Duchess

Preliminary update from the blood lab: glucose high. I don't have a number on that nor do I have an "upshot" (insulin required or not). The rest of the report will arrive Monday, including stuff like thyroid numbers.

I've already told my vet that if she's diabetic I'll want to switch to a veterinarian closer to where I live. He suggested I ask the emergency clinics for a recommendation. "They usually know," he said. "As these animals come in they know whether a vet's any good." I bet that's excellent advice.

I sure hope it isn't "going around". Hey, kitties of the friendslist? No one else get sick, okay? :-/

G'luck with Val's continued health. Duchess has been overweight for quite some time, and I think that that link is pretty well established, so... *sigh*. I tried to ration the food without making anyone miserable but I guess things went on too long.

I'm definitely grateful that she's a sweetheart. If this were jackiecat I'd be investing in bulletproof gloves. :-/ She's about twelve, best guess. Probably no more than eight years to go.
