Re: Pets.
Can I get your opinion, recognizing that this is still my decision?
So, Butters finished his short round of antibiotics two weeks ago. Since then, my boy has come back. His nose has completely dried up. He's not had any signs of seizure or stumbling or anything. He's eating like a pig. He's not sneezing or if he does it sounds like a soft kitty sneeze instead of someone blasting the pipes. He's playing, running up and down the stairs, and he's beating up his sister again. All of these things he has kind of stopped doing over the last two years since his nose issue started.
I have an appointment with a internist in a few weeks. I'm debating on whether I should keep the appointment since I've seen such a dramatic improvement with all the concerning symptoms gone. What would you do?
I've already decided that if any of his symptoms return, I'll take pictures and/or video to show the new vets so they can see actual evidence of his symptoms since I don't think the other ones believed me.

Re: Pets.
Stick with the appointment. It adds to his medical file, which is good to have going forward if the problem recurs or something else related. And definitely create your own visual record. A smart vet will appreciate it.Mimi wrote: ↑27 Apr 2022, 5:29pmCan I get your opinion, recognizing that this is still my decision?

Re: Pets.
Also, the CharlotteCam™ caught her peeing again last night. Here's the interesting thing: She didn't go for the previous spot, which was still covered by pee pads. Instead, she went over to where the rubber-backed cover was folded up, on the side. So my working theory is that that's what she's been going after, for some reason, not the couch per se. It's been washed and put in a closet, so now we wait to see if anything happens again.

Re: Pets.
Her scent shouldn't be there as it's been washed multiple times. Maybe it's the texture or maybe it has its own odour that she doesn't like (just spitballin' here). Of course, if she pees again on the couch without the cover around, that blows that theory out of the water. (The CharlotteCam also caught Zoë coming in an hour later and sniffing at what her sister did, then running away. She's a good girl who knows baad behaviour when she smells it.)Mimi wrote: ↑27 Apr 2022, 6:28pmIs her smell on the cover or is it soft or something?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Apr 2022, 6:23pmAlso, the CharlotteCam™ caught her peeing again last night.

Re: Pets.
Have you checked her kidney values lately? When Lic had her kidney issues her pee must have smelt off because Butters went into the litterbox right after and smelled it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Apr 2022, 6:35pmHer scent shouldn't be there as it's been washed multiple times.

Re: Pets.
No, there's no reason to think there's anything off in terms of her kidneys. She uses the litter box like the others, no issues. And she doesn't pee on the couch if those disposable pee pads are covering things. Z was almost certainly surprised to find pee outside a litter box, and properly understood it to be wrong (that doesn't go there!).Mimi wrote: ↑27 Apr 2022, 6:41pmHave you checked her kidney values lately?

Re: Pets.
Yup, liberally applied to the couch and it seems to have vanquished all past odours. That is, I can't detect anything unusual whatsoever, whereas before there were faint smells of various unusual things. So, yeah, that shit is good.
