Miko's Health (updates and more)

It sounds a lot like the ups and downs we had with Merlin. Certainly when drugs were involved there were very difficult periods while things were adjusted and balanced, there were also periods where he wouldn't eat anything and my Auntie had a bigger range of pet food in her cupboard than the pet store!! At those times the situation did look dire. But then he would pick up again and have a really good period and it was like nothing had ever been wrong.

You know Miko better than anyone and are doing the best for him every day. He will know that and I'm certain that is the most important thing.:smile2:

:hugs to you both as always and hope tomorrow things look brighter.

Thanks for the hugs. I need it.

I hope things look up. It's heartbreaking to see him like this. But then, I never like to see my boys sick. I'm sure no parent likes to see their "child" sick. I guess in my gut, I feel like this is it. But am I just expecting the worst? I hope he at least recovers and feels better. I'd rather him go out feeling better, not sick. Granted, that's unrealistic, but still, I can hope, right?
 
All I can do is offer you support and some virtual hugs :hugs. Watching your dog decline and be sick is one of the hardest things to go through. :( Just know that we are all thinking of you.

Ugh! He's not eating. Let's hope that he's better tomorrow and will eat. Otherwise....well....y'know.

Poor baby, poor you. I'm praying with all my heart that he will get well and STAY well until the very end.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please watch over this family and help this wonderful dog, Miko, recover from the sickness that hovers over him. If it is your wish to call him to you far too soon, please be merciful and take him while he's free of pain, and welcome him into your arms like one of your children coming home. Father, I ask you to be with Cheryl, to guide her through these hard times and help her with any decision she has to make, no matter how difficult.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen

Cheryl, what ever happens, remember, there are no tears, pain, or sickness in heaven.:hugs
 
Thank you Tabitha.

You might want to ask the vet to do subcutaneous fluids. I think you said that Miko was in kidney failure. As you probably know, when kidneys show as failing on a blood test, it means that most of the kidney is no longer able to filter the blood. If I am remembering correctly, at least 80% is compromised. The toxins, that the kidneys can no longer filter, will back up through the blood into the brain. This will start by making the animal feel ill and not want to eat. Eventually it will lead to seizures and death. The fluids will help to flush but are only a stop gap method and depending on how much function is left, will only help for a short while. I have stood where you are standing now and my heart goes out to you.
