Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone, it's me, Giovanni, and we is joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop today!

Last week me went to de v-e-t to have some follow-up bloodwork done. 

Well, the next day the vet called Mama and said she thinks me is a DIABETIC KITTY! Mama said, "WHAT?!?!" The vet said my glucose came in at 324. 

Mama told the vet me has NO symptoms of diabetes. So they decided to run a fructosamine test on me that would tell them what my blood glucose has been like over the past two weeks. 

Mama was 99.9% sure that my high blood glucose level was because me is SO terrified at the vet, but she wanted to make sure. So, Mama waited on pins and needles for two more days because the lab was being very slow with my test.

It turns out my fructosamine was just fine! 

She says me is sweet but not TOO sweet! MOL!

Mama is going to try and spot check me sometime in the next month, but the vet is planning to run another fructosamine test on me and recheck my potassium (because it was a bit low) when me goes in for my dental in September.

So today me and Mama are thankful me is not a sugar baby and that me is healthy for my dental next month.

Purrs and Prayers for Gabriel

 

Hi everybody, it's mes, Gabriel.

Me hasn't been feeling so good for de last couple of weeks. Mama took me to de vet last week, but it wasn't our usual vet, and let's just say de vet me saw last week was not helpful! 

Me is nauseous and my belly hurts whenever me eats. Me hides after my meals cause my tummy hurts and me no feel good. 

Mama says we is going back to de vet, but our PRIMARY VET this time, on Wednesday so they can run some tests on mes and figure out what be going on with my belly. 

Mama is trying to manage de symptoms de best she can, but me still feels crummy. Mama gets really sad cause hers doesn't like seeing me not feel well. Hers is a good mama, and me knows hers is doing her best to get me some answers and relief as soon as hers possibly can. 

Thankful Thursday: Extra Treats

 

Hi everybody, it's mes, Gabriel!

First of all, me wants to say thank you to everybody who wished mes a Happy Gotcha Day! Me is lucky to have so many pawesome friends!

Do you know what else me is thankful for?

EXTRA TREATS!!!

That's right, me has been getting extra treats lately!! Giovanni gets a treat after each dose of metronidazole he gets, and me gets some, too, because Mama says you can't give one fuzzy a treat and not the other. Hers says me is getting treats just because I'm cute! MOL!!

Giovanni gets his medicine twice a day, so me has been enjoying lots of extra treats this past week! Too bad he will be done with his meds soon, MOL!

Today be MY FIRST GOTCHA DAY!!!!!!

One year ago today, me came to live with Mama and Giovanni! Me was only 10 weeks and a tiny baby then! Here me be the day Mama and I first met at my foster home. Mama gotted to meet all my siblings (we were all named after trees, which Mama thought was adorable!), and while hers kept asking about my light orange brother Cedar, hers finally listened to me—me had to practically throw myself in her bag to get her to listen—and hers chose me! Me is sure thankful my persistence paid off and Mama listened.

Me thought it would be fun to share a few photos of mes from my first year of life here in my forever home.
