Snowball Went To The Vet Today And...

I wanted to share some good news!!!

First of all, he was diagnosed with early kidney disease two years ago, and has to have a blood test every six months to check his kidney function. Today's test showed that his kidney function is within normal, thanks to a strict diet of K/D, and his liver function and glucose levels were also normal.

Another thing I was concerned about was a small bump on Snowball's back. I was afraid this might be something serious, but it turned out to be only an ingrown hair.

One more thing...he was so well behaved during his exam that the vet wanted to make him a model patient for the other cats!!!

Snowball will be 12 years old next month, and I'm so glad he is still healthy.

That is GREAT news Lorie! YAY for Snowball! What a good boy you've got!

Great news! Go Snowball show them other kitties how it is done

He's so pretty and you are taking such good care of him. I'm sure he will give many more years of love to you!

Good news! Congrats Snowball!

Good news! I'm happy to hear that Snowball is doing well and was very well behaved. Maybe he should do a kitty lecture on how to behave at the vet.

That is good news! Keep up the good work with Snowball. I'm sure he's so appreciative of you!

He should come over here to teach my 2 old ones how to properly behave at the vet!

Wonderful!

Congratulations to you and to Snowball!

Alix P Curls grandpa is 16 and was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure 14 months ago..still going strong

Yay for Snowball!! Maybe he can give Ophelia some tips about being good at the vets.

Oh Lorie! This is great news , You are such a good meowmy to Snowball!

Congrats!!!

I'm just catching up, and I saw this thread, and obviously got worried at first.... but YAY!!!! We have tried so hard to make sure Tuxedo gets his special diet (c/d) ONLY, but he had another urinary tract infection today. We haven't given him any treats (other than the c/d we keep in a treat jar so he THINKS he's getting treats) - and we haven't seen him eat anything other than his food. Poor little guy!

I'm SO GLAD Snowball is healthy and doing great! That is such a testament to you. Seems like he's going to live a long, healthy life.

P.S. I sincerely doubt Tuxedo is being a model patient!!!!!! Maybe Snowball can give him lessons?

LOL!!!! Maybe! The veterinary clinic was a little quieter than usual last week. That really helped Snowball stay calm during his exam. It didn't even upset him when the vet took his temperature.

hey that is great news, i love to hear good news like thais, i could jump for joy for you and snowball, but this will have to do
