Kitty update: the tests are in.
May. 22nd, 2007 09:14 amWe heard from the vet this morning (
wildernessguru woke me at 5am to tell me about the voicemail, when I'd gone to bed at 2am... groan). Commander Fuzzhead's tests are in: no ill effects from Nutro's poison pet food.
However, his refusing to eat any other brand of cat food has turned into a problem. Cats get a lot of their water from their "wet food" and he's dehydrated. His kidneys are working overtime as he walks away from one bowl of cat food after another.
In addition, he has some kind of infection so the vet's asked us to take him in to get his teeth cleaned. If that doesn't fix it, more tests. *cringe* It took them four tries to find his tiny little veins.
