If he is having blood taken for tests today don't forget to tell the vet you gave him metacam as it may affect the results.
Thanks, I did tell him. It seems to have helped too as there's no sign if infection in his eyes now just the tell tale brown stains where he was rubbing his eyes. So no ointment needed.
Bad news though is Beau has lost half a kilo in 5 weeks, now down to 3.6 kgs, which has made him weak around his back legs so has developed a tottering gait.
We've taken full bloods to see what the issues are, which Neil will run in-house for me this afternoon.
We found a small ulcer on his lower canine that may have caused a loss of appetite, he has been struggling to eat anything but hand fed chicken and Dreamies for a few days and I've had to dose his Felimazole by hand rather than concealed in food, so he's had a Convenia antibiotic which should alleviate that and clear up any residual infection from the eye issue.
Needless to say I'm worried, and so is the vet, but holding out for the blood results before getting ahead of myself.
Think I'll change the topic title, I want to record his progress, as there's a lot going on with both Beau and life in general so this will help keep tabs on his progress.
Keep them crossed for him, he's a lovely little gentle soul who is the glue holding this delicately balanced furry family together.
