OZZIE UPDATE (by Ozzie's Dad)

Hello.

As you know Ozzie went for his check up last week and his Blood Test results came back at the end of the week and are now showing his Kidney Function readings are all sky high !. The Vet has said the damage is irreversible and there is not many options left to treat him.

He is still not eating very well, just a lick of the gravy and that's it, we have tried all sorts of different foods to try and tempt him but nothing seems to work. The appetite stimulants do not seem to be working, neither are the anti nausea tablets. He is still drinking OK so at least he's keeping up his fluid levels . He still loves going out in the Garden but his legs are getting weak so he can't jump up so high now.

We took him back to Vets yesterday afternoon and the Vet is not very hopeful of a good outcome. He was given an injection of fluids & Vitamin B12 plus Steroids, Famotidine and Mirtazipine. Unfortunately so far he has still turned down all the food we have given him...not good !

Just got to give him a bit more time to see if we can turn him around.

We are so very sad but we must keep being Positive.

Anyway we hope and Pray he will start to eat properly.

We must also say a big thank you to all his Twitter Pals that have been so supportive with your Prayers & Good Wishes throughout his illness we so appreciate them.

VET VISIT AGAIN TODAY !

Hi Pals.

It was the day of my Vet Visit and I'm afraid it was not good news, my Kidneys are struggling and not working very well, probably caused by the Chlorambucil Tablets. Mum & Dad have been worried about me for a few weeks now. I have not been eating properly, just licking a bit of gravy off my food & that's it. I have also gone off my Treats as well ! (I try to eat them but they taste wrong and I spit them out again) Mum & Dad have tried all sorts of things to temp me (Sardines, Tuna, Salmon, Chicken the list goes on) but nothing tastes good anymore. I have lost nearly a Kilo in weight in five weeks ! For the last 2 weeks I have been taking Fomotidine to settle my stomach and Mirtazapine to help stimulate my appetite, which has helped but I'm still not eating enough.

Lucy the vet took a blood sample to check my blood count which will be back in a few day, checked my lymph nodes which were still down which is good news and she decided that I stop taking the Chlorambucil Tablets for the time being and just continue with the steroids, which is good for Mum & Dad because I have had to have Tablets by Pill gun now (You can't crush the Chlorambucil) I do not co-operate to say the least and get very distressed about it so they have been giving me my other tablets by crushing them and mixing them with Butter & smearing it on my front leg which I have no choice but to lick it off !

While I was at the Vets Lucy gave me a couple of injections one with vitamins & another one to help hydrate me. Have  also got some Hills a/d critical care high protein food to try and some Ocoxin liquid supplement. 

I still like to go on Patrol in the morning but don't usually stay out too long, I get tired quickly and my back legs are a bit weak at the moment so I can't jump up to high. 

That's all for now Pals will do an update very soon.

x Lots of Luv x
