Mitzi went for her annual yesterday too. Actually I have been worried about her. She's not a big eater, but lately she's seemed to be even less of an eater, merely nibbling at her food and I was worried something was going on with my little Buddha kitty. I know she's overdue for her teeth cleaning and the vet confirmed this, which is probably why she's off her food. She's never had good teeth and now doesn't have too many left.
She hasn't lost any weight; in fact she's up to 9.9 from 9.5 six months ago. As long as she stays under 10 lbs. I'm happy. She's a very small, but very round cat. Her "plushness" makes her extra snuggly. Even the vet commented on what a snuggle bunny she is.
So she was sent home with antibiotics and we did some blood work in anticipation of her dental later in December when I have the $$ for this. She always behaves at the vet, I think because she's terrified!
She seemed perkier after we got home. Maybe it's just Seasonal Affect Disorder? I think kitties suffer from this too. She's been getting increasingly more snuggly as the weather grow a little bit colder - although it's sunny and 70's here today :cool:
