check-ups

[cellio]

Embla now weighs 11 pounds 1 ounce, up almost four pounds since her treatment for hyperthyroidism a year ago. Wow. I'm not sure, but this might be a record for her. (I asked my vet if my cat is fat yet and she said this is a good weight, but we don't want to see it keep going up. She had gained the first three of those pounds in the first six months, so I think it's tapering off.) Her heart rate was 160, same as last time.

Baldur weighs 14 pounds 4 ounces. He's been fluctuating in the 13.5-15.5 range for a while. His heart rate was 200 but he was agitated (Baldur is always agitated at the vet's). The vet heard a slight murmur again. She wants me to bring him along when Erik has his next checkup in December, unless something unusual happens before then.

Baldur only weighs three pounds and a bit more than Embla, but he still feels much heavier. I think Baldur has variable gravity. :-)

Erik didn't go tonight but we talked about him anyway. She wants me to bring him by for a weight check in a month or so.

I didn't know about the print! I've had the book for years; one of my more prized possessions, for it Explains Everything. Highly recommended.

True! I just didn't expect him to deploy it in the cat carrier. :-) (Nothing like having one carrier in each hand to really notice the difference...)

I love Robin's theory. I didn't know about the poster!
