Artie Dental on Monday

[artiemom]

 
How is sweet Artie doing?

Oh, thank you for asking... 
 

I have not had anymore of an issue with his teeth.. His awesome Vet, left the practice in order to be closer to her home...and it is no where near where I live, so he has to see a new regular Vet. I am making an appointment with one for next month..

so nothing new with his teeth..

Artie had an appointment with the Specialist (Internal Med) last week. He goes every 3 months or so.. The blood work came out good. I have yet to see it, but I expect a copy of it in the mail. The specialist was very happy with the blood work.. He does not have to see her for another 4-6 months!! (happy dance) 

unless, he gets another flare of his IBD...but we seem to have a handle on it.. when he does not eat, stops playing, stays in a meatloaf position, and vomits a couple of times; I automatically call the specialist. She prescribes a round of Cerenia, which seems to do the trick...

funny thing: after his last flair, in September, He decided he likes to play, again!  

  not for long, but he is so alert...

I mean for a cat who is almost 13 years old (February), I am so ecstatic..he is really alert...

not as cuddly, but still alert..not as talkative, but still such a good boy..

I wish he would gain a bit of weight.. it seems with each flare-up, he will lose weight, and never re-gain all that he has lost..He eats about 2.5 - 3 small cans of food per day..and cannot gain weight. Artie was a thin cat to begin with...

over the past almost 5 years (March), we have really grown to know each others habits, routines, personalities..

He is so good with taking medicines.. sometimes, not so good, but on the whole, he is a good by...

Artie still does not leave me if I am not feeling well..He is still my nurse...

Artie is still my love

This is excellent news!  Artie sounds like he's doing very well. That's down to you - you've made that possible doing everything possible to keep him healthy.  I love the way you describe how close the two of you have gotten.  Artie is such a very special boy.

He is a very handsome, special boy. I'm so glad that he's doing well. The fact that he is playing is great!!  The 2 of you were certainly meant for each other.

thank you....I was unsure about that picture, but it is a memory of him, sleeping in my lap, as he does every night while I watch TV.. That fleece throw is his favorite...

Hey Artiemom-So GLAD he's doing well! That's because YOU are a good momma and take good care of him. I love it when our loves give us hugs and snuggles.

He looks very handsome and relaxed.
