Good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the coffee Tonya.
Weather has turned back to mild and damp here; wonder if that's our lot for winter, or whether we'll get some more frost and maybe even a little snow this year...

Morning! Thanks for the coffee!
I got the dogs walked and now in for a mug of warmup.
60mph 80mph winds coming in tomorrow so I guess it is, "get ready for that day."
Enjoy the day you all!

@DobieLover how did the Dad House assessment go?

It went well. We won't know the final value until Friday or Monday but they were throwing around very favorable numbers.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I never gave an update on Mogwai after her appointment when I thought she was in renal failure. Her blood work came back good. But she'd gone from 6.5 pounds to 5.1 pounds as of 12/22. We tried Hill's Science Diet AD and ID and the vet discussed trying 2.5 mg of famotidine (Pepcid AC) to help with her stomach. At first I thought it was helping but she inevitably started throwing up her food again. She sleeps a lot but does not appear to be in pain. Purrs. Enjoys laying with you.
But she is now down to 4.8 pounds. That's the equivalent to a 130 pound person dropping to 97 pounds. The vet suggested doing an ultrasound but to what end? If something was found, it's not like she could have surgery at her age.
I'm wrestling with all this. I don't feel she's suffering but do feel she will, and soon, if she can't get some weight on and keep her food down. She'll start having organ failure. I think I need to just make the appointment and let her go. I just don't know when exactly.
