The diagnosis...

[awesomesprout]

So I just got home from the vet and the doctor said that Keroppi's kidneys seem adnormally shaped and about 2/3 their normal size to be healthy.

He took blood and gave me some Nutri-cal, which is a brown goop that has tons of calories in it that I'm supposed to give to Keroppi during the day, every day.

Keroppi has also lost 2 pounds in the last 6 or so months bringing him to a whopping 5 or so pounds.

The total so far:

170.00

And I have to call this afternoon for test results.

I feel sick. I'm going back to bed.

I heard the nurses when they were taking blood and they were like.. " oh my god.. he's so light... "

Appearantly he was a perfect kitty though when they took the blood and just sat still..

Maybe you mean pinole pet hospital.

Err... that's right. They look similar so I get them mixed up. It's one San Pablo. Right by Appian.

I appreciate that. But I'm just going to continue working with them since I'm already halfway through the process
