I'm sorry if this is turning into a blog of sorts...
I was surprised and happy to find out they (at the Renforth Vet Clinic) could see Sasha today. Agreed Sasha was a bit unhappy of being confined to the pet carrier and he did meow in protest at first...
But he was quiet on the way to the Vet. Along with the sub q I asked the Vet to check out his teeth and to have a urine culture done.
Sasha also had his BP checked - normal.
He does have gingivitis, but his teeth looked normal for a cat his age.
He was prescribed a low dosage antacid.
He got his sub-q...
But he peed all over the treatment table, so the urine culture will have to wait until Thursday where he's scheduled for his next sub q treatment.
I also got a sample of Medi Cal dry since he doesn't seem to dig the Hill's K/D very much.
Oddly enough, as soon as I let him out of the pet carrier, he went to his bowl of kibble and ate some of the K/D dry
I served him 2/3 of a cup of the Medi cal kibble on the side and he attacked that one too. He didn't polish off the bowl but he did seem to like the taste.
Looks like the sub q wet his appetite pardon the pun! I'm supposed to give him his first antacid today...lemme get that tub of margarine...
