As you may, or may not, know, OH and I have been umming and aahing about Monster and his lack of appetite. This has been a very slow decline but now is noticeable.
So, today Monster finally went to see the vet.
First Monster was weighed and he has not lost weight, so that’s good. I was beginning to think I could see less of him and, as I said to the vet, Monster never refuses a meal and loves eating so this behaviour is not normal for him.
6.5kg Monster, that’s quite a big cat, just sayin’.
But no one mentioned anything about being over-weight so we’ll leave that there. Not even the vet and he would’ve said.
The diagnosis was that Monster has gingivitis and needs his teeth cleaned. We were given some antibiotics to clear up any infection (his gums were not pretty) and an appointment was made for next week for “a dental” and I also want him to have a chest x-ray for his asthma.
Monster was very good about everything
Even to the point of climbing back into his travel basket unasked once finished with (and it was quite the fight to get him in on the way there).
So, we’re all home now and I gave Monster his antibiotics (first blood was drawn on OH who was holding him) and I can see the next few days are going to be fun while we continue the course.
Pepper felt very left out.
