Kai Ruki had a vet's appointment on Friday for his booster and check-up. He's been having a few problems lately, one being that he eats and eats and is losing weight. Another problem is that Kai Ruki washes obsessively, so much that he makes his skin sore and I have to spray him with Leucillin. The vet gave him a thorough check and said he could feel that he has a goiter, which is enlarged glands in his throat which can be an indication of hyperthyroidism. He said that Kai Ruki has lost half a kilo since last year and his heartbeat is quite fast. I told him that Kai Ruki's breathing has always been very fast too. the vet suggested a blood test there and then so I agreed to it. Kai Ruki was so good and allowed the vet to pick him up and take him in the next room and take some blood. The vet said he would phone me later with the results. When he phoned me I was shopping in Lidl supermarket. He said Kai Ruki doesn't need any medication yet as the test for hyperthyroidism was negative for now and his liver and kidneys are fine. He said he would keep an eye on him and I'm to have him reweighed in 2 months. I'm to do another flea treatment on him as he said he could see flea dirt even though I'd done fleas treatment 4 days earlier.
I've always told the vets that Kai Ruki eats lots and is very skinny but no vet has followed it up until this one. He's the new vet that has replaced the one that I really liked. He worked there before and went off somewhere else to work and I know that the other vets thought highly of him being so good at such a young age. I'm impressed but he didn't interact with Kai Ruki. I like a vet that talks to his patients.
