[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 64033"] I have cried all day long. Baby Abbey's kidney values have improved, but they are still showing decreased kidney function. Cats can maintain at 25% kidney function and the tests show she's at about 20%. (BUN went from 103 to 46; high range of normal is 33 - and Creatin (sp) went from 4.3 to 1.1 which is in the normal range). So, the vet recommended one more dose of sub-q fluids and continuing the antibiotics - just in case. Although, I don't think either of us expect a difference in the outcome. I think we both feel, though, that we have to give her this one last chance. She was so listless while there. I hesitated about the fluids because I really don't want her to suffer, but I feel like I have to give her this one last chance. But, it's been almost 3 hours and she hasn't really perked up. With the prior fluid administrations, she's perked up quickly. Linda - my vet hasn't charged me an office visit all week. He's charged me for the 2 blood tests ($20 each) and the fluids ($6 each time). I've been going there for years and he knows what I've been going through with my own health. He's truly been wonderful. But then he always has been. [/QUOTE]
