Took Francis to see TED (Mr Kennedy - the good vet) this morning. Mr K is
pleased with Francis. In the last week Francis's appetite has increased
noticeably and he's put back on a bit of the weight he lost. Awaiting results
of a blood test to see what current kidney function is, but as Mr K said, even
if the numbers are bad, Francis is good in himself and seems as if he's going
to be around for a good while yet. So it's keeping Francis on his daily tablet,
and just making sure we keep an eye on him, give him TLC and as long as he's
happy being a cat doing cattish things and has a good quality of life, he's
here to stay, so to speak.
Cheers, helen s

Thanks CatNipped. Francis is currently curled up asleep on the cahir next to my
desk... all that eating is tiring. He's putting on weight & I've lost 8lbs this
week :-)

You've lost 8lbs in one week! Wow, that is a lot. What did you do, let
Francis have your food?

So nice to hear he is doing so well. We will purr for a good test
result. Nikki sends special TED purrs, as she had a meeting with one
today, complete with blood-drawing and rough palpitating, which she was
very unhappy and growly about. They'll check her thyroid levels and I
will also have to start her on Prednisone again. I thought I could
gradually stop giving it now that summer's over, but when I had ended
the course, she started coughing again. So it's back to asthma meds as
well as hyperthyroidism meds.
She's very happy to be back home, and even Frank seemed relieved to see
us back. Now to nurse my neck where she climbed up to get away from the
needles and prodding hands.

Thanks to all, especially Nikki. Francis did a small amount of growling today,
but nothing serious, just to state his displeasure at having some of his blood
*stolen* by TED

Thankfully Francis didn't use any grappling hooks on me to escape Mr K. Hope
your war wounds heal soon

That's good news. I hope that the kidney tests come back with good
numbers.
