Billy Update

[Shelley123]

Hope everything goes ok for Billy, what a worry these pets are for us.
It's a very good sign that he's eating and happy in himself, perhaps as you say his problem with his liver is age related.
We have had some problems with Jerry who is nearly 16 , basicaly the vet has told us that apart from his occasional toilet accidents he is a healthy cat and so we manage his condition. Good luck with the results on Monday.

Thanks Shelley

Billy's generally a very clean little cat and even went out in the rain yesterday rather than go in his tray, so whilst age-related incontinence is understandable I'm nearly 100% certain that it's purely a reaction to the vet with him, as his accidents always coincide with a trip to the vet for a blood test, especially since he *always* does it in a room that's been recently renovated (luckily with laminate flooring!).

I'll be sure to let you know what the vet says tomorrow

Hello All

Sorry I forgot to update you all yesterday. It's good news.

The second set of blood tests came back with the thyroid and liver enzyme readings at their proper levels. As far as his kidneys go, there's been no deterioration.

Because he's eating well and happy in himself Becky just wants to weigh him in about a month's time. Mum picked him up yesterday and thinks he feels a bit heavier, but I've also noticed his shoulders don't feel so 'sharp' when I cuddle him.

That's very good news Gaina - time to take a deep breath and give Billy an extra cuddle from me .... well done lad!

[Gaina]

Thank you Angie, I'll do that. He's had cuddles sent to him from Texas to Tunbridge-Wells!

[Shelley123]

brilliant news about Billy, thanks for the update

Hello All,

Just a quickie to let you know Billy had a check up on Thursday and the vet's very pleased with him. He's back up to 3kg and the vet said she doesn't need to seem him again until August/September.

He's currently fast asleep in his bed under the stairs as it's nice and cool there.

Hope you're all well.

Hi Gaina ....... what good news about Billy. Sounds as if he's sensible too, keeping cool after his vet visit. Thanks for letting us know he's doing OK.
