As some of you know, Lita made her way to the vet yesterday. Thank you to all who left purrs and prayers for her on Facebook - we appreciate the support very much!
I decided to take Lia to the vet because she has not been herself for a couple of weeks. She is spending a lot of time under the dresser, and she is not as enthusiastic about food as she usually is. She's usually the first one in the kitchen when I open a can, but there have been times lately where she doesn't even bother moving from where she is when she hears a can open.
Given her serious respiratory issues, I thought it best not to guess about what's bothering her and take her to see Dr. S instead.
She weighed in at 12.68 pounds. Dr. S and I agree that while Lita is a little overweight, we would both be happy if she stays at this weight for the rest of her life. I'm glad we're on the same page about this.
He gave her a thorough exam. He said her eyes look great, and her kidneys and thyroid feel just fine. He said there is some bacteria on her teeth, but he thinks the water additive he's created may help with that (we have some here already because he thought it would help Carmine, too).
