Hooray! I'm thrilled to hear that Gary is doing so well. Prayers and
good thoughts coming that she keeps this up. It's also great that you
have a diagnosis about Melange and a plan to help his UTI!

Gary is actually looking almost completely back to
normal. Her nose is not getting much paler. We have
tapered down her appetite stimulants to almost nothing
because they make her so tired. She is still eating a
lot (babyfood only with lots of vitamins) and looks
more alert now. She is following my boyfriend around
like normal and made meow faces for her dinner (she
rarely vocalizes).
The vet wants to continue everything she's gettinng
now and then do a followup blood panel in 3 weeks. My
boyfriend forgot to ask if she thinks we should get
another couple dex shots in the meantime (she's on
oral pred) so he's leaving the vet a message about
that.
Melange, after clowning around and amusing the staff
yesterday, ruined his urine sample so he had to go
back today. The diagnosis is UTI with struyvite
crystals. He's going on Hill's s/d for a couple weeks
and Clavamox for a couple weeks. They don't think
there are stones (they did a quick ultrasound
yesterday because she wasn't able to feel the bladder
- he's kind of fat and round). So this was really
good news. In fact, good news all around!
