I've just spoken to the vet and Fabes is a little bit brighter today - he's had some food, water and a wee. He's a lot more responsive today and apparently just loves his heat mat that they have put in with him. Because of this she wants to wait until tomorrow morning to assess whether he will need a transfusion from Sol.

Sol has been tested and the results so far are good. The final test is the cross match which is being done now.

Oh Candice, I'm so sorry to hear this news, I really hope the vet can get him stable enough to come home to you for those last few weeks and spend his final days with his doting Mum and siblings

Its never the news we want but hopefully the blood donor idea may give him the extra time

Thinking of you all at this time

Sorry I've not updated - its been a hell of a day

Fabes is slipping away.

He is critically aneamic and is currently on treatment to try and promote red blood cells. The vet is hopeful that she can get him to a stage so he can come home - I don't want him slipping away at the hospital.

If the treatment isn't successful then I've just taken Sol and hopefully he will be a blood match and can donate some of his blood to Fabes.

So I now only have Foofoo with me who definitely knows theres something wrong, she's not left my side since I got back.

If we can get Fabes over this hurdle then he will have approx 6 weeks - but a quality 6 weeks

Sorry - can't go on, too upset

Just had an update:

He has lost even more weight
He's anaemic
Has blood in his urine

So I won't be able to pick him up tomorrow

The vet has started the infusion, given him antibiotics, meds for stomach ulcers (just in case thats the source of blood) and given him meds to increase his red blood cells

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #5 on:** May 12, 2008, 19:35:20 PM »

oh no poor Fabes.

C'mon Fabes - get better.

candyshandy · « **Reply #1 on:** May 12, 2008, 18:23:26 PM »

I've just got back from dropping him off.

Since his kidney failure episode his calcium levels have increased so we are now on the last thing to try. He is having a 12 to 17 hour IV drip of saline and pamidronate. The hospital has only done this on one cat before and she/he was cured but studies have shown that it may also only last 11 days

I've had to sign a disclaimer as it isn't licenced for use on cats but humans and they have shown side effects of high toxicity in the kidneys. However, humans have it neat whereas my vet is giving Fabes normal fluids first then diluted solution then fluids after. Hopefully this won't stress out his kidneys as he's already in CRF

Positive thoughts please everyone
