Maggie,
The way you talk about him and seeing the way you care about him, I am sure that Big Bubba is a very good cat. I know it is very hard for you, we are with you and Big Bubba! I pray for both of you and you are in my thoughts.
I hope your hands feel better!
Please, keep us updated.

I am so sorry to hear about Big Bubba. I hope you are both fighting through this. It is so ard to watch a member of the family that you love so much be ill and not be able to make it all better yourself. Our thoughts are with you and remember to keep up your health too.
-Bon

Hello Maggie,
How is Big Bubba today?

 

[Maggie Cummings]

He's somewhat better. The Vet called yesterday to tell me that the kidney enzymes are down by half and that's a really good thing. I have cut back on the fluids to twice a day. His weight is holding at 19 pounds. He ate on his own yesterday but not today...Thanks for asking about him, this whole thing is just really hard to go thru.
I forgot to say he pooped! Yea, and that's a good thing too!!!

Hi Maggie, Keep your spirits up, they certainly feel when you are down and that's not what they need. These wonderful creatures live for today and don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow. You stay positive. My old Butchie cat was 17 and we did get him through the initial kidney failure. We did the fluiids at home, although it was twice weekly, not daily and we had a wonderful blow up bag that helped push the fluids faster. Seemed like distraction rather that restraint worked better too.. I would have my husband rub his ears and that was all my boy needed to keep still.
I will think Happy thoughts for your Bubba. It's so hard,, we know.
Na
