Vet called me back with the results of Ambush’s blood panel. He is showing early stages of kidney problems and needs to start getting fluids like Stella. He only needs them once per week instead of twice per week.
He dropped three pounds since August. That is a lot of weight. 🙁
I may be asked to start doing blood glucose levels on him at home my pricking his ear. Will find out more on Saturday.
Stella is eating more and asking for food. She has been playing and seems to have recovered from whatever it was that had her down. She’s made a tremendous recovery.

BrieBrie has been coming around and is so friendly now. She hears my voice and comes out from under the bed and plays and talks. She’s adorable. She has discovered that the red laser fairy is her friend and she lurves it. Phaedra is a lot more reserved. She doesn’t come out for me and…
