Jezebel Went to the Vet Today Too


Jezebel just got home from the vet, and they said her glucose levels were perfect. We are supposed to keep giving her 2.5 units of insulin, twice daily.

Farley Went to the Vet Today


Farley went back to the vet today after his visit 10 days ago on 9/20/2008.

Farley weighs 5 pounds, 10 ounces today. This is up 2.5 ounces.

His BUN levels were down to 45 from 60. (good)

His Creatinine was up to 2.6 from 2.3. (not good)

The vet said we can start giving him his potassium supplements every other day instead of daily.

Otherwise, most of his levels from the bloodwork appear to be in the normal range. The biggest problem is that he refuses to eat. He hates KD in a can. He seems to mostly not want dry KD, but he will eat it from time to time. We've tried a small amount of dry NF, and he seemed to be curious about it. We haven't tried canned NF, but it is next on the list.

This morning, before going to the vet, Farley ate a tiny amount of Nutro Weight Management food from a pouch. He seemed really interested in it, but what he needs to do is gain some weight.
