Hey everybody,
Xander had his vet visit today. Physical exam didn't show anything obvious. She double-checked his teeth and said that they probably haven't progressed since the last vet looked at them, definitely didn't need treatment right away and weren't the problem. We did a blood panel (added to the labs tab on the spreadsheet) and she said that the results are basically normal, but we sent out for Spec fPLO, urine and fecal panels. She originally planned on doing x-rays but she didn't think it was likely to be necessary and is leaning more toward the pancreatitis we suspected, or possibly (although unlikely given that we're on city water, Xander is strictly an indoor cat and has no contact with other animals) giardia. She said that he's very well hydrated (guess I'm doing a good job adding all that water to his food!) but they gave him some subq fluids as a boost too. Oh, and his BG while there was 328, which is obviously high but given that he was at like peak stress, I'd say that's not so bad!
She sent us home with 4 Cerenia tablets, some Proviable Forte and a full prescription for more ondansetron. (I had worried about telling her that I gave him my own, but she didn't even blink at it lol
)
Hopefully we'll get results from the Spec fPLO tomorrow (or the next day). She said that she might have me come back in for some painkillers if it is positive for pancreatitis.
And that's all for us today! I hope everyone's had a nice uneventful Tuesday.
I want to catch up on everyone's condos and will come back in a little bit for that.
A very not-happy boy who fully earned his Tuna with Salmon Churu once we got home!
ETA: In case anyone is wondering, the reason I haven't continued moving his shot times back to the usual 8:30 is because I'm going to be out next Monday night and probably arriving around the current delayed shot time. Instead of moving him all the way back to 8:30 for Wednesday and then immediately starting moving him the opposite direction for Monday, I just left him where he is and will shift back after that.
