    She seems to be okay, we are exhausted from the subcu. This morning she only ate half her food and refused her pepcid but I think she was annoyed she had to go out in the rain. She is pretty lethargic but she has always been less active so it is really hard to say how she is doing.

    She has had a slight bit of blood in the stool which makes me think another organ might be starting to weaken, need to call the vet about that today. He said it was just a matter of time before something other than the kidneys might give out. Still we have gotten two weeks since we took her out of the hospital, what a blessing that has been. Thanks for checking Lisa.

    She wouldn't eat last night and had very little energy but I tried not to read too much into it because after 6-8 weeks I know I can't guess anymore. I also was too tired to worry so I let DH cuddle her and I laid on the couch with the spazz-monkey Heidi. This morning Maggie ate like a little pig.

    Some days I feel like throwing my hands up and saying "wheeee" because it is one heck of a roller coaster. I try to tell myself her days are limited to lessen my pain but DH will have none of it.

    Why can't I be Dr. Doolittle so I know if she is just tired or getting sick? I used to have a music box that played "talked to the animals", I wish mine would talk to me.

    Everytime I see you have posted on this thread, my heart sinks...............then I have to chuckle because little Maggie Bear is such a little fighter.

    Please give her a special cuddle from the Land of Tea and Crumpets.

    Hugs

    Thanks Clock. She does have a lot of fight in that little body. Tonight she ate her food like she hadn't been fed in days. DH just shook his head and laughed. He said he thought we were losing her last night and tonight you'd never know she was sick. It is stressful and amusing at the same time. The vet told us last Monday he expected a week but she is still kicking so I am beginning to wonder if she just didn't like hearing that either?

    I try not to get too optimistic and just enjoy this precious extra time, what a gift the subcu is affording us.
