Update on Luna

March 16, 2020 While Luna is more playful and acting more like her old self, she isn’t gaining any more weight. Her kidney numbers are still not good. Her test at the beginning of March showed only a 2 point drop. The normal values are around 32 to 36, and her’s are 62. They had […]

Kibble for Luna

February 27, 2020 Bruce took Luna to the vet on Monday for her fluid injection, and he picked up renal failure kibble for her. Last week, Luna just refused to eat the canned dog food anymore. I tried picking some up in my fingers and offering it to her. I hoped she might think it […]

Luna in Her Jacket

February 21, 2020 It was cold enough (18 degrees F) this morning that I put Luna’s jacket on her before taking her out. After we came in, I took some pictures of Luna and Nox. Just thought I’d share.

Luna Won’t Eat Her Prescription Dog Food

February 20, 2020 (2/20/2020) Saturday was the last day that Luna ate her prescription dog food. I don’t know what is going on in her little head. Sunday morning, I tried to feed her the prescription canned dog food and she acted like I had offended her. I just don’t get it. She was gobbling […]

Luna’s New Fashion Statement

February 14, 2020 The first time we went out to buy Luna a sweater, Bruce said, “I can’t believe we have become the people that put clothes on their dog.” Nox has enough fur to keep warm, but Luna, my little sun loving dog, doesn’t have a lot of fur, and she gets cold. She […]

Back from the Vet and Hiding Out

February 4, 2020 Yesterday, Bruce took Luna and Nox back to the vet. Nox went to get her teeth cleaned. Luna went to get a sonogram of her kidneys and to have the fluid injection without us there. The vet thought that Luna’s crying may have been because we were there, and Luna wanted us […]

Luna Is Gaining Weight!

January 31, 2020 On her new diet, Luna is starting to gain weight. Bruce and I weighted her last night, and she was up to 5 pounds and 3 ounces! That is a significant gain from 4 pounds and 6 ounces she had gotten down to! We still have a ways to go to get […]

The Vet Called with Luna’s Test Results

As feared, it is kidney disease. We will be giving her Enalapril once a day, as well as the prescribed dog food to help manage her renal failure. The vet also prescribed some medication for her to take before her subcutaneous fluid injection to help her relax. Hopefully, with the medication, the fluid injection won’t […]

Back from the Vet (Again)

January 27, 2020 We took Luna to her appointment to the vet today. The vet does not believe it is a kidney infection, but believes it is kidney disease. Luna was fine with them taking her blood pressure. She snuggled up against me and let them wrap the band around her leg. Then the vet […]

Surprise Call from Vet Today

January 26, 2020 We got a surprise call from the vet this morning. The vet wanted us to know the blood work came back early. Since she knew we were worried about Luna, she wanted to let us know right away what it showed. The news for Luna is not good. She is having kidney […]
