More problems for Fabes

[candyshandy]

I've taken him to the hospital today as they wanted to try giving him an overnight infusion of pamidronate as a last ditch attempt to bring those calcium levels down.

She's just called me to say he's aneamic, has lost more weight and has blood in his urine. They want to now do the infusion over 24 hours.:cry:

I think I might be losing him......:cry:

[Elaine]

Oh CS, I am so very sorry to be reading this xxx I have everything crossed for your gorgeous boy xxx

[babycakes]

I'm sorry to hear Fabes is still not too good. I have everything here crossed for you XXXX Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news for you, stay strong XX Big healing vibes coming Fabes' way

[Mags]

Really sorry to read this CS - healing vibes to Fabes.

[random]

I'm so sorry to hear this news, here's hoping for a better update in the morning. x

[Kim]

Thinking of you. Keep strong Fabes! ((hugs))

[candyshandy]

It's not good news, Fabes is slipping away.:cry:

He's still at the hospital and so is Sol. Sol may be needed to give Fabes some of his blood so I can bring him home. Fabes is currently undergoing treatment to promote red blood cells but if this fails then Sol may be able to donate.

If we can get Fabes over this hurdle then I could have 6 quality weeks with him.

As you can imagine I'm devastated at the moment.:cry: :cry:

[Moli]

So very sorry to read this CS...hoping so much the treatment works for Fabes....
Thoughts and Hugs with you...........xxx

[angieh]

My heart goes out to you CS and to Fabes and Sol too. Merlin sends purrrrrrs and I send ****HUGS**** to you too.

[dandysmom]

Not good. I'm so sorry to hear this; hugs and prayers coming for you all......

[Mags]

I'm so very sorry to hear this CS :( I sincerely hope the treatment works for Fabes.

((((hugs)))) to you, stay strong for your boy...

[babycakes]

Oh CS I am so very very sorry, this has upset me so much to hear this. I have everything crossed that the transfussion works.

Big big hugs to you right now you know where we are if you need us XXX

[EmmaG]

So sorry to hear this, I have got everything crossed for you here.

[yola]

Candice - you have fought so hard for your boy, I am so full of admiration for you. I hope that the situation can be reversed, BUT through your worry and hopes for him to recover please, please spare a moment to consider whether it might be better for him to let him gently slip away.

Please don't think I'm being heartless or think I'm speaking out of turn - having seen pictures of your darling Fabes I just wanted to hug him . . . it's just something that we all need to take into account; reigning in our emotions and being objective for the good of the pets we love.

I do however hope and pray that he rallies around and you can spend continued quality time with him.

Many hugs.

[candyshandy]

Its ok Yola I understand what you're saying.

I had a long chat with the vet tonight and I asked her if I was doing the right thing. She said that she would in no way recommend this if she felt it was detrimental to Fabes.

There will be no more 'try this try that' after this week.

[Daisy-Doo]

Fingers and paws tightly crossed, here.

[MrsH]

I'm so sorry to hear your update of Fabes' condition. I hope the current treatment plans help him.

[candyshandy]

Fabes is a bit brighter today so they will reassess him tomorrow to see if he needs a transfusion or not. They have even had some purrs out of him!

Sol has passed most of the tests - just the last cross match which is being done now.

[angieh]

Thanks for updating us CS. All sorts of healing vibes and positive thoughts winging their way to you, Fabes and Sol.

[yola]

Oh I'm (I@m) so glad that he's picking up - I really am!!!

And I'm so relieved that you're not angry with my post. I wondered whether it was tactless, but I had a similar experience with Ferdy (my old black FIV boy) and it's always bothered me that I put him through operations just so that I wouldn't have to deal with loosing him.

Hugs to you and Fabes (and Sol).

[dandysmom]

Very relieved that the latest word is better! Hang in there, good vibes still coming .....

[Elaine]

Am thinking of you and Fabes CS xxx

[Moli]

Good to hear he is picking up......thoughts with you..........x

[babycakes]

Fingers still tightly crossed here. I am glad fabes is doing well today X

[Mags]

So pleased Fabes is brighter today, thinking of you both..

[candyshandy]

Just to let you know my boys are home. Currently snuggled on sofa with Fabes :)

[Elaine]

I am so pleased they are both home with you again CS. I take it they didnt go ahead with the transfusion?
Whatever, I am very very happy that Fabes is home with you and enjoying some cuddle time on the sofa. Has Madam Foofoo relaxed now that the boys are home again?
Please give them all a cuddle for me please and an extra big one for Fabes. xxx

[Mags]

Wonderful news that your boys are back home with you, CS! :D

[candyshandy]

No they didn't do the transfusion because she feels he is sorting his blood cells himself. :)

Foofoo is loads better and a lot quieter!!!!!

xx

[Elaine]

Good for Fabes xxx:D I bet he's really pleased to be back home again too xxx Has Sol got his apetite back now too?
Bless those fluffs xxxx
Oh and hugs to you too CS xxx

[candyshandy]

Yep - Sol has already had a good scoff! :)

[Moli]

Pleased and so relieved they are back home, and Fabes is improving....

[dandysmom]

Happy news, CS!! A chin tickle for the boys from me, and a hug to you......

[candyshandy]

Fabes doesn't have a lot of time left so I'm just going to take each day at a time and enjoy our time together - Me, Fabes, Sol and Foofoo, my little fluff family.

xxxx

[Kay]

Glad the boys are back where they belong. Give them all a hug from Auntie Kay.

Thinking of you.

[MrsH]

Lovely that Fabes is home again with you.

[candyshandy]

Fabes has had a great couple of days - very bright and bouncy :)

He has also now developed a taste for roast chicken and is still eating the wet renal food he ate at the hospital. This is a cat who would not touch anything but biscuits for love nor money previously!

He has been outside in the sunshine today and is currently upstairs in his new bed with a heat pad :)

He is having lots of tlc and cuddles and Sol and Foofoo are looking after him too.

[yola]

I'm so happy that Fabes is back at home where he can relax amongst familiar surroundings and friends. Much, much love to him, to the other fluffs and to you too.
