The continuing adventures of Hershey. She's 17 and suffering from kidney problems, which means she gets fluids under her skin (subcutaneous for you fancy folks out there) three times a week and has a restricted diet plus some drugs to protect the kidneys and hopefully help her gain some weight.
She's down to 3 pounds, but even at her peak fighting weight she was never more than about 4.5 (doesn't seem like much of a difference, but it's still a 33% drop).
The docs recently held her overnight for a steady IV flow of fluids and this shaved place (which is growing back embarrassingly slowly for her, especially when I point and laugh) is her souvenir.
She's holding her weight and being herself, so that's great.
