Roy is home. Three hours at the vet. At least I found a good one this time! She said the blood work showed very beginning kidney failure, some heart issues, but mainly she felt a mass in his abdomen. So he needs to go back to the specialty vet, this time an internist. She said they did some sort of x-ray, So they could tell the mass wasn’t fecal matter. But they couldn’t tell much else about it.

But the good news is he has an appetite stimulant! It’s supposed to work pretty good. She said at this point feed him anything he wants. We just need to get some weight on him. Then we’ll worry about the kidneys. She said they have a new kidney food that isn’t as restrictive as it used to be. That they found out that limiting the protein really wasn’t that helpful. That’s good because I’ve had most cats refuse to eat that stuff.

I might go get him Arby’s tonight. I just applied the stimulant jgel, it goes in his ear. What a weird thing. I got a baggie of gloves with it, so I don’t get it on me. I told the tech the last thing I need is a appetite stimulant!
