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 |
Youve been busy at the vets office lately with Cali and Nikki. I will keep Nikki in my good thoughts and prayers that everything checks out okay. |
Sending prayes for Nikki. |
Awww poor Nikki. How old is he? |
I will be praying for Nikki |
I'm keeping you and Nikki in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs to you both too!! |
You know Nikki has a special place in my heart ever since the threads of Carol and the visits to the nursing home. I will pray that he gets better soon. |
I am sorry to hear about Nikki's health issues. He is a cute little guy. Sending prayers your way. :animal-pa |
Bless his little heart. I hope his tests come out well. |
Sending prayers for Nikki |
Nikki is about 17, Patti? He is so incredibly lucky to have you in his life to give him all this wonderful care. I'm sending lots of prayers for his continued good health. Hugs for you both, Bonny |
Thanks everyone. Yes Nikki is estimated to be at least 17 years old. The vet also said he had scar tissue in his ears from what you felt were previous hematomas. I always wonder what his prior life was like. Probably not good from the condition he was found in. I just want him to live out the rest of his life being loved and cared for. |
Patti, best of luck and hope he feels better. He is in great hands |
Nikki is definitely in good and loving hands. The senior years can be difficult. I recall you posted pictures when Nikki first came to live with you and one of your girls seemed to stick by Nikki on his blanket when you had your whole gang outside. Was that Cali? Is Nikki still growing closer to the girls and snuggling? |
Sending good thoughts and prayers over to Nikki! And praying for you to have strength to deal with his health issues. Hope Nikki will be able to feel a better, I know he is in good hands and is loved! |
