Max

[gini]

In my book, both of you are equally important, whether it be your health issues or those of Max.

I am so glad that the blood work came back so positive. And to have Max curl up on the bed with you instead of the closet must have thrilled you to no end.

Yes, Max is a true elder gentleman, but he is also the cutest little doll with eyes that would melt the hardest of hearts.

I am so glad to hear that he is feeling better and moving around more.

Remember to "pile" up his food - just like he taught me

xxoo

Glad to hear things are not too serious, and that the stinky stuff is helping!

Beautiful Max, I am so pleased to hear that you are getting perkier. Please accept some squishy cuddles from me, sweet boy.

I've never heard of IVDD myself, and I don't have any experience with spondylosis, well apart from with my mother, but I'm sure you meant in cats. I'm glad Max is eating up his dinner with Metacalm on it. We recently had to give Daisy Metacalm when she hurt her leg, and she ate it without any problem too. It makes such a difference when you don't have to grab them and ram a pill down their throat.

Good luck with your dental, gorgeous!

This picture is of Max that Slick just posted for Randi's birthday. Now you can see what I mean about being such a little doll with those eyes that melt your heart. Gentle lovings on you Max! ooxx Auntie Gini

Oh- this is all good news.
My 5 cent about the CRF: you know Filou (who is 12) has CRF now - and it's not just the early stages- for 2,5 years and is doing well. Our vet who came to dinner two 2weeks ago says she thinks it will be years for him. So nothing should prevent sweet Max to reach the age of Samantha
Dental: Filou having CRF should not be anesthesized but in these 2,5 years he needed dentals two times because unfortunately he builds a lot of tartar and when his gums hurt he stops eating and with the CRF he cannot lose weight. So he got these dentals with as little and as weak an anesthesizer as Trude (the vet) could manage. He woke up in the first half hour after it and has always been fine. It's always a choice between difficlut options but I also think clean teeth is life quality for an elderly cat.
Give Max some kissies from me and take a hug

So glad to hear the medicine is doing it's job and Max is feeling better. Sending kisses & gentle hugs for the beautiful boy.

Slick,

It's so good to hear that Max's bloodwork is fine; as for the dental $300 is pretty fair especially if extractions are included (if necessary). Your Vet will likely do as Barbara suggests and use as light a dosage as possible - that's also what my Vet has done with Eve (and she's just a youngster). Eve woke up fairly soon after the procedure and spent her afternoon entertaining the entire Cat Hospital - it was a good day

Max,

I love the picture that Auntie Gini posted - you are so handsome And I am so happy that you are feeling a little better and snuggling with your mommy. Snuggles are good - always

Glad to hear your medicine is doing the trick, Max! I hope that each day finds you feeling more and more kitteny. (Well, as kitteny as a proud gentleman can be!

This morning Max is doing laps....around and around the apartment. He meowing at the weather, meowing at the water bowl, meowing at everything. I can't help but cry happy tears....

What a difference.........
