Every half hour check Ip – he change position, still worry why he is so weak. I think tmr morning I bring the metro to clinic n don’t give, safer in case any cork up in the 5ml?

313pm: “Tube placement done, recovering from the sedation now.”
507pm: “She said that he’s drooling a little. So better to let him rest here for now.” – going to fetch him at 7pm

Back to 猫房 hospital,
755pm:
1019pm: tube feed 12ml ad, fed probiotics to provide his guts cos on so many ab
Fed doxy and pet tinic
He pee quite a bit – v yellow – lay flat sleep
Given cefazolin direct into iv port – his loud purring breathing sound is scary
Metro jabs initially got issue – molecule too big or? I don’t have such issue last time – so a bit unknown
1115pm: tube feed 12ml ad, RR 34 – sayang him told him to sleep le
Total today: 48ml ad
17 Mar 2021
722am: worry about mosses awake check Ip first can’t see him at all – not at sofa chair anymore
8am: survive the night, I serve tuna w chicken ham n RC Renal pouch – he did lick, lick only is already a good sign compare to yesterday totally uninterested
He was sleeping in the tunnel
11am: syringe fed him 30ml diluted ad, most come out cos his mouth is pain. Should I stop his meloxicam too since not working? N switch back to depredil? Today will stop see how. Up pain killer.
1120am: Saw the paw injured (right front) ThAt the vet say yesterday – wa they didn’t even help him clean away the unicharm stick to his paw, I clean up today n saw one paw skin totally no more, wipe with f10
530pm: didn’t look worsen, didn’t look better yet, tmr will go ahead w review n see how – think maybe need dr ym to do a scan on him n see how
1030pm: his same paw got one more unicharm stick to it, I pour f10 to wet it and remove and clean it
He look damn bad. Really look … but yet when I syringe him ad n some drop to the bed, he got lick – I still see hope – pls let him see dr ym tmr
Syringe fed 30ml ad – his mouth in damn pain
I sayang n hold his head in my palm, he didn’t kill me n I’m scare. he did look at me I also scare. I hope he understand I’m preparing him for tmr battle, not …
1110pm: carry him to baby cot to sleep, sleeping pose really scary, neck hanging …. arghhhh
1136pm: ah boy walk over to check mosses make me so scare
16 Mar 2021
Afternoon: continue Subcut, syringe fed him 30ml ad, did swallow but paw some out cos mouth in pain. meloxicam not helping? Change back to depredil any use? Thurs see what dr ym says
9+pm: just find him too weak
Fed him 30ml diluted ad
He went to sit in litterbin, the way he lie down just look damn scary – – rush him to dr Chang for bloodworks
V anemic
3.35kg – drop 570g
Dr Chang commented he is weak
Blood drawn – diluted, didn’t paw got blood from his pawing of mouth
The vet ask me one sentence: “what’s my plan for him” – hard qn, I told him I know if jaundice need iv, but anemic can’t iv. – but hs can do for me I can go Low rate iv. See first
Actually want to see his kidney, then how anemic is he now – at least let me do something today n tmr n thurs see dr ym say what
1006pm; While waiting for bloodworks, omg he meow v softly in the carrier I scare
Rbc 2.37, HCT 12% – Dr Chang ask me whether I will do transfusion she said a sentence “most bt also die” – good she is in line w my thinking
Told her I intend to give darbepoetin- she will give me the dose (she initially say 50mg per cat, irregardless of weight, but I told her I normally give accordingly to weight, my calculation is give 0.075ml for mosses, she mention asking whether I want to give high dose for the first dose, 0.08ml) subsequent dose 1/4 dose 0.02ml
Have to give pet tinic (she mention iron but i can’t be touching mosses mouth w wanse)
Retic 2.4, non generative – might be fiv end stage le
Wbc 18.76, neu 10.62, think ab also no use – unless need to take urine culture n sensitivity to see what ab he resistent to – but last test he back negative bacteria – waste money only
EOS 0.09 – somehow I know all point to end stage thingy
