We must have a look on our face when we go after them! I've thought about this and I think for mine it's because the only time I walk at them and intend to pick them up it's to "go" or to be held and medicated. They all come to me and with so many I am never catless so theya re leary of ME coming to THEM. Hope her labs are good. Actually a little weight loss in a senior cat is more likely due to kidney issues than thyroid. If they aren't getting all the protein out of their food the protein in passed in the urine and they lose weight. Did they do a urinalysis too? -- Piggy's Pad

No, Dr. Lee didn't do a urinalysis yesterday.......would blood work show anything with any problems with her kidneys? (NT) -- Kate, 8:02:03 pm, Wed, 03/05/08
Crea (creatinin) is on the blood work but protein, specific gravity, protein/phos levels on a UA show kidney issues. There can be kidney issues like protein in the urine BEFORE it shows up on blood work cause when blood work shows a problem it's usually when there is already damage or disease. Protein in the urine causes the kidneys to work harder and leads to damage. Sometimes lab work can be perfect but an ultrsound will show kidney damage. (NT) -- D, 5:29:18 am, Fri, 03/07/08
