Sunny and Cirrus go to the vet tomorrow

[Miss Meow]

What a stressful day. I hope everything went well and Cirrus and Storm were good at the vet's. Maybe AmberLee needs to bring some take-away food and catsip for dinner tonight to relax you all a little bit

[NoahsMommy]

Awwww, I bet you'll sleep good tonight...how was the vet appointment?

That Cirrus..what a funny guy....no one's gonna pill me! Sounds like a few kitties I know.

Vet Update: Everything went fine and both Cirrus and Sunny had to stay there until I picked them up around 6:15pm. They were still a bit sleepy when I first saw them but perked up very quickly. As soon as Sunny heard my voice he started crying. The vet tech said that this was the first time she'd heard him meow all day. She said he was also trying to hide his head while he was in the cage.

Well there's good news and maybe some bad news too. Cirrus's exam went very well and he's very healthy. He also got his last FVRCP booster so he's good for another year. He also had his nails trimmed. I found out that he weighs a little over 13lbs. I expected him to weigh more though because he looks so big. Now the protential bad news. The vet told me that some of the numbers from Sunny's blood test aren't within the normal range. His glucose level was high which can be due to stress and his platelet level was lower than it should be and there was one more which I forget now.

Sunny has another appointment in 2 weeks for another bloodtest to be done at another lab since this one was done at the vets office. The vet wants to make sure that it's more accurate and he's mainly concerned with his platlet count. He'll also get another thorough annual exam and his FVCRP shot. I sure hope that everything will be okay with him. I don't know what I'd do if they find something seriously wrong with him. I'm trying to think positive about this whole situation. Please say some prayers for Sunny. Thanks for your concern.

As far as his teeth cleaning, this went very well and he's eating and drinking already. He has to be on liquid antibiotics 2 times a day until its gone. I'm also supposed to keep him quiet tonight but it's hard when you have a very active cat.

Poor Sunny...
I will be sure to keep him in my prayers! Keep us updated after his next blood test...
Did they vet say what might be the cause of the glucose level and platelet level being too high and low? *HUGS*

The high glucose level can be caused by stress but he's not sure about the low platelet level. I sure hope it's not a form of cancer.

*hugs*
don't worry too much... I will be praying for you guys.... remember God is bigger than all this.. EVEN CANCER!

I really hope that Sunny is ok, and you will all be in my prayers

How scarey when blood tests do not come out normal. I sure hope it is not serious. I'll be praying that the next two weeks will go swiftly (because waiting is the hardest part).{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

Waiting is almost certainly the absolute hardest part. It is the not knowing. For me, once I know what I am dealing with I can tackle it. Deirdre just went through the high glucose and hers was definately from stress. Her glucose level at the vets was 279. Last night at home it was 58. So you can see there can be a huge difference and stress really does affect them. As for the platelet count we will all just keep our fingers toes and tails crossed and a positive attitude in our thoughts.

I'm glad the vet visit is over with and for the most part everything went well.

I know it's hard not to, but try not to worry too much about the platelet count. I really have no idea about these things, but maybe it is just stress too. And not just the stress of the vet visit, but the stress of Cirrus. You had mentioned that Sunny wasn't warming up to Cirrus real quick, so maybe that is having an affect. Like I say, I really have no idea if this could be the case, but I would try and think positively about the whole thing because you have to remember, kitties pick up on your stress very easily and that might only make the situation worse.

Please let us know how things go in two weeks, and in the meantime give them all (Storm too) hugs and smoochies from me for being such good kitties.

I hope everything is okay with Sunny and you will both be in my prayers.
