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.
