: I don't know, I am so confused and flustered right now. I feel in my heart that he may have to be put down today. I see him really starting to suffer, and I said when it got to this point that I would follow through to help him. He seems to be having trouble breathing now on top of everything else, too. He breathes by hissing and opening his mouth up wide. He has to lay with his head up and body flat...like an "L", body flat and head up against cage door. I don't know if these #'s mean anything to anyone, but the blood tests came back like this---and this is a wk ago, don't know what it's even at today, but kidneys, phospherus level normal is 8, his was at 20....liver normal is 80, his was at 346. We'll see if hubby agrees today on my decision and I'll let you guys know what happens later.
