• Sick Buzzie

  we came back from a long trip...to find a even more skinny buzz... he wasn't eating much of anything and he literally looks like skin and bones...he looked WAY worse... my parents are in korea so we decided to take him to the vet...only thing is i didn't know what vet my dad took him too... the only one i remember taking him to was the one when he was a kitten and a few years old... i called them and apparently they hadn't seen him since '99!!!  but i know my dad took him somewhere b/c he talked about how much buzz hated the vet... anyway... i went there along with my aunt who came with me for moral support... we found out he weighed only 5 lbs 12 oz!!! he used to weigh at least 13-14 lbs!  he took some of his blood to see what might be wrong... so we waited...

  today the vet called me to tell me the results and our options...buzz has chronic renal failure... his kidneys are not doing so well... so he suggested diaresis to give him fluids...or the other option to put him to sleep... i'm hoping we can try the diaresis and see how things go...but i'm waiting for a call so that we can go ahead with his treatment

  right now i'm enjoying his company curled up with me purring....
