Our vet is holistic and believes more in supporting the body and helping it toward health rather than overloading Casey's system with diet restrictions and medications. So we kept her on her diet [Nature's Variety], made sure she got enough water, and placed her on some homeopathic drops and a renal pill that would help her system process.
That worked for a while. Now she is apparently moving on to the next stage. She's not as active and her appetite has decreased. So today I learned how to give her subcutaneous fluids which I will have to do daily for a while and then probably every other day. More lab work is in her future as well.
I don't know how long she has. This might perk her up for a while. Or she may go downhill quickly and join her sister Charlotte over the Rainbow Bridge.
But whatever time she has with me I will make sure is she is happy and comfortable.
Very sorry to hear about Casey. This is something we know we'll have to eventually deal with in some shape or form with all of our fur babies.
ReplyDeleteAt least she is in the best of care and will be in comfort for her remaining time.
A kiss and cuddle from me to Casey.
