When we went for his senior check on Saturday - they did a blood pressure screening on my old guy - he is ~ 17/18. His BP was 200 - yikes.
He went back for a recheck tonight - the vet brought us into the "quiet room" - it is set up like a little sitting room with a couch and a rug. I brought him his favorite treats, freeze dried shrimp, and fish flakes.
This time I restrained him slightly (he hates being held or restrained in anyway) instead of a vet tech. I petted on him and gave him scritches.
And the results were.............~160. Whew...... I was really worried for my gentle orange boy.
They said, he looks like a 10 year old not a 17 yo.
He does go back for a cysto (?) to test USG tomorrow - just to be safe.
