It seemed to me that Luna has been sleeping more than usual lately, and when she wasn't eating much for the last two days, I decided yesterday to take her to the vet. I also got the impression that she has some discharge as I noticed little spots of a clear liquid on places where she sat.
There, we decided that it's time for her to undergo a full health check, which unfortunately can only be done under anaesthesia because Luna started fighting as soon as the vet was trying to take her temperature.
So Luna was sedated and they draw blood from her, took her temperature, made an x-ray shot, palpated her abdomen, looked into her mouth and her vagina and anal glands, and everything was fine. Her temperature was normal, her mouth and teeth looked great and clean, the x-ray shot didn't show any signs of masses, or blockage, just her liver was a bit "lifted" by too much fat in her belly.They said her spine looked like the one of a young animal, very strong and healthy (I envy her for that!
).
Now we have to wait for the results of the blood test. They tested the function of the kidney, liver, pancreas and thyroid gland, and will also do a blood count. Waiting for this makes me nervous. My vet has promised to call me in case the lab is sending the results today, but it's more likely that I have to wait till Monday. Hopefully everything will be alright!!
After the vet visit, the stress continued. Luna was under the weather from anaesthesia and vomited, while Lily didn't recognize "her" Luna because of the different scent. She's terrified and in panic, was hissing, growling and howling, and even attacked me.She has calmed down a bit today, but is still hissing at Luna when she's close. Poor kitties!
