Getting ready to say goodbye to Lou

[Hillary anne]

Have you guys heard of bug-de-lite? I almost want to jump the gun and get him some liquid calcium. I emailed the vet with his opinion on that and the gout ease treatment they sell. His uric acid levels were at 7.6( or so just made an glimpse), but I am unsure what that level means

Here's hoping that Lou continues to get better.

 

[Ramrod]

Best wishes to the both of you and sounds like you are doing everything possible for him. Hope he makes a turn around.

He is deficient in it, think it would absorb better via oral injection opposed to dusting his feeders

 

[kinyonga]

I remember you saying he was deficient before now...sometimes my brain has a blip! Liquid calcium will absorb faster.

Taking him in today. Treatment hasn’t done much and he’s suffering, can’t keep balance and it’s time

Thank you all for your support, your advice and holding a space for us. That was the hardest thing I’ve been through and I’ve been through a lot. Have been second guessing myself like crazy but I think I did the right thing. The vet took some samples from his elbow and I should hear something (I hope). I took him home to bury and looked myself. It was oozing yellow pus and white strange strain looking stuff was deep within his elbow, I am unsure if that was from where his doctor pulled or if that was formation. I am hoping to get confirmation on his findings but am trying to be patient. The receptionist told me after cutting him open I made the right choice so I am sitting with that. I plan on writing a blog with everything that’s been happening these last 4 months, pictures and what I feel I did wrong since he was a wee one to adulthood. Maybe sharing his early symptoms up to o this month will help someone else too.
