Wilf isn't well - his demeanour is OK but things like his breathing isn't brilliant and he's struggling to walk far.
Initially we thought his heart murmur may be needed tablets now but both my vet and I felt there was something else, so before she prescribed anything she checked his bloods but while their blood machine only spewed out 2 results it suggested his platelets were low. Another blood test was taken while I was there (he's such a good boy as he didn't mind at all) and were sent off - bloods back tomorrow
No signs of any infection at all so am hoping we've missed something and it is still just IMTP again - he had an episode 2 years ago - and not something else like lymphoma
So so fed up - I lost Ruby last year then Ollie my cat 2 days before Christmas, Wilf & Stella had gastro bug over christmas that needed vet treatment, Lady's hip is out, Stella has a fatty lump that my vet feels may need removing as its growing into the muscle and Bosley needed a cataract op last year even though he's only 2 - its not as if I need any more bad luck
True Wilf is 12 so getting older but so so sad at the prospect of losing him so soon (the treatment for the IMTP could also kill him but at least he has a better chance with that than lymphoma) - he's been my 'laughing boy' (he always looks as if he is anyway) for as long as I can remember
My vet put him on steroids tonight as I was worried last night he might collapse
