She's home now. Very happy to be home actually. She rubbed against everything, ran to the litter box and used it, then ran to her food dish and demanded food. I had to pick her up and cuddle her first, she was completely ignoring me!
Dr. Worb is going to call me and discuss the lab values. In a nut shell:
1. No UTI detected. They took the urine directly from her bladder and only found 1 red blood cell.
2. Her kidney function levels are up a little. Not sure by how much at this point. He didn't sound too concerned though.
3. She is hyperthyroid. Not sure is the values are the same in the USA, but he said "67" and he gets concerned with an older cat who has a value of 58. So I have to give her 1/2 of a thyroid pill every morning in addition to her amlodipine (Norvasc).
I have to take her back in about 2 weeks for another T4 level to check her levels while on the pills. If needed, he will adjust the tapazol dosage then. He wants to start off conservatively. Her wait is down just a smidge. She had been 4.78 kg, now she's 4.64 kg (2.2 pounds per kg), so that could account for her drop in weight.
Next month I'm taking Abby in for her senior panel and a dental the following month.
