    BraveHeart news and new photos.

    This news deserves a brand new thread!!

    BraveHeart's kidney panel results were just given to me with the words "Don't give up yet!"

    His BUN (normal is 10-30) was 180 and 1 week later is 103

    His Creatine (normal is 0.3-2.1) was 8.2 and 1 week later is 5.3

    His Phosphorous (normal is 3.4-8.5) was 20 and 1 week later is 13.3

    So, even though these numbers are still quite high, they are moving in the right direction. And this was before he ate anything on his own.

    Today, I was dissapointed that he had not eaten over night (like last night) but he ate some this afternoon and some this evening. (keep in mind I still am forcing him to eat more than he will eat on his own.

    He still gets fluids once a day. And he gets a thyroid med twice a day.

    Now on to the picture show

    AHHHHHH, thank you


    I think I'll have a nibble.


    Can you tell how I trimmed his fur? It is not a perfect groom, but it helps us keep him clean.

    God bless you, Jen, for all that you are doing for him.

    AWWWWW....what a sweetie!

    Do you have his eyes so scrinched up with love for you that they can't be seen anymore?

    Great news on the levels...he just might be around for a few years of scritchies yet!

    I'm glad to see that his numbers are going down more towards the normal range. He sure is adorable. I hope to hear many more wonderful updates about him in the future.

    My son's health is improving and so is Braveheart's. Life is good. I needed some good news like this. Here's praying that his numbers go down and his strength and appetite go up. Good job, Jen!
    Blessings,
