LT - I hope your ekg comes back normal!
I used to have a high resting heart rate (in the 100's). My bp was also a little high, so they put me on a low dose of a medication, and both bp and pulse have been beautiful. I hope if they do find something, it's a simple fix. __________________ "Odium became your opium..." ~Epica |

Thanks, Scarlet! My heart rate hasn't been quite that high, but still considerably higher than it was even a couple months ago. Good to know the medication was so helpful. My BP was sort of right on the border, I think? I used to have low blood pressure throughout much of my life, but I think age and metabolism are catching up to me... |

Vet says crotchety cat has good kidneys and elevated liver enzymes. We could x-ray ($$$) or ultrasound ($$$$). I asked whether it would be advisable to put a 17 y.o. cat through surgery if we did see something, or if we'd just do what we're already doing and keep him comfortable. So managing his inflammation, watching for pain, and giving him the best late life we can it is. Which we can do without putting him through the inconvenience and indignity of a procedure, which is how he would certainly perceive the whole thing.

Hugs, Elio. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Insurance can really suck. L doesn't work with any insurance companies so I've been paying out of pocket for most of the time I've seen her. The first year before I changed jobs, I was submitting to insurance and getting reimbursed some, but my current job/insurance our out of network deductible is ridiculously high so i'd never meet it. I hope you are able to work something out that is comfortable for you.

Hugs, WFS. That's where we're at with our diabetic cat. He's either 13 or 14 (probably closer to 14 by now) and just hates going to the vet, he gets so upset, I think a lot of that is because we can't go in with him, they come out to the parking lot to get him. We did the x-ray because it wasn't too horribly expensive (under $300, still a lot) but after that didn't find anything, decided against the MRI (like you said, $$$$) for the same reason - putting him through so much - and the vet said even if we did that, there were no guarantees they would find anything that could be fixed. So we're managing his diabetes and his mobility issues as well as possible and keeping him comfortable at home. I was talking about it with L recently and she mentioned that there's vets in town that will come to your house when it's time to let him go (she did that with her dog). I hadn't known that. We're going to go with that option so we can be with him when the time comes. Until then, I'm enjoying my time with him when I can. |
