Fred Pete - no news on Teddy yet?
The preliminaries (done in the office Tuesday night) look very good. His creatinine dropped from 6.5 to 4.4 -- 2.5 is the top end of normal. His red blood levels climbed from 15 to 17 -- better but still anemic. Proteins were 8.3, which was up a bit.
The (new) vet also sent the sample to the lab for more detailed analysis, which should come in today. Meanwhile, we've cut back on the prednisone and cut out the respiratory medication completely, which makes everybody happy. She won't say Teddy is out of the woods, but we're no longer talking in terms of a matter of days.
He's acting more like his old self, too. I got a claw in the upper lip while we were giving him his meds Wednesday morning.
Woohoo for feisty kitties!
Those sound like wonderful numbers, Fred. And sometimes a claw in the lip can be an oddly wonderful thing. Or, well, you know what I mean, anyway.
Yay, Teddy! And for the House of Pete!
A little blood in the sewing, DJ? What is this dress for?
In costumes its considered good luck. In that dress? You don't
need
luck.
I made a list. a very long list of things to get done. making a huge list does not lead to anything getting done. sigh.
{{Suzi and Mom}} best to wait for the right one I guess
I really need to clean the BBQ, the bathroom, and straighten up the den & kitchen. What I want to do is lay on the couch with my cats and read the latest Us magazine with Nicole Richie on the cover.
A plea:
Please do not call to register for something I have to prepare materials for the day before the freaking thing takes place.
Please do not call 4 times in a row to try and get the person you want to talk to. (5 as I'm typing this)
Please write down the information I'm giving you, as I give it to you.
If you do ask me for information over the phone, do not, after hearing me explain, ask me if I can email it to you.
Do not snap at me with, "That's. not. what. I. was. told." I cannot help what someone else told you. I can only tell you the process as I know it.
The above will keep me from cutting a bitch as it has already been a very bad week.
