So not really good news coming from the Vet yesterday.

No tooth pulling going on.  According to his blood test his levels (of just about everything) were super high, like 3 to 4 times the normal amounts.  They said this meant that his kidneys were not working well.

He doesn’t have Feline HIV or Feline Leukemia  Which is good news.  However we now have to give him subcutaneous fluids every other day, he has to be on a a canned food diet, and medicine with every meal.  My cats aren’t normally a set meal time, so that is something new, and giving him fluids from an IV drip type thing is bizarre.

The worst news was with an expected diagnosis chronic renal failure means at best he has an expected 1 – 2 years to live.  Might be more might be less.

Anyways we find out in two weeks when he goes back for more blood work.

On a side note, when he gets the subcutaneous fluids he has a funny like liquid hump on back for an hour or two.
