Fister’s yearly vet visit...

[Randi]

Thank you for your good thoughts!

We're back from the vet. Fister was such a good boy and I'm glad to tell you his levels are within normal. In fact, the vet was amazed his numbers are so good, since he is almost 14 years old.

Fister was also weighed and had his teeth, eyes, ears and heart checked. He has even put on a little bit of weight since last year! Now 6,9 kg. His teeth are looking fairly good, the vet scraped off a little tartar on one, but he didn’t need a full cleaning.

Getting him there and back was a bit of a hassle though, all the streets in the area are one way streets or have been closed off for cars, so I had to walk the last bit with him - he is heavy in that box!

Fister has had some of his favourite treats and is now taking a nap in his bed.

I will update his numbers up in the first post, so you can compare.

Randi, that's great news for you and Fister! I know how these vet visits can make you nervous, and I'm glad to hear that Fister's in good shape!

Great news! And Fister was a very good boy, but we could not expect less from such a good cat Give him a big kiss OK?

Fister is such a good boy, always. It is very easy to see why you love him. Congratulations on a great vet visit!

This looks like a VERY healthy kitty to me
Excellent!

And BTW, the creatinine level is something you begin to check once the urea level is out of order as it is also a kidney indicator. But if urea is ok- and it is in Fister - it doesn't make sense to check it

Great job Fister! We knew you could do it!!!

This is wonderful news!!! I hope he'll continue to be happy and healthy for many more years to come.

Kisses delivered - thanks!

I forgot to ask the vet about BUN and creatinine, so thanks for the info, Barbara. I did ask whether he should have the thyroid checked (T4 I think), but he said that since Fister didn't have a sudden weight loss, it was not neccesary.

Well done Fister! Now was there really any need to be rude and poke your tongue out at the camera!
