not what we hoped for.
although moses is doing better in a lot of ways, the blood work still indicates that this is a case of chronic kidney failure. getting him to eat and doing the fluids helps a lot of the numbers, but the number that really indicates how the kidneys are functioning has not really improved the way it would have if this was acute failure due to a drug he was on.
so i will continue to manage the situation as best as possible with care at home and who knows how much longer he will be with me. days, weeks, months, there is no way to know.

I'm sorry.
Although I've only been taking care of my charges for 8 months or so, I'm already really attached. The oldest one, Otto, is the one I'm most attached to. I'm already worried that he might kick off before he's no longer my responsibility. I mean, he's fine right now, but he's about 12, and I'll be caring for him until he's 14 or 15, probably....
