Sicko

Poor Gustav! He's suffering from CRF (chronic renal failure), which might kill him if we don't treat him right. We went to the vets every afternoon by taxi last week, they gave him infusion and other treatment. Now it's weekend, I do it myself. The pic is not him, but that's what it looks like. Read more about it here.
Christel came this morning to help me with the first infusion, and since then I'm managing on my own. Hopefully it will help his kidneys to recover a bit. Life won't be easy for him from now on, but hopefully he will still be able to survive and purr a few more months or even years.
I'm afraid he's not eating enough, even though I handfeed him every hour when he's not sleeping. Cross your fingers he'll get better!
