    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

    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!

    crying happy tears.....

    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.........
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
