Nelly Has More Bloodwork Friday

I don't know. I'm so torn about this. Nelly goes in on Friday afternoon for another check of her kidney levels (they can do creatinine and BUN and the BUN:creat. ratio in house). The vet and DH want to do it; the specialist and I kind of don't see the point. We're doing everything we can; if it's bad news, we can't do more for her, so what's the point in knowing that it's bad? If it's good (meaning, no worse than the current level of bad), then we've bought some peace of mind for a bit, I guess.

 

Anyway, she's had a really good week, and I know DH is anxious to know if the sub-cu fluids and the Azodyl are helping at all, plus we need to get her weighed, to see if she's eating enough. And, gosh, it's been a whole week since Nelly saw her friends at the clinic! :rolleyes:

 

So--somebody in our household needs prayers, and I'm not sure if it's Nelly or me! :lol So if you can spare some good thoughts--if not for numbers holding steady, then at least for us to bear up under whatever the news is... I'd sure appreciate it.

 

Thanks. :blush

It might be good to know to see how she feels. She might not show it. Sub Q's help a lot to feel better. I am sorry your heart is dealing with this :(

 

I hope she feels good and hangs in there!

Thank you, everyone! We just got back (the appointment wasn't until 4:30), and the news is good--her numbers have held steady (creatinine is even a little lower) since last week. I'm weak with relief. This means that what we're doing, so far, is doing its job.

 

I have to give enormous props to our Doc. He's thrown himself into Nelly's case, reading up on everything kidney, consulting with specialists, even investing in a blood pressure kit!! When we got there today, he showed us the hand-drawn graph he's been making, plotting Nelly's numbers as far back as 2005. Nelly has the best doctors in the world. :)

 

So. We've bought ourselves one night of relaxation, at least... if not a few days. Nelly came home and finished off her lunch, and after the kids have their bone time here, we're gonna go for a really long walk.

 

Thanks, everyone. I'm gonna try and not let worry overwhelm me this time next week.
