Sylvester - one more update (bloodwork)
Hi again,
Since you all were so nice and seemed so genuinely concerned over my old guy, Sylvester, and the whole teeth cleaning issue, I thought I'd post again to tell you the results of his senior wellness blood panel. In a nutshell - he's in perfect health! Liver, kidneys, everything are all looking just great - no signs of kidney failure at all...which surprises me...he's 17! No glucose at all in his urine, which means his diabetes is well under control. Urine was a little diluted, but he drinks a lot of water and the vet is not concerned with that, as long as the glucose reading was good (which it was). The vet was actually laughing as he was reading his test results to me over the phone just now. I think he was just so tickled that a cat with three life-threatening diseases can do so well, especially into old age. He joked that Sylvester will probably live forever. My husband keeps saying Sylvester is going outlive him. LOL So, Sylvester is good to go for awhile...nothing more until a fructosamine test in six months to make sure his diabetes is still under control. Thanks again! Jennifer and old man Sylvester |

In a nutshell - he's in perfect health! Wow, what a lucky kitty! Just a thought--make sure you get a copy of the bloodwork for your records. I've found it helpful to keep a file, just in case. All vets I've dealt with are happy to do this. Cheers to Sylvester! Give him a big hug! |

Sylvester - one more update (bloodwork)
Hi again,
This is Jennifer (Sylvester's mom)... I'm not getting all of these posts...I didn't see the one quoted below from Cindy S., and there were a few earlier, when I was first asking for advice..I'd see them quoted in other responses, but never saw the originals...what's up with that? Yes, I think I have some pics...can't post them to a newsgroup though. I have a Webshots site that I use for my horses...I guess I could put some there. Let me see if I have any handy here on the computer. Jennifer sheelagh wrote: On 14 Feb, 17:13, "cindys" wrote: Thank you so much for sharing this!It's always wonderful to hear such great news!
