Happy Birthday Boo! I'm so glad he is feeling better and doing so well! What a cutie
Yes, she's looking for signs of kidney issues (BUN, creatinine, etc.), hyperthyroidism, and diabetes. His last labs were all clear except for some protein in his urine, which, when we did the protein to creatinine ratio test, that came out okay, too.
Is she looking for anything specific in these results? I mean, is there something she's afraid Adequan might hamper the next diagnostics for? I can't think of anything, but I can certainly be mistaken.
For the arthritis, would a heating pad under a blanket help?
I guess anything is possible, but FIP is highly unlikely. I know dry FIP can linger for awhile, but Boo's symptoms have been going on since November 2013 (six months ago). If he had FIP and it had lasted this long, I would think he'd be on his death bed right now.
is it at all possible Boo caught FIP from someone? I'm not suggesting he has it but my cat displayed similar symptoms after being exposed to other cats and I still wonder if maybe she caught it though they were SUPPOSEDLY negative (p.s...my cats nickname was boo...)
Hopefully she'll come up with something helpful
I have a phone appointment with the TCM vet tomorrow afternoon to discuss Boo's issues. I don't even know where to start, but I am hopeful she'll be able to help!I'll be spending the evening gathering his notes and records.

when was the last time he had an ultrasound of his abdomen?
