04Mar25: Andy’s visit to see his doctor…

A bit longer than usual, but I know you want to know as much as I can tell you.
Sounds like it was a pretty good visit. He’s looking extra fluffy in these pictures
It went well, but there still is concern about weight loss that is going to be followed up on the next time.
He is extra fluffy at this point, thanks to letting his hair go natural for a Persian kitty.
The anemia should be easily correctable unless it is medication related. I hope they can find the cause. Andy, and you, are in my thoughts and prayers, Doug.
I wondered about the medication, too. The swing downward happened after he was put on medication. Reduction in the hyperthyroidism medication helped .
I took a look for articles on side effects of methimazole, particularly anemia. The literature is rife with references to anemia developing after this medication in cats, and in humans. Let me know if you would like me to send you some of these articles.
That’s helpful to know without any further articles. That particular medication initially was prescribed to be applied twice a day. His veyerinarian recently had me reduce it to once every other day.
I wonder what is causing the anemia? SOrry you had to go the vet Andy. I hope you got extra treats to make up for it.
That’s to be determined still. It’s worrisome, of course.
Poor Andy, I have a cat that has to go vet frequently as he has kidney problems
So far,Andy’s not had kidney issued. His wet food it made to help that.
Glad he went into the carrier and the visit went well.
Three times! He definitely sees the carrier as a safe place when he’s in a strange place. That probably explains why he goes into it with little fuss when I need to take him somewhere.
Sending purrayers and Power of the Paw for Andy to get some good results and god news,
Thanks! I hope so, too.
Amazing that he is so good with the carrier.
It truly is!
This blog of your, Doug, was an absolute pleasure to read. Good stat’s for Andy, and he seemed to enjoy it, the staff were pleased, your were pleased and andy had kip and purr on the way home. Perfect! Well done both of you.
It was a pleasant trip, oddly!
Great! So pleased.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Gerry. I don’t often have that much content to post.
Thanks, Doug.
Wow, Andy was a very good boy! I’m glad the blood work is good and that was a very fast result! Hi Andy! ❤️😻
Yes, he was the best of any cat I’ve had and the staff like him a lot since he isn’t fussy or mean for them.
Goog boy Andy!
He is!
Glad Andy survived the trip, felt comforted by his carrier, and got good results. Way to go Andy!
I was very amazed and pleased he was so cooperative from home to clinic to home again!
Sounds like overall, everything went well at the vet’s … Love all the pictures! In first pic with the vet, wow Andy looks like such a totally furry guy!
Does the blood work mean the medication is working? All cats seem are eager to get into the carrier when they are at the vet!
He seems to be adapting to the routine in his carrier
I am encouraged that he’s come to think of it as a safe haven when he’s feeling insecure. It makes putting him there easier, too.
we bet you will win the patient of the month badge… you are the best kitty boy ever
It could happen!
Dear Doug, Andy seems well, I hope and wish everything to go fine too. You and doctors are so nice, Andy knows this and not being problem in the clinic. Thank you, Have a nice day for you both, Love and Hugs, nia
Thanks, nia! There are some concerns about weight loss, but his blood test results look good, especially for a kitty his age.
You are welcome dear Doug, I hope and wish nothing important. My second one, Cesur he is still limping, our vet thinks that cesur because of his weight living something… it will be taken x-ray if he doesn’ get well. CATS are so lovely but when they have a problem I am being panic and so nervous. I hope and wish you both a nice day and results… Love and Hugs, nia
Yes, not being able to ask our pets questions about their hurts is a sad problem. Best wishes on learning what his problem is, nia.
