well, mister is off to the vets in the morning  :boooo: I prob won’t sleep feeling bad and dreading results  :-\ how do they give results for kidneys? Is it a number / range or just good / bad news?

Would think they will tell you if the kidneys are working well or not.
If there is a slight problem then it’s best caught early. Probably be pills and a change in diet if there is anything wrong. May just be crystals or a mild infection or maybe he just got fed up with you nagging him to drink so decided to drink more.
(((hugs))) and :-* :-* :-* to you and Fritz, let us know how you get on. :ok:

We were ALWAYS told as kids if you are out somewhere you were expected to be on your best behaviour :yes: As you are both school teachers perhaps Fritz thinks you expect the same from him :whistle: ;D

Ok, spoke to the vet today…
Parvo is fine Adenovirus (?) is fine
They said distemper might be too low to be protective.. they want to booster  ???
They said they’d see if there is a single vacc for that rather than having to have some kind of combination, but I suspect they will want to give him a combo job  :-\

They also wanted us to start treating him monthly for lungworm  ??? as there is an increase of it in london Can’t remember the name of the medication Anc something?

His PH is 5.5 which they say is slightly high…. no cultures or crystals

What do you reckon to that lot?  :-\
