KIRBY UPDATE:
Quick message from our MSU vet student. Kirby's kidney scores were 2.9 which is a consistent value for the past 3 days so the assumption is that it has plateaued at this point. This has been with constant IV hydration but is an improvement from the 5+ when we took him last Thursday. They have flushed a lot of toxins out of this little 27 pound doggie. He is taking his meds orally and Jennifer says she gave him a different canned kidney diet food today with more gravy that he seems to like even better than the previous one. Well, YEAH! Who wouldn't? LOL He does think he has happened into the land of "people food" and that's why he gobbles it up and they have to hand feed him. HA I know him, he thinks any minute they are going to discover that he's got their food and he'll have to give it back! At least one trade off for all that he's had to give up. We will head down today about 2:00 to take him walking in the large air conditioned building and hopefully two humans can keep the one little dog from pulling the urinary catheter out. No promises, though.
