Max is OK

[dancerjodi]

The vet just called. She said Max's sugar is slightly high (but based on his behaviors is "probably basically regulated"). She also mentioned that his platelet count is slightly low and his liver enzymes slightly high, but with the absence of other symptoms and being only off slightly, she's not concerned about it.

Basically, she's attributing Max's weight loss and other activities to just being old and diabetic (i.e. to be expected, and not much we can do about it). Phew! Overall given his age and such, she said he's really healthy.

Thanks for all of your kind words yesterday, it does mean a lot to me.

Thanks for all of your help! :)

I think this was the first time that this particular doctor saw Max (usually he's with Debra Lynn). She commented to Brian a few times that she was amazed at how well he was doing, and said that when she was his age, she'd probably need to use puppy pads too! :)

Sorry I missed yesterday's chance to purr in your direction. Am glad the crisis has passed for now. Big lick to Max.
