Hope everyone had a good weekend

We had our appointment with the new internist on Friday and I think it went better than the last one. I’m not sure anyone is going to be exactly right but I felt heard and understood with this specialist. We ultimately decided not to do an ultrasound, as it didn’t seem like it would change much of what we’re doing. Binx is no longer having diarrhea and any other symptoms are gone.

We did decide to run updated labs and I’m happy to report his kidney values have come down since all the dehydration from the diarrhea/vomitting. However, the internist suspects it might be his hyperthyroidism skewing the values, since we’re keeping Binx on the high end of normal for his T4. The hyperT is also likely the reason he hasn’t really been able to gain any weight.

I’ll do a recheck in 4-6 weeks and go from there.

Safe surfing

So glad Binx is feeling much better!! Whew
And glad the CKD data looks improved.....I always feel the hyperT is skewing that as well to some degree.

My vet says we just have to try to balance it all as best we can. But if she's stable, that's what we aim for.
Hoping that's the best strategy....

I am glad you liked the new vet and they sound to be reasonable and very happy you were heard. That is so important.
You do such a great job with sweet Binx, Briana.
Please give him many belly rubs from me

I’m so happy you felt heard and understood! That’s the best feeling in the world when someone takes you seriously. Best of luck with Binx! Any chance I could get a Binx pic update?

(Also, I get an error when I click your “Last post” link, but maybe my phone is just being funky!)

Thanks, Staci

Exactly what my vet was saying too... balance is key! I feel the same about Binx, trying not to pick at one number over the other and just make sure he's healthy and stable.

Thank you x2, Sara! Definitely makes all the difference to feel like your effort is validated, especially when that doesn't happen to often it seems. And I fixed the link!

Here are some recents of Binx! That big Acro head really coming through haha

Omg I love him I’ve never seen a black kitty with pink paws before!!
He really does look like the Binx from Hocus Pocus!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

What big paws you have Binx!

I'm glad the appointment went well and you didn't have to spring for a U/S at this time. The word "balance" was something Neko's IM said all the time.
