They weighed her and she now weight 9 pounds 12.5 ounces. I'm estimating she was 12-13 pounds before as she used to be heavier than Milita who weighs about 11 pounds 7 ounces. I can't speak for her dad, but this much weight loss scares me.
The vet asked a lot of questions and took Jewel's temperature, which was normal. She decided that blood tests were in order to test for glucose (diabetes), kidney values (kidney disease), and thyroid values (thyroid disease). She also recommended a urinalysis to test kidney values.
Unfortunately, she had a little accident on the way over, so they had to keep her there to try and get urine from her later in the same day. I hope she isn't too sad without her daddy!!
It will be a relief to find out what is going on with her so we can make her feel better. I love her!
Here's a picture of her in the vet's office. She wouldn't look at me.
Depending on when they were able to get her blood and urine (whether it was yesterday or if they had to wait until today), we will know something either later or not until Tuesday. I will let you all know.
We are all still sending lots of purrs to sweet Jewel!!!
