tiryaroofshadowWent to pick up my cat this evening at the animal hospital down the road. He's been losing a lot of weight suddenly and I got worried as I could feel every vertebrae on his spine and all of his ribs. So I went to the vet with him on friday for a check-up. Seeing as he couldn't find anything, he wanted to draw some blood for testing, but he also wanted to clean my cat's teeth. So he advised me to bring my cat in on monday-evening to have both the blood test and the dental care done at the same time.
They have tested him on both feline leukemia and feline infectious peritonitis (fip), which both tested positive. I think that means it's good, if I am not mistaken.
They also did an overall (blood-)test as well, but those results will only be in tomorrow, so I will need to call them, tomorrow evening.
Also it seems he's having problems with his stomach, and that might be another cause of why he's so frighteningly thin. So, now I need to give him medication. 2 tablets a day before feeding him. The vet suggested putting it in his food, but since I have two cats, and they don't usually finish their plates and eat from each other plates, that is not an option. Though I might try with a little bit of tuna-salad. I used to be able to just open his mouth, drop the pill in it and he would just swallow. Not anymore.
