My lovely foster boy went peacefully to the bridge this evening. He had seemed really well recently but this evening was very unsteady and although tried to eat and drink was having difficulty standing. We took him to the emergency vet who could feel large tumours on his kidney and in his stomach which must have been fast growing as he had a check up in May which was fine. Peter had been with us since November last year and was the most gentle and affectionate cat with lots of character and personality. I will miss him so much but am happy that we were able to help him in his last months and even this morning he enjoyed his favourite meal of chicken for breakfast. Love you P, XXX

Excellent news

The teeth being sorted really seems to make such a huge difference (it did for Tiggy too) I guess we don't realise just how much it affects them until we see how they are after a dental.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #31 on:** January 18, 2011, 23:05:53 PM »

Wonderful news for Peter..............now we need some pics

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #30 on:** January 18, 2011, 21:58:28 PM »

That is excellent news

When my Sam had bloods done prior to his dental (3 years ago) - his thyroid levels came back borderline normal/Hyper-T. They retested after the dental and it was right smack in the middle of normal range where he has been every since. I was told that the need for a dental can affect some of the blood results readings.

Anyhow hope he goes from strength to strength - well done you and Peter of course.

ChrisB · « **Reply #29 on:** January 18, 2011, 21:22:08 PM »

Peter is doing really, really well since his dental

He is so much brighter and I think he must have been in a lot of pain before, poor boy - it was a bit of a risk as to whether he was well enough for the anaesthetic but the vet felt his teeth had become a priority and it was definitely the right decision. The other good news is that his thyroid level is now 26 which the vet said is mid-point within the 'normal' range which is great. Hopefully he will now start to gain some weight - his next appointment is not for another month when he may be OK for vaccs. Peter says

for all your good wishes.

very distinguished looking cat.

I agree!

How's his thyroid now?

Oh, Peter is so lovely, he really, really reminds me of our Proot when he first came to us. Glad to see he's landed on his feet.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #26 on:** January 13, 2011, 16:32:43 PM »

So pleased it went well and he is hungry

clarenmax · « **Reply #25 on:** January 13, 2011, 13:40:37 PM »

bless him, I'm sure he'll be a lot happier now his teeth are sorted

Guest · « **Reply #24 on:** January 12, 2011, 22:53:39 PM »

He is a gorgeous fella

ChrisB · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2011, 20:24:36 PM »

All went well for Peter and he is back home - a bit wobbly but has had a little kitten food (not enough though he is telling me !). He had several teeth removed and they were in a bad way, some crumbling, so I am sure he will soon be feeling much more comfortable. Should get test results in a day or two to see how hyper-t level is going. Vet nurses love him and his gentle nature.
Thanks for all your good wishes.

Sending lots of good vibes for Peter's dental tomorrow

Wot a lovely chap he looks

ChrisB · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2011, 22:53:34 PM »

Peter is much improved and well settled here. Unfortunately he has not put on as much weight as we hoped but his heartbeat is now normal so is booked in for a much needed dental tomorrow morning and bloods will be tested again.

I would definitely ask how high his values are, as in my experience, the higher they are, the more of a struggle you have getting them down. They should be kicking in, and my other advice would be to make sure that once his levels start coming down his kidneys are rechecked, as hyper-t can mask CRF.

Totally agree with Desley

ChrisB · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2010, 21:57:12 PM »

everyone. Your good wishes are working as Peter seems brighter today. He is more steady when walking and happy to be brushed - lots of loose fur and flea dirts coming out so I think he feels more comfy as he washed his face after eating tonight. Desley, I don't know how high his values are - this is my first experience of hyper-t so any advice would be appreciated. He has many of the symptons I have read up about including claws not retracting properly. Would the meds be kicking in yet (has been on them for a week) as today he doesn't seem to be drinking/weeing as excessively as before.

Poor baby

Hope he'll soon be well, Chris, poor little man

clarenmax · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2010, 14:07:27 PM »

Aw poor wee man, glad he's with you now in the safe and warm getting nice food and cuddles

Guest · « **Reply #8 on:** November 16, 2010, 13:15:15 PM »

JackSpratt · « **Reply #7 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:11:19 AM »

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #6 on:** November 16, 2010, 09:58:04 AM »

At least he is in a warm place with plenty of food, which is the best thing a hyper-t cat needs - do you know how high his values are? I do hope you can stabilise that.

Mark · « **Reply #5 on:** November 15, 2010, 23:57:02 PM »

I sounds like he he getting the TLC he needs Chris

I'm sure he will be fine

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #4 on:** November 15, 2010, 23:51:42 PM »

Lots of hugs for Peter... and for you too, Chris.
