Fister’s yearly vet visit...

[Randi]

... is booked for tomorrow at 11.20. I hope he won’t need his teeth cleaned! You know how I worry about the aneastesia. I've been trying to have a look inside his mouth, but he's not being very cooperative.

According to the "Birthdate" thread Wom posted a while ago, it should be one of Fister's lucky days tomorrow.

Marie-Claire (Dali’s mom) will come over and help get him there in her car, and give me some moral support.

The box is sitting in the living-room, I was hoping he would find it interesting to spend some time in there, but no! So unless he jumps in tomorrow morning, I guess I’ll just have to grab him and put him in.

Please send some good thoughts that Fister is healthy! I love him SO much!

These are his numbers for previous years - will update with the new ones after the vet visit.

Urea = Kidney
Alat = Liver
Glucose = Sugar

If some of you have forgotten who Fister is, here's a few recent pictures. In the second one, he tells me what he thinks about the whole thing.

I can see how is urea level is going up- all within the normal frame of course. So I hope all will be ok for your big boy.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Good luck tomorrow at the white coats dear Fister!! Don't worry boy, it will be over before you know it! Try to be a good boy, and then I am sure that your meowmie will serve you your favorite dish afterwards!!!

[katladyd]

Good luck, Fister! We all have our paws and fingers crossed that you are perfectly healthy. Love the tongue!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Fister, you are still a gorgeous fellow, even with your tongue sticking out!

My cats have the same feeling about visiting the white coats. We all send happy positive thoughts for you tomorrow.

[Cataholic]

Oh, Fister, lucky you! Good luck tomorrow.

Randi- I usually see a BUN and creatine (sic) reading...maybe overthere it is called something else??? It might be the alat??? Just mentioning it.

[phesina]

Best wishes are being sent to Fister and you, Randi, that all goes well with his vet visit and he is healthy as a horse!

[Randi]

Thank you for all your good wishes and fingers and paws crossed. Fister and I are going to bed to have a good cuddle very soon.

Cataholic, all I know is that Urea = Kidney levels, Alat = Liver, and Glucose = Sugar, as I'm sure you know. I've never seen BUN mentioned. And Creatine... what's that? Oh, all these different medical terms.

Lut, you can bet that he'll have some good snacks once we're safely back home.

Moff, don't you try to convince me that you're up that early! But thanks for the good thoughts.

[Sonia59]

Good luck for tomorrow! I hope everything will be fine with Fister. As my Peppito is getting older I also worry that something might be wrong, so I understand. Kisses to Fister

[catmandu]

I know that we all worry when Our Senior Kittyzens start to get close to that 20 year mark, as there are few Cats who are so long lived.
I worry about My Michael the Dream cat ^^ Juke Joint Joseph ^^ and My Purrfect Princess ^^ as well.
We are praying that all goes well for Our Beloved Owesome Orange Fister and that he recieves a clean bill of health

[lizbud]

Best of luck for your check up Fister. Be a good boy at the Vets, ok.

[kitten645]

**SMILE** for the White Coat, Fis --- things will turn out better!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I sure hope that everything will go well and that the vet will tell you he's a very healthy boy. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers & good thoughts that all is well with your golden boy.
