Thanks for your ideas.I will ask my vet about Thyroid also. I don’t know how important an urinalysis is, because he had the BIG operation and can’t block up anymore. However, my vet said that he can still form crystals, so I will ask about that too.
Fister has eaten eiher Hills S/D, S/D mixed with W/D, or C/D - with the occasional treat and very small amounts of wet food a few times a week. When I feed him wet food, I sprinkle a tiny spoonful (comes in the jar) of Plague Off on it. I believe it’s working. Fister is not a cat who over eats, so he has access to his dry food all the time. However, in the last month, his dry food did come up one time, it seemed that it was not chewed at all, so he probably just ate too fast. I have also seen him kind of “burp/hiccup” a few times recently.
When it comes to clipping his nails, I have full control now- although sometimes he’ll only let me clip one or two at a time - but I can wait until the next day.
Phred, yes I suppose his heart and lungs are checked every time, but in any case I will ask. His ears are looking pretty good and he has no lumps, bumbs or sore spots. Poo sample, yes that would be straight forward.... and pee sample, that could be a challenge!I will ask the vet whether he wants one.
Logan, I’m glad to hear Butter’s bloodwork looked so good. I’m sure you’ll have him for quite some time yet.
Slick, I didn’t know about the reduced protein, but I’m sure the right food can prevent lots of things, so I will definately have a chat about that!
