Well I now know that I have two things to deal with. I have nephritis and hypothyroidism.
This means I have pills to take for the rest of my life - one is to help my thyroid and one is a heart pill that also helps preserve the kidneys. I am a good boy about taking them because I know that I get a little piece of cheese afterwards, BOL.
What's not so good is the yucky new diet. Because of my renal failure I can't eat protein any more, so it's K/D for me. However.... I hate it! I won't eat the dry or the wet, and mum is trying all sorts of bribes to get me to eat, but I refuse. She says she's going to do some reserach to see if she can find a tasty alternative.
I haven't been very well... it seems as though ever since Tyler went to the Bridge, things have been on a slide.
I went to my new vet (who I liked very much!) and he took blood and pee pee and had a good look at me. He couldn't feel my organs because I was very tense. Maybe I am in pain.
Mum just got my results and they're not great. I have lots of protein in my pee pee and have been diagnosed with nephritis. I have to have some special new food to try and prevent or postpone kidney failure.
But besides that, I have very low thyroid values and the vet thinks this might be a sign of something else, so I have to have a thyroid test and an x-ray to see if there is something on the inside causing all of these things... I will have my x-ray on Saturday.
In the meantime, I am still going for walks and still keeping an eye on the cats. That's my job. And of course I'm being a good boy for my mummy!
Love,
The Poohmeister

It's been a looooong time since I wrote in my diary, pups. But this is important... You see my big cat brother Tyler is now fighting cancer.
I am there for you buddy! You have always been a friend to me from the very beginning - even when I first came in the house and gave you fleas, you didn't seem to mind. You were always a cool kitty and let me hang with you.
Now I woof for you every moment I get. If any cat can fight this nasty disease and prove the doctors wrong, you can. They have given you 6 - 8 months, but I say you have no sell-by date!
When you choose to walk around the garden, I will chaperone you. When you decide to lay in the sun, I will watch over you. When you want to be left alone, I will respect your wishes. But always know, dear friend, I am looking out for you and have your back. I may only be a little dog, but my love for you is as big as the Universe.
