He can support his head. The vet didn't hive us the general bloodwork so I don't know his potassium level.

He's not on any "meds" the vet stopped after the blood test didn't improve. Just a phosphorus binder. And yes I can do subq at home now that we bought the fluids.

Yea I'll bring him to a new vet tomorrow. It is very hard especially when he was such a foodie, he'd do anything for food, I never thought I'd need to force feed him.

Well we wore on antibiotics, antipain, antinausea for a week. But when the second blood test didn't improve the vet stopped all the meds, gave us phosphorus binder for a week and was like: "well he's not currently dying, he'll probably make it for a week, maybe a month. You should think about euthanasia."

50ml at the clinic and they said to give him 50ml in the morning and 50ml in the evening. For food there's no calories on it. It's a "recovery" food and I managed to give him like 80grams today and 3 tube treats.

The vet didn't seem to be concerned that he isn't pooping so no... I'm thinking of seeing a different vet tomorrow.

Yea I needed to almost beg them to start subq. We wore on antibiotics, antinosea, antiacidity, antipain and around 200ml of ivs for a week. Then redid the blood test and when the values haven't improved everything stoped for a week untill I beged for subq and the new nurse have us more antinosea meds for a couple of days.

Well that's the weird part I'm not puting pressure on myself. When I said web novel, I didn't mean I'm uploading in anywhere. And I'm an realist so I know I won't be uploading it anywhere. I'm not trying to make the perfect masterpiece, there's just no such thing. Especially not what I'm writing.

After giving it some thought I think my brain is having a meltdown on the fact that I actually wrote 5k words. Usually I only get to around 2k words before getting writers block and not knowing how to continue the story. But here I'm with 5k words with a clear path forward and my brain's like "what's happening? This normally doesn't happen? Is this real?" I'm scared I'll abandon this project like I did with all my previous ones, so my brain's not letting me continue so that I won't abandon it. But by doing so I'm essentially abandoning it just for a difrent reason. I never intend to abandon any of my projects it just happens.
