Taking Brendel For Fluids Today

Today will be Brendel's third trip to the vet for fluids, for her kidney disease. After the next one, she goes back a week later to have her labs repeated. Then we will know what stage her kidney disease is at, which will tell us more of what is going on with her and how fast it is progressing. The goal is to slow down the progression. It cannot be cured but slowed. She ate salmon again last night. I was happy about that. But this morning I found where she threw up twice. Hopefully the fluids will help her today. She is sleeping of course. Snapped this photo in the nice sunshine this morning. She would rather be sleeping than having her photo taken.

@CarolDM Poor Brendel. Is is hard for you to get him into his cage? I hope it can be slowed down and then how long will she have to be with you and Dude? That is great that she ate the salmon again. I am so sorry she threw up twice and that it did not help. How does she seem to you?

@CarolDM Glad no throwing up again. I hope she will be with you quite some time. That is nice that she is easy to put in her crate.

No, she doesn't mind getting into her crate. I put her in quickly. I hope so as well. The Dude seems fine for now. She seems about the same. No throwing up last night or today so far.

Poor kitty . It doesn't sound very good if she is throwing up her food. I don't envy your situation. Sometimes I worry something might be wrong with Nico, as he doesn't seem as lively as he should be at his age, but I guess he is a cat now and not a kitten..and on hot days who can blame them? Good luck at the vet! fingers crossed..
