Keith and I decided that since the house sold, and we are in a small apartment (with small rent payments) now would be the time. This also frees up my days to look for a house and take care of all the getting settled in a new area kinda things.
One of which I took care of on Monday. We found a new Vet to take the kids to. Well I should have known that a new vet would want to run all sorts of tests on Kitty. So after almost 3 hours and a few hundred dollars, I got to bring my babies home, with the knowledge that Kitty has arthritis. yup... now my diabetic cat is also arthritic.
Our other vet (in Idaho) had told us that he wasn't as playful, and wasn't jumping onto things, because of the diabetes... um NO! after looking at the X rays, there is no doubt, my baby has bone spurs all around his knees.
That's why he is not jumping onto the couch, or anything anymore. I feel like a bad mom, I should have known it was more. Well we are going to start treating him for the arthritis as soon as the blood work is back, we want to be sure everything else is ok. I have to wonder... how much is too much? He seems to live an almost normal cat life....
