Posts Tagged ‘losing weight’
It’s hard to believe that Pete and I adopted Max nine years ago. He’s my best-est pal, so I was very concerned when he started losing weight rather quickly a couple of months ago. He had all but lost his appetite, and was very lethargic and quiet – very un-like his normal self. We took him to the vet and ran a blood test, and they also checked his teeth. It turned out that he had an abscessed tooth and needed his teeth cleaned pretty badly. So we made an appointment for a cleaning and for the tooth to be removed. A few days later we heard back from the vet about the blood tests, and thankfully everything is fine. No kidney or liver problems for my Beastie, hooray! A few more days and it was time for the surgery, which went fine except that he wound up losing four teeth instead of just one. It’s been just over two weeks since the surgery and he is doing so much better. He’s talkative and energetic, and as of yesterday is allowed to eat whatever he wants again. Some people would say he is just a cat, but I couldn’t disagree more. Max has more personality than a lot of people I know, and I love spending my days with him. He is worth every penny that it took to make him better, and now my Max is back to his old self again and I couldn’t be happier.
