Thanks everyone!
Well... The vet did say he looks really good for being 16YO! He's going to run bloodwork and a urinalysis to see where he stands, and if we can do anything about it. He'll call me either tomorrow or Thursday to let me know what, if anything, is going on with him.
I forgot to mention here that he eats like a horse, and I increased his feed times from 2 to 3 times a day to try to keep some weight on him (about 3 months ago), and increased the amount and types of treats he gets. He has a bit of a fat layer under the skin on his back, but I can still feel his ribs, and he's got some muscle loss due to his aging. He's active and loves to go for walks, and he is aware and alert most of the time.
'The Girls' mugged him when we got home... they sniffed him everywhere and were looking at me like 'Hey, how come we didn't get to go?' Too funny... but I think he liked being missed.
I'll update again when I get that phone call.... |
