Default Took Nikki to the vet today

Nikki has been showing some signs of declining health. Most recently falling over a couple of times, confusion and hair loss. The vet feels his falling over is from his bad LP in both legs. It seems when the left one pops out it freaks him out and he falls over. He seems to get it back in place pretty quickly. He also has cataracts in both eyes now so is only seeing shadows and movement. She didn't feel he had any neurological issues. She is sending out a more comprehensive blood panel and checking for thyroid for his hair loss. Heart and lungs are fine. So I will see what the test results say. His bloodwork from 2 months ago was normal except for his BUN was elevated and he is on KD diet for that. I mainly wanted to get him checked out before I leave town Saturday and leave him with my daughter. Hopefully, he will be fine. Thanks
