Fabes is in hospital

[candyshandy]

I took Fabes to the hospital today for his 6 weekly hypercalceamia checkup and I've had to leave him there.:cry:

His calcium levels are now normal but his kidneys aren't functioning and as a result he is severely constipated.:cry:

They have also found a significant amount of blood in his urine and he has gone from 4.1 kilos to 3.4 kilos since December.

He will now be on renal food and once I get him home I will have to administer fluids:?

He will having his bloods done again in the morning and if he's ok (and the enema hasn't worked) he will have an op to get rid of the poo.

If his bloods aren't ok then he'll have to stay another night :cry:

Please cross everything that I can bring him home tomorrow because he does get stressed out there.

Healing vibes being sent to Fabes. Everything crossed that he will be allowed home with you this morning {{{Hugs}}}

[Moofster]

awww many positive healthy vibes whizzing over for Fabes and some hugs for you - it's a worry when they are not at home, but of course we know they are getting the best attention !

keep us posted !!

[yola]

Candice, hugs to you and Fabes; I do hope he's home with you really, really soon and feeling much better too.

[candyshandy]

I've spoken to the hospital today and his blood levels are still high so he is to stay in again on fluids and then hopefully they can flush him out tomorrow.

I asked them if he had managed to eat anything and they said no. When I asked what food they gave him - they said wet renal. I specifically told them that he will not eat wet food last night and it should also be on his notes!!

That means my lad hasn't had any food for 24 hours :(

[angieh]

So sorry the news isn't better. We've all got out fingers and other bits and pieces crossed for Fabes. ***HUGS***

[alexgirl73]

awww, poor you and poor Fabes ((hugs)) Fingers crossed that he picks up today and is home soon.

[Moli]

Healing vibe coming your way, hope he improves soon....

[babycakes]

How annoying about the food... Hope he's feeling better soon

[pinklizzy]

Poor boy! Sorry to hear about the food, it's possible that it was done to try and increase his fluid intake but if you specifically told them he didn't like wet food, he should have been offered it when he didn't eat.

[Elaine]

So sorry to read that fabes is still in the vets CS. I know how worried you are for him and I sincerely hope that he is home with you tomorrow. If you want to chat, you know where i am hun xxx

[candyshandy]

I've just spoken to the vet and he's a lot brighter today and responsive. :)

She wants to do the de-poo op tomorrow and keep him in on fluids until Friday :(

I'll also have a practical hands on lesson on how to give him fluids - aargh!

Elaine - thanks for all your help so far, I'm sure I'll be pestering you a bit more! Vet is going to look into Miralex to see if that will be suitable.

Thanks to everyone for their support, it really helps.

xxxx

[Elaine]

The fluids really will help him CS, I know its worrying and upsetting when they are away from home. Hope he isnt too stressed.
Dont pannick about the Sub-q's, you'll do just fine. Remember to remain calm, take a deep breath and take your time. I know you can do it chum. xxx

[PoshPuss]

Glad to hear Fabes has improved Candice, hope my fluffy friend continues to get better. I know he's in good hands :-)

[candyshandy]

He's had the procedure to depoo him today and he's staying in on fluids. His urea and creatine levels are still not in the normal range so they are going to assess him in the morning to see if he can home :(

[angieh]

Everything is crossed for him here!!!

[dandysmom]

Crossed here also, and healing vibes coming.....

[Elaine]

CS, I am hoping that Fabes is coming home with you today, you must be really missing him.

[candyshandy]

I am Elaine - sitting by the phone waiting..........

[Elaine]

Fingers crossed for you both chum xxx

[dandysmom]

Any news now, CS?

[candyshandy]

His levels have come down but the urea one is still just above normal so he's staying on fluids for another night.

Fingers crossed he's ok to come home tomorrow.

[angieh]

Definitely fingers crossed CS!

[dandysmom]

Crossed here too........

[babycakes]

Aww poor baby and poor you, big cuddles for him tomorrow XX

[candyshandy]

He's had a mad dash around and the others have given him a good sniff:lol:

[alexgirl73]

YAY!!! so glad to hear he is back home, how is he now CS?

[candyshandy]

He seems fine, very bright and alert.

His creatine levels are fine and urea are just one point above normal.

I'll be giving him his first lot of sub q fluids later ........

[dandysmom]

Back home, wonderful! Hope the fluid administering goes well.....

[babycakes]

Welcome home Fabes

[candyshandy]

Just done 30mls and he was really good and it was ok once I realised how much pressure to use to get the needle in (was being too soft).;)

[diskinc]

So glad to hear he is home, a happy ending was just what I needed :-)

[Kay]
