Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

Yesterday we took Sushi to see the vet because he's been losing weight recently. He is 13 years old so it's never really a great sign. The poor little guy was nervous and his paws were sweating and his heart beat was too high to even count. He wasn't thrilled with the temperature check and then he was really upset when he had blood taken from his front leg. He actually wanted to get back into the cat carrier that he couldn't wait to run out of minutes before.

Now it's the waiting game as the tests are run. He either has a thyroid problem that is easy enough to treat or it's something much more serious related to his liver. A liver problem is likely to be very bad news. We really hope that it's the thyroid but we won't know for a few more days. Meanwhile, we're crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.
