Thankyou! This will mess up his numbers for sure....any advice on medications...he may get a pain med will any of those mess with bg?
Buprenophine or gabepentin should not. A steroid shot would definitely so I would not want that.
Ok...downside to the new vet is she typically likes to do exam and stuff without anyone in room. I also read a review that they like to treat and charge you before they discuss treatment. So when I go in I will tell them not to do anything until I hear the issue and treatment plan.
I took her to the vet, they gave her a three day course of Onsior and she was fine after that. Onsior is an anti-inflammatory and hard on the kidneys, that's why the treatment is so short, so not recommended if there are any kidney issues. 
At last blood panel in October when he was dx with fd his kidneys were working great...but I'll be aware of that info thankyou!My civvie Olive was limping for a bit. She usually flies onto window sills and kitchen counters effortlessly like an Olympic athlete but sometimes she misses her targets.
Sending healing light and vetty vines.
Good to know that his kidneys are still functioning well. My Olive who is small and skinny thinks she is invincible, whereas Ruby is a much bigger cat and less sure of herself when jumping so is much more cautious and gets into fewer scrapes. These cats.
Yes these cats! He still seems to think big as he is he can jump like he is still 2 years old LOLGood to know that his kidneys are still functioning well.

Darcy had Onsior and next thing I knew he had failing kidneys. Who knows? I have never forgotten it though. He didn’t get it for long. Kidneys were probably already failing and I didn’t know it yet.My civvie Olive was limping for a bit.

Same thing happened to me. I thought Darcy had kidney disease when he was drinking lots of water etc. that’s why he went to the vet only to find out it was FD - and later found out about the Acromegaly
I miss Darcy. You took such good care of him, but sadly it seems kidney troubles can strike fast and hard. I knew enough from all of the experience of caregivers here like you not to give Onsior unless I had recent labs that proved it would be ok. Olive's kidneys are still good after the Onsior.
Yes. Bupe is my “go to” drug for pain in cats!
I will say when I went for the initial visit which was more of an interview for her
they weren't allowing us in exam and I told them up front I wanted to be in room I'd keep my mask on entire time and give vet room do examine LM but I refused to not go with him. He is so skittish I need to be there to help keep him calm. They allowed me to do it so I will gove same request tomorrow and hopefully it will go over well
Hi. Well he only had Onsior twice
I hope so! Paws crossed!I will say when I went for the initial visit which was more of an interview for her
