Oh no...sending speedy healing vibes winging your way for dear, wee Sox!
(((((((((Huge hugs)))))))) and thinking of you and Mabel. Is she with him or at home? xxxxxxxxxx
 
Sorry to hear that ML1, i know Sox is in some form of kidney failure, in this heat, Ginger did NOT cope at all, she was having to drink so much to keep herself hydrated along with managing her already totally faulty kidneys herself, that she ended up not eating enough and her gut slowed right down.

Could be similar, i'd certainly ensure when they take his bloods that they test his kidney function too.

yes they are doing, to be on safe side with his kidney disease

I've just hovered my room, and he must of been in pain as there are 2 very small holes in my rug, where he must chewed at it, he tends to do that when he hurts, but never goes for the rugs/carpets
