Well, this is an incomplete report- since I won't have his labs back until tomorrow...but, the GREAT news is Tex gained 4 oz in a month!!!!! Yippee!!! Tex now tips the scales at 8.8 lbs. I would LOVE for him to weigh 9.5 pounds...so, we are moving in the right direction. Tex hasn't put on weight in YEARS. It has always been a drop. So, I am thrilled about this. I talked briefly with the white coat about the T131 procedure. He wasn't very familiar with it, and didn't have any patients that had underwent it. He did tell me that Ohio State U has it, so, I will contact them.
As for Georgia, she tipped the scales at 10.6! She went to be tested for the Felk, since the herd was exposed to it with the kitty Arizona (RB) that I fostered briefly (). I had them both tested, and will know tomorrow the results. Since the herd has all been vaccinated against it, and the exposure was minimal, I feel the overall risk is low. But, with Tex's condition, I felt it was best to test. I don't think I would test the remaining ones if these two come back neg.
Georgia and Tex both behaved like champs at the vets. Apparently, Georgie felt she 'deserved' a treat or something, cause as soon as we came home, she ranned out of the porta prison, up the steps, into the kitchen, and up on to the counter where Tex's 'special' food is kept, and picked up a bulldozer mouthful, and started chompin!![]()
