The Heartbreak of kidney failure

The Heartbreak of kidney failure

Kidney failure may start without warning too, as we discovered on the night of January 9, 2007.From 5: 00 a.m.on the 10th, I knew that was something terribly wrong with our 11 year old blue point Siamese, mini.This visiting litter box on every 10 minutes.I have some water to it impatiently drank up, but even back in the litter.I woke up my husband and told him he should call your VET and get in to see someone as quickly as possible.Normally only something that happens so quickly 6 lbs, so getting dehydrated.

I went to hope for the best.was perhaps simply a urinary infection.Then, they could only give some antibiotics and fluids, and this could come home at the end of the day.This was the favorite of my husband and cat at the top all off, it was his birthday.

The heart can our drama unfolds and caught by the decision to do what we could or should character get along.After a day of veterinarians and the prognosis was not good, we asked what was the best we can do that.Our VET has the best chance to get out of this was to go to the emergency care all night, so he could supervise hourly said.This mini can be given fluids and drugs as necessary.Due to the easy going nature of mini-, is used to go to cat shows and loved people, so that the stress of the environment would not be an issue.I have other cats you would not do well in this environment for a long time.So, we all care in Helena at night and my husband will pick up this morning and the breadth of our VET for the day.This does not eat any of it, so we picked up some baby foods and eat with pickups in the morning and evening.The last time we have seen live was on the evening of the 12th.We were really promising, as we had a fair amount of time with her emergency waiting room patients to control during and transport.We had food and let on why she walked back and forth between us so that we could pet.Mini purred and purred at night for us, perhaps only allowing us know everything will be alright.This was a good last memory for us.He died the next day, he went into cardiac arrest, gave the CPR and drugs and still unable to keep alive.

Will do this again? The answer to this is, perhaps.Number one, this will depend on the temperament of the CAT.Now I have 2 cats, a well would be okay for one day, perhaps in the next day, but the other I will totally terrified and certainly no recoverability will be affected.

As for what I know now, I think you should have received a mini home to 12th and will let us die my arms.

This is what I learned. Must have liquid and eventually need to start eating, but these two things under their internal temperature, which causes stress on the kidney.Can administer fluids and drugs, but at some point either improves or not make it.Back to all doctor's comments on the documents received from 4 days, there were some interesting facts.Today, if they were ever to face such a crisis again, will pay very close attention to the numbers.

In time our VET arrived in mini, this must now be weighed 4 lbs.8 oz.Not sure what was the vitals, but the State of emergency, the numbers recorded on the 10th as follows: temp.98.7, pulse, respiration rate of 190, weight of 4.75 lbs (36)

On the evening of the 11th: temp.98.4, pulse, respiration rate of 232 32, weight 4 lbs 10 oz.The weight was probably until that night, as we had transported the baby food and was eaten for me.

On the evening of the 12th: temp.97.6, pulse, respiration rate 28 200, weight 4.5 lb.

With the above knowledge and knowing what the outcome was, but should never be a next time, follow the numbers.Was a lot of things about medical records that do not understand, but the vitals pretty much tell the story.
