Vet trip

[kyetsu]

I got to spend Christmas Eve taking Felix to the vet. Fun times, they were. The result?

He's fat. And he has a heart murmur. ¬_¬

I knew he was overwieght, but at least he's not as bad as I thought. They gave me some advice on how to better monitor his food intake, and some tips for getting him a little more active, and hopefully he'll shed a few

Jess has enough cheer and energy for an entire army of furries; It's always wonderful to spend the holidays with good friends...

Hopefully where Felix is concerned, shedding a few pounds might go to help keep his murmur from becoming more severe. Here's hoping.

*Many happy pony hugs*

The vet told me that his murmur might be a combination of his weight and age. He'll be 8 years old next month, which isn't old by any means, but he's not a kitten anymore, either. He's right at that age where I should start concerning myself about his heath when he does get older, so he'll have the longest, healthiest life I can provide for him. =3

They said that it's also possible that it was caused/made more noticable by him being freaked out at the vet. Either way, it's at "Monitor closely" status, as opposed to "Holy crap he has health issues" status. =D

My doctor told me that I have far too much cheer and if I don't spread it to others than it'll clog my arteries and make my heart explode. =D

I saved your life by receiving your cheer. That's how I roll. =D
