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.
