I am scheduling Baby (a 4 or 5yo adopted female sable) for a geriatric exam. She's a real sensitive and lovey little soul, so I thought she was just depressed by losing her second home and by being terrorized by Eloise and Sabine. She checked out okay in a regular exam when I first got her a couple months ago. I'm sure the vet palpated her spleen. Now I'm not so sure about her health - in fact, I worry about her. She lost weight, but she did have her winter fat and coat when she came, besides being out of shape. But she sleeps more and more. I give her a tablespoon of Sustacal every day as a treat, but her energy level has only decreased. Question: What should her exam include besides the complete blood cell count and the fasting glucose? X-ray for her heart? Anything else? Could anyone with experience with middle-aged lady ferts please respond before Friday? Many thanks Judith White Eloise, Sabine, Bizzy, Baby, and Jake [Posted in FML issue 1591]
