Took Helga in to be weight checked today- she is.......6.14kgs.  She is also feeling much better, she's started to play in the evening with a mouse on a string and has turned into a really lovely girl. |

Amazing what the weight loss can do! She looks like such a sweet cat. |

I took Pudding in today for a weight check and a quick look over. She often looks a bit out of it and can sometimes be a bit wobbly when jumping up onto things. She has put on the weight she lost when she had the fluey turn ( back up to 2.8kgs) and the vet can't find any thing obvious, except that her eyes are a bit dilated and starey. We are going to book her in for a blood pressure check, just in case, although he did wonder if the wobbles were cause by muscle loss and age. Still I would pefer to check things out before assuming that. |

Good about Pudding's weight gain. Fingers crossed that her blood pressure will be OK. How does the vet check for blood pressure? |

It's pretty much the same as they do for humans Angie. They put a small cuff around the leg and inflate/deflate it. Quick, painless and with minimum dicomfort. Hope all goes well for Pud' xxx |

Yes, is just like a human, although it can be difficult for the vet to find the pulse, especially when the cat gets fed up waiting. |
