The topic: Vet just called
----------------------------------------------

Georgie hasn’t lost ANY weight in four months and his values are better. His BUN is now 31 (vet said down from 38, but back in February I had put 35 down, so I’m wondering if he told me wrong in February or I wrote it down wrong) and his Creat is now 2.2, where it had been 2.7.

So, the Calcitriol is working for him! Like the vet said that George won’t ever have good kidneys again, but we are managing the disease.

Next week, DaNiece will go in for her thyroid recheck.

Well, not a whole donut, but I took him in this morning to have a blood recheck for his kidneys. His Calcitriol prescription is almost gone and it’s refilled at a pharmacy out of state.

Getting him into the carrier was fun, I tried putting him in face first to start with and all four legs went into a spread stance and he wouldn’t fit. So, I tried putting him in back end first and he grabbed my shirt shoulder and climbed up on me. It took me a couple of minutes before he went all the way in and then he started to cry.

I just took him in and they took him into the back to draw blood. While he was back there, I walked over to the local donut shop, got a couple of donuts for me and Brian and one just for the cats to share. And a dozen assorted for the vet’s office.

He was fine once they’d drawn the blood, not a peep out of him on the way home.

When we got home, I opened up the carrier, Georgie came out and I shut the carrier door before Marco took up residence (Marco loves laying in the carriers) and put it away, took the donuts to the kitchen, grabbed one that I got for me and came back to the office and turned on the monitor. Georgie came back, jumped up into his sleepy spot and I started ripping off pieces of my donut for him.

Georgie really likes donuts. He was such a good boy, so brave. He deserved some donut.
