Day 2

Day 2 into his medication. 

As usual the morning routine for him was the nightmare. But since I'm working late today, I observed him after his medication. He fell right into a deep sleep. Probably that's the medicine that's making him feel lethargic. 

The very kan jiong me always worry this and that too much, so I googled to see if its normal for dogs to keep sleeping. And hahaha yes! They can sleep up to 12 hours a day considering it to be on and off. Okay, felt really relieved!

His pee was back to the normal yellow! Yayyy!! So far he does not have any negative effects towards the medicine! All is good!

And since he can't be doing his scaling, I bought Tropiclean's clean teeth gel for him. Hopefully it does all the work and help remove the plague/tartar on his teeth!!!

Will post pictures of his teeth soon! I wanna see if it really works! Wahahahahaha! If so, then Kiki don't need to go for his scaling anymore! :D

Day 1

Had a really hard time feeding this baby his medicine.

He wasn't very cooperative with me with his medicine and struggled quite a bit. Had to rush to work after feeding him his medicine and told my mom to keep a lookout for him if there's any effects.

Checked how many times he urinated with my mom when I got home and it was 4. I assumed that's normal for dogs to pee 4 times a day. His pee was still a little bit of a darker yellow as compared to the normal yellow kind of pee. Fed his medicine again in the night and this time round he was a little more cooperative. Phew!

Everything was fine and he's eating his prescribed medicine of L/P! Thank god for that!!

My dear kiki

Been 3 months since I've updated. 

Today was a really bad day. 

Kiki was supposed to go for his dental scaling today but as the clinic couldn't reach me yesterday and, Kiki didnt fast after 12mn and so, his dental scaling was not successful. Didn't want it to be a wasted trip down to the clinic, I still decided to go ahead with the consultation. So I was thinking that since we're already there, why not send Kiki for his blood test first so that next week he will be able to go straight into his scaling procedure. As you know, blood test usually took about an 30 minutes to an hour for results to show. Didn't wanted to stay at the clinic for long so I decided to bring Kiki home first. I waited for a few hours... At that point of time, I didn't have much of the mood to do anything. I kept telling myself that the blood test result should be perfectly fine since Kiki hasn't been feeling sick or whatsoever. 

His test results were out...

Dr Chua explained to me that Kiki's liver has some problem. Normal ALT for dogs should range between 10-118. But Kiki was at 165. Although the vet assured me that this problem is just a very very mild problem since his ALT isn't that high but it was safer to take precaution now. I heed the advise. And so his scaling appointment was postponed to another two weeks time. 

Hopefully after the full course of medication, his ALT will drop to an acceptable range and he can go ahead with the dental scaling. Then, I will watch his diet very very closely and feed him with liver/gallbladder supplement to keep the ALT at a healthy range. Sigh.. I don't know is it due to aging or was it his previous injury. There are many possibilities. Kiki did not have a very much needed care when he is a puppy till 1yo. It was till we bought him over that his fur started to grow and his weight increased. 

Or should I be blaming myself for not taking care of him well that's why his liver started to show signs.. 

But he seems to be perfectly fine.. 

Lets all hope for the better. 

He WILL be fine. His ALT WILL drop to an acceptable range. 

Please keep him in your prayer. Very much appreciate it. 

I'm not ready for anything to happen to him yet... Not any sooner..

I will update daily on Kiki's situation for the full 10 days of the course of his medication.
