Megat's visit to the vet

Megat waiting for his blood test results calmly

Hmm...maybe this is not such a bad place....

Relaxing at home ...

Megat went to see Dr Su yesterday for a review. He sat in the waiting room for close to one hour as there was a back log. He was very calm and looked at the other patients quietly. I was very surprised as I thought he might not take the visit too well as he was not used to going to the vet. Dr Su was very pleased with his progress and told him he was looking very well. His coat has grown and he did not look as sick as before. She weighed him and he was a whopping 4.25 kg from 3.5 kg. She was pleased about that as she said if he was really sick, he may not have put on all that weight :)

His blood tests truend out very well indeed and all his numbers were normal. The last time he had his test, the numbers were off the scale! Only his BUN was 47.9 when it should be between 10-30. But the first time it was 59.0! His creatinine level was 1.30, well below 2.0 :)

I asked Dr Su if he should be vaccinated but she said she wanted to make sure that his blood tests remain positive and so I have to bring him for another review in 3 months. We are both very glad that we could manage his kidneys only with a change in diet, with the Renal 32 eventhough he would not eat it without his NB.

I asked Dr Su about the wisdom of giving him lingzhi mushroom and she was very enthusiastic about it. She said I was to get cracked lingzhi mushroom as it would be more potent. I could get them in capsules from the TCM Hall. He still has to take his ARCferon and his cod liver oil though but that is not a hardship :)

Megat took the whole thing very calmly and he even had a short nap while waiting for the test results. He really is a very good kitty :)
