My best little buddy for 15 years is not doing good. Took him to the vet for his yearly checkup and he lost 1/3 his weight from a year ago. Dr. was concerned and wanted to take blood tests. The tests came back with high toxins in his blood which means his kidneys are not working and are failing. I knew he had arthritis in his hips and was careful when he sat down but did not expect The Dr. stated that he might have several weeks to a month or so. I have an option to use a dialysis machine which could prolong his life up to a year. The visits for the dialysis machine could be 3 to 5 times a week and cost around $385.00 a week for the treatments. I can't see myself hooking him up to all these machines to prolong his life for myself. I want too but just don't think it's right.
Charlie has driven at least 25 times between NY & FL in 3 Corvettes 89, 94 and my 99. His cat fur I am sure still lurks around in the 89 and 94 somewhere.
He also has flown so many times that he has is own frequent flyer miles. Lots o good time with my best friend and I am just gonna love him as long as I can. Today when I herd the news I picked up a Arbys roast beef sandwich and toped it off with whip cream. He loves that!!!
Well, I wanted to let you all know how I feel because I consider this forum as part of my family and have posted Charlies pictures many times here.
If you all have a pet give em a extra hug to let them know you love them because they really enjoy that.
If anyone has had similar happenings or any ideas to prolong things naturally I would appreciate any info that is given.
Here is a picture I just took of him.
