Fernando, now known as Furdie, has joined our family since mid-February. I should have introduced him earlier, but he has been keeping us very busy.
We already knew that he was FIV+, but within a day of picking him up we noticed that he was drinking and weeing much more than was normal, so we had a vet appointment booked the next day when blood tests were carried out, and unfortunately we were told that he is suffering from kidney failure to such a degree that he has no kidney function at all, and was not expected to last a month
We made an appointment with the head of our vet practice, to see if there was anything else that we could do for Furdie, and he was quite helpful.
So far Furdie has been with us 8 weeks, and is as bright as a button, full of energy and a right little home wrecker. We still have a few other problems with him that we haven't solved yet i.e. once upon a time we used to have curtains that hadn't been torn down, and vertical surfaces that hadn't been sprayed up. Hopefully we will still have time to resolve these.
If anyone has any spare Purrs stay-with-us vibes, then they would be really appreciated now
I'm sure that no-one would be interested
, but just in case anyone is here is a pic or two of my new baby:
