Oliver's Trip to the Vet

So - Mr. Kitty had to go back to the vet today.  He had a few days where he was okay with no throwing up but the last couple of days he has started up again.  So - off to the vet we went.

They took blood and urine and sent it off to the lab - should know the results on Monday.  The vet thinks it could be one of the following:

  • Thyroid meds need adjusted.
  • Something going on with kidney/bladder/urinary - he has had some issues in this department.
  • The fact that Ollie is the head groomer and always, always throws up hair - maybe he needs a daily dose of Laxatone to make things go out the other end.
  • Option D - none of the above
We will see what Monday brings.  In the meantime they gave him a shot for anti nausea that should hold him for the weekend.  He is glad to be home - you can see from the pictures he didn't love going but he was a good boy anyway.  He seems to be feeling just fine - he has had a bite to eat and a drink and now he is curled up on the back of the sofa with Zoey snoozing away.  Fingers crossed for a simple fix for my little dude.
