Took the cat to the vet today
Feb. 1st, 2005 10:56 pmShe's got shots due, and it's about time to do some dental work for her. So we took her in for prelminary bloodwork, y'know, because the sedate her for the dental stuff, and we'd be really upset if she didn't come out of the sedation and all.
She's down to eight and a half pounds. Which is a GREAT weight for her, really, but she got to it a bit fast. . . The vet thinks she could detect a somewhat enlarged thyroid, and a fast heart rate. So, since they're doing the bloodwork, anyway, we'll be seeing if our kitty has become hyperthyroid.
The other thing is that the vet thinks she may have detected a slight heart murmur, too. So we may be doing an ultrasound to check that out.
Boop is fourteen years old, which means that this sort of thing isn't really too unexpected. Still, we're really hoping she'll have six more years of heath.
