Saturday's Update

The vet called this morning to give us the results of the blood work. Sandy's kidney levels are above normal but considering his condition we anticipated that. They are not high enough to say he is in kidney failure but high enough that we have to get water in him and get his kidney's going. So now we are putting water into a turkey baster and forcing him to drink. If we had the financial resources we could put him on IV's but that's just not an option for us....it's a few thousand bucks!
He did pass the mineral oil finally and does not seem in pain at this point. Since the mineral oil procedure puts him into distress we'll leave his belly alone and start getting the water down him. His liver levels were also above normal but it's, hopefully I can explain this and have it make sense, an enzyme the liver puts out that indicates muscle bruising. The vet is not sure why he would have bruising but again the levels are not dangerously high. So now our job is to water him every hour! Pray this works!
