are having. Poor Katie, at least she is unware so not stressed by weeing without knowing.

I do hope that the vet suggests something that helps her.

Hope also that the prognosis for your brother is favourable.

(((hugs))) for you.
