"HOOMAN! I KNOW DIS PLACE!" 😾
Last Friday, I found Joey hiding underneath a furniture which was not his usual routine. Cats that start to hide can mean two things: they are either physically ill or they have been stressed and are avoiding their usual spots out of fear.
The last time when Joey drove me into panic mode was back in April, when I found him catatonic and depressed. I rushed him to the nearest vet (iVet Clinic) the following morning for a checkup and treatment. He was treated for superficial bite marks, underwent a blood test and subcutaneous fluids.
That vet was more interested in checking his blood (she made more money from blood tests than treating bite wounds) and I gave in after some persuasion.
The good news was Joey's creatinine and urea levels were lower than in 2019-2020. He was classified as in Stage 2, which was a remarkable improvement over his Stage 4 condition. However I was confused when the vet commented that Joey was "overweight" at just 5.33 kilograms. Her vet technician who later briefed me was trying to sweet talk me into buying prescription weight loss kibble for Joey.
That's odd, because Joey had never been diagnosed as overweight in his entire life.
This was taken at the Gasing Veterinary Hospital, not the iVet Clinic.
I didn't send Joey to iVet because they refused to accept "emergency cases" after 6:00pm as the clinic closes by 7 o'clock. They asked me to send him to the Gasing Veterinary Hospital instead, much to my dismay.
More to come.
