Back To The Hospital

Little Bit went back for his creatinine test and his levels actually increased.  This isn't as bad as it sounds.  This is a sign his kidneys are reacting to the treatment.   He will spend the next two nights at the hospital and then be tested again.  His levels should drop as they give him intravenous solutions to help digest the proteins and activate the kidneys again.   Let's see what happens.  He wasn`t happy to be left there.

I have to say that this vet is very inexpensive and the hospital is a real hospital.  They have an operating room, x-ray room, and chemo and radiation areas.   The overnight stays with all the treatment included is $20 U.S. per night.   We've never spent much on this little guy other than vaccinations and check-ups.   This is like Custard's last stand.   Either he improves and we continue treatment, or we bring him home so we can all enjoy the last days.  (heartbreaking).  But, I'm prepared.  I'll save all that for the end.  

I'm off again for Ecuador on March 9th for two weeks.  This time it is Quito and Cuenca.   Cuenca, as I have blogged before, is a magical city that is now a World Heritage Site and home to many foreigners, mostly Europeans. 

Other than that, the nights here are cold, down to 0C and the days are warm.  Plans are coming to fruition as the days go by.  So much ahead to enjoy.  I am doing some more changes to the rv as well as looking for a new tow vehicle or a Class B.
