good kitty!
Aug. 13th, 2007 08:04 pmErik had a check-up tonight. His weight is (drum roll, please)... 8 pounds 8.5 ounces! This is a gain of three-quarters of a pound since April and the highest he's been in over four years, according to my vet. (My own records are not good enough, but that sounds about right.) If we can get another pound on we'll call it good. :-) (His all-time high was about 10.5 pounds, but that was when he was two years old.)
Heart rate was 160 (down from 180 last time and 220 the time before, which was when we started treating for hyper-thyroid). No arrhythmia, either.
It's time for blood tests, but other than whatever that reveals, he seems to be doing great! I think we finally have the right combination of meds for his various conditions.
My vet was thrilled, and she snuggled him and made a fuss over him.

Date: 2007-08-18 12:05 am (UTC)I just snipped a distressing number of little mats out of Erica, and am wondering whether having Perrine around upset her enough to cause her to quit self-grooming, or whether it's an age thing. She is at least 14, and tends to be skinny. She's always been skinny. I'm going to start watching her closely. She won't like it, but Phlbbt! What's one more hairy shirt or two in the wash?
