My update from the vets today.....

My Xmas card.. please take if you would like one...





Everyone today I was at the vet again and here is my report.. Mum and dad told him that with the help of the tablets I am eating and.... I am managing to eat half and half with the renal food and the proper food.. I had my heart tested and I was weighed. I am holding my weight with no gain but no loss either, a good thing. My heart is holding steady with the tablets and my kidneys must be too , so the medication is keeping me stable.. Up to now the vet would only give me enough heart and kidney tablets for a few days because he didn't want to tempt fate with any more. Today the vet said he was so pleased with me and he was going to let me have a whole month before I go again. I can not tell you how happy that made mum and dad feel. I am to go in towards the end of January and stay half a day to have my blood pressure measured and my blood taken , both to see how my kidneys are holding up. They are trying to get some of appetite tablets from a human supplier and hopefully will get them soon as I only have a very few left.


Both mum and dad and the vets did not think I would be here to see Christmas.. I am and hopefully with the help of the brilliant vets and my medication I will get a little while longer yet.. Mum and dad both said this is the best Christmas present ever.. I have to agree... Thank you all my friends for being with me through all this, I so appreciate you all... With much love.....
