Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the big smoke we go!

Two hours of Syba singing 'I do not want to be in this crate' and that is just one way! Might be different on the way back if they have to sedate him for the tests.

The first time we took him down as an emergency, we were sent away for an hour while they performed tests but obviously, we were too distraught to think about shopping. Same when we went to get him, just needed to get him home ASAP. While I love Syba dearly, because I know we will be bringing him home with us, I kind of hope that they send us away for an hour again because I really want to pick up a new pillow while we are in town. I could do it with Syba in the car but he dislikes it so much so we do not prolong the trip or stop unless we have to.

In town and no shopping is just teasing me ;)

Anyways, it is not about me and today, pretty much like every day, is all about Syba! :love

Wish us luck with the results!

Thank You Everyone :hugs

We are back! Considering we took a black cat to see Dr Carl on Friday the 13th, the news is pretty good!

Syba's Creatinine was down to 340 from the 1,800's it was when he was at his worse. 400 is high and rates as Stage 4 [out of 4] on the kidney disease scale. However, his Urea was normal. Usually in kidney disease you see both raised. Dr Carl expects that Syba's case is different to the average CKD cat and in a good way. Also, Syba is a large cat. Creatinine is produced by muscle mass, so, being a bigger cat, he will produce more Creatinine than the average. Urea is also an indication of whether they are feeling unwell or not so Syba must be feeling pretty good and we can see that; he is happy, playing, tormenting Jessie and chasing his little sister around the house.

Anyways, Dr Carl was pleased with his progress and does not need to see him for somewhere between 3 and 6 months. We are starting to gradually introduce Syba to his new special kidney diet as of today.

Today's good news has raised the prognosis of months to now being years and Dr Carl feels possibly more than other cats at the same stage because of his size :D

Oh yeah and I got to buy my new U-Pillow :wee

'The Big Smoke' is basically any city that one heads into if they live in the country ;)
