Just saw this, so sorry to hear of all that has been happening. I'm sure Elaine has given you excellent advice and I'm keeping everything crossed for Charlie xx |

Hi there everyone and WOW what a lot of lovely replies, thank you so very much. Well this morning Charlie ate a quarter of a sachet of the renal food, which was great, the most he's eaten since Friday. He also had a good drink and I woke up and he had huddled himself into my arms in bed!! I spoke with the vet and she told me that an IV drip wasn't necessary as he is drinking and eating and not dehydrated, he is also weeing and pooping so *at the moment* things are functioning ok. I have little tubs of water dotted all round the house, including upstairs and next to his bed, so he has it very readily. Got home from work (I only work 3 hours a day which is wonderful as I can be around for Charlie a lot) and he came downstairs to greet me *BIG GRIN*!! He miowed for food so i gave him some which he gobbled up and then sat licking his paws contentedly.... I must admit that I am feeling far more positive than yesterday now as he does seem perkier and more comfortable (I guess the antibiotics are working too). He is still sleeping a lot, which is to be expected, but it is wonderful that he is moving about more. He is asking to go outside quite a lot, I can't decide whether or not that's a good idea... on the one hand he is a very poorly boy and needs to be well looked after but on the other hand I wonder if a bit of fresh air might be good for him? Sorry for not writing on here sooner today but Charlie has been asleep on my lap for ages and I didn't have the heart to move him, must get some lunch now! |

Oh I meant to add that I know that Charlie isn't going to be 'cured', I know he is now a very poorly and special little boy. But it is soooo good to see a little glimmer of his sunshiney spark back, he is lolloping all over the keyboard at we speak trying to get my attention lol |
