Sorry for not updating quicker, I am having a really hard time with the news from the Vet (or lack of news).
They are doing a full blood and urine screen on Avery, I should have the results on Monday. The big concern is Avery has lost almost 3 pounds since January. I knew there was a problem on Thursday evening when I was petting his back and I could feel his spine. I should add that Avery has been on a diet for two years and was suppose to lose 6 lbs, he has done really well and was averaging about 1.5 lbs a year so when I heard 2 lbs in 4 months I just lost it.
The vet examined his eyes (with movement and then turning the lights out to make sure they dilated), everything seems fine with his sight. They also did an ultra sound on him and everything internally appears to be okay. No lumps or bumps on him, just losing weight like crazy.
The Vet sent Avery home with me since she agrees he does not seem to be in pain (and they know Avery is only truly happy when he is with me and at home).
Please keep Avery in your prayers, I can only hope this is part of the natural aging process and not something horrible that the Vet said they wanted to test for (Renal Failure, Cancer).
