Logan to the whitecoats

Fantastic!

Another follow up today.

Zam was supposed to have her kidney values re-checked, but they couldn't get any blood from the 'granny veins' in her leg. They tried her neck, but she wasn't having any of that. Since her values were normal last time, we're just going to leave her be. The vet said she could tranqualize Zam, but that would be just unnecessary stress when she's overall healthy. The first time her kidney level was elevated, it wasn't that high, hence the second follow up where it was normal. It was likely she had a cold or something.

Logan lost some weight. He's now 10.5 lbs. Not sure if we're dealing with a thyroid, kidney, or other issue. He goes back in a month for another weight check. If he has lost more weight, then we're going to have his blood sent out to test his thyroid values first. His breathing and heart rate are normal.

We suspect a lot of it is just old age, but if it's the onset of something going on with his thyroid or kidneys, we want to catch it as soon as possible.

I hope Logan gets a clean bill of health. Weight loss can be puzzling. Mac has lost a couple of pounds in his old age (he's in his teens now), and the last time he was at the vets he was fine. If he loses any more weight I will get the money to take him to the vets somehow. Right now he is holding steady, even gaining a bit. He's the most playful and active of my cats so maybe he is okay. Anyway, I'm keeping Logan in my thoughts and prayers.

Wouldn't you think that they would have found out about kidney problems already- that is so easy to diagnose. 10.5 lb is really a very thin kitty- I hope you find out what' s going on.
All the best for your little boy.

Logan's back to refusing food these past couple of days.

His appointment for a weight check is this Friday, but I'm going to call the vet tomorrow morning and see if they can get him in Monday evening.

Poor Logan and poor you! In spite of his health past, hopefully this time it is something simple.

HUGS to you and Logan.

Best wishes tomorrow at the vet that is nothing serious.

Logan ate a little bit of canned tuna & juice tonight.

A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

Thanks for the good vibes.

The vet can see him today at 3:15. Fingers crossed!
