Blind And Deaf Angel Gets Her Fluids

We started Angel on her sub-Q fluids this morning to help treat her chronic kidney disease, which our vet just diagnosed last week.  This beautiful blind and deaf girl came from Spokane County Animal Control a couple of years ago.  Recently she had been dropping weight and losing her appetite, and after a battery of tests, we found her kidneys were compromised.  We also found she has high blood pressure, so she's getting a daily dose of blood pressure medication called Norvasc.

The fluids really help ... they flush out the toxins in her kidneys, which makes her feel better, and in turn increases her appetite.

The other cat on the bed is blind Turtle, a new arrival who came from the Humane Society in Bozeman.

We certainly hope angel does well with her treatments... and welcome Turtle! That's a great photo of you Steve with Angel.
Big hugs to all!

I hope Angel continues to feel better and want to say hello to Turtle and all the other felines.
