Lois...stop for a second. Have you ever been sick...had a family member in the hospital? Then when they get home, they're all better? Wait to see how Cammie is tomorrow & then the next day....you never know, in a week you could very well have Queen Cammie Back!!!

Yes I know that I am not giving up I would choose anything over that...I am talking a serino here but if she can't pee or poo and is not eating or drinking as she wasn't before I took her I am concerned. If there are other suggestion from the vet I will opt for that..

I'm so sorry Cammie isn't well
You absolutely cannot give up for her sake though. If you don't try everything you can, you'll regret it later on, so keep soldiering on and do what you can for her.

Listen to the vets advice, and when you see Cammie she will sense what you're feeling, so try and be as upbeat as possible - even if you just tell her about your day or something equally as inane.

Aww, I`m so sorry you find yourself in this situation. I`ve always wondered where I would draw the line but until your in the situation you just don`t know and every case is different.
If you trust your vet I would be guided by them.
I hope you both feel better soon

I am praying for Cammie. I know how you feel, because I've been there. I wish I could come to your house and be with you, while you go thru this ordeal. I hope and pray Cammie starts showing some signs of improvemnt, and I hope she doesn't have to go through any more pain before she gets better.

It sounds as though it's very early days yet and you did the right thing by getting her in straight away. She's in good care at the vets, and please try and think positive. I am a true believer in thinking positive, it truly does help in the rough times.

They don't know anything yet, but are keeping her comfortable, so please take a few deep breaths, run yourself a bath, and try to relax for a half hour. Just focus on you for half an hour, or you'll end up sick and run down yourself!

Well I went and saw her and hugged her held her and snuggled her for about an hour
I took her a blankie and a mouse she rubbed all over me
She looks the same like nothing is wrong, It broke my heart when they came to take her back she has IV in her little leg. She is still not eating or drinking on her own or going potty. They have to force feed her and express her bladder, She said the reason she isn't peeing on her own is because it probably hurts her
Plus they are giving her stuff for the acid in her tummy,
Oh man it's hard to imagine hard to see her there. I didn't cry while I was there
I did talk to the Vet she brought the x rays in her kidneys are very large
And she showed me all the blood work, She put some vitamins in the IV. I will have to wait till they do the blood work tomorrow and HOPE & PRAY they have came down, I don't know what else she may suggest after that.
I know she's scared but she has been very good to work with. She has to eat & drink but she hasn't. I don't know what else to do if things don't look up some. I made it clear that I do not want to have to put her to sleep if theres something else so I have to wait.. I am so Heart Broken I can't even explain it at all

Hopefully by tomorrow the meds will do their work and Cammie won't hurt as much.
I am keeping you both in my thoughts.

I am sorry Cammie is having trouble peeing too..I hope she has a comfortable night, that her values are starting to improve. I agree with whoever (sorry don't recall) posted that the pain meds might also be decreasing her appetite, though with the numbers you posted, I think it's because she's feeling punky.

If you'd like the url for the support list I belong to, pm me, you could run everything (lab values, all the issues...crystals, crf) by them.
