Figure it is safe to post an update here about Maggy without upsetting anyone over in Chit Chat.
I have spent $415 on vet bills and prescriptions this past week. X-rays show no problems other than ar
thritis in her lower spine which has probably been bothering her lately. Blood tests were good in all areas except for kidney function

which is pretty common for cats her age (16).
So now she'll be on a prescription food for cats with renal disease. It may slow the progression to where we might have another few years together (best case), or we may only have a few months (worse case).
I bought a new toy with cap nip in it and she's loving it.
