a good mo check-up
just heard from the vet and it's mostly all good news. his creatine level has dropped again to 3.5 which is really great. that's the main indicator of how well his kidneys are functioning and how much the fluids are helping. apparently, a lot.
other things that must be monitored in the crf cat are at normal levels-- phosphorus, potassium, and blood pressure.
blood sugar was still normal, so i was indeed wrong about the diabetes being back.
finally, he has become slighly anemic again but not dramatically. he'll get another epogen shot tomorrow and given his past response to the drug, that should hold him for another two weeks.
so, here's hoping we can keep him at this good place for a while to come. everything is very manageable right now and i like it like that. he's also obviously feeling pretty good and happy.
