| I guess Rayban heard he has made improvement too. He decided he didn't need his catheter anymore and pulled it out. Vet had to come back and put another in this morning. Haha! |

| Since he didn't have his catheter, I turned him loose to free graze this morning. He stayed out for a hour and a half eating. Also had 2# of adm senior glo. And is drinking good.
He is definitely better neurologically.
He took off prancing when I turned him loose :)
Did 21L fluid tues, 17 wed, 12 thurs. today will probably do 8-10. |

| He is doing so well!!
He looks better and is just perkier.
Decreasing his fluids has not become an issue at all so Far!

Fantastic news! I bet his calcium will normalize over time.
Again....stay away from NSAIDS like bute and banamine. |

| It's been a couple weeks since I've posted an update on Rayban!
He is doing well, he gets out a couple hours a day to graze. He is on free choice grass hay. We've recently tried some Timothy pellets & orchard grass chops. He's not thin, but he isn't "blossomed" looking. Still has a slight belly.
He seems to have some days he feels better than others, but always has a big appetite and seems to be drinking well.
During the day he goes in the dry lot with his "buddies."
Bob & Jeff from total health enhancement mixed him up a special blend, based off his blood work.
He's getting that plus Forco and CocoaSoya Oil.
He goes back Wednesday for a check up! |

Location: Kentucky | The neurological symptoms could be from the uremia. Patients that are not coming to dialysis or staying on their treatments can become this way. I have also seen it in new patients with acute kidney failure that suddenly had neurological changes. When their BUN and Creatinine lowers their symptoms fade. Fingers crossed that this becomes a thing of the past. |

| unfortunately, I hate to report, Rayban was laid peacefully to rest this morning.
I appreciate all the feedback through his journey.
I really thought we had made it, but God had another plan.
