6/23 Tigger AMPS 280 - going to the vet next week

[Moms2Tigger&Blu]

It's almost been a year since that terrible day we almost lost our prince. I can not believe how fast its gone . . . and I really can't believe he's not better regulated
We are getting a yearly/senior wellness exam with bloodwork and all. Is there anything specific I should ask for? Is a fructosamine test worth it?

I’m sorry for you loss of Prince, I lost Sammie in dec and I can’t believe it’s been 6 months
I personally would not get the fructosamine test and i base that on you test well

Hope everything will be fine at the vet!
Often they insist on fructosamine but as Jamie said, I don't think it's necessary; you test regularly!

No fructosamine test! I'd get the works though: urinalysis and senior panel. See how the kidneys and liver is doing.

 

[Moms2Tigger&Blu]

agreed, i'm not worried about anything in particular but the idea of going is making me nervous so I'm planning all our questions and stuff well in advance. Symptomatically - or lack thereof - he's doing great so I know I shouldnt be worried but thats easier said than done

Make sure the senior panel includes a T4 to check the thyroid. A urinalysis is also a good idea. Paws crossed for a boring vet visit.
