I took Jax to the vet because of his weight loss and I thought he had a couple bad teeth that might be giving him trouble eating. The vet ran all his blood work and said things looked good for his age. We scheduled to have 2 teeth removed thinking they were bad. It turned out that they just needed cleaned. He still has all his teeth! When doing his teeth they ran more blood work and said his liver enzymes were a little high and put him on meds. After 30 days he had more bloodwork to check enzymes. Said they were a little higher but that based on his age that was standard and to continue his meds.

Two weeks later (on a sunday) I noticed a sore on his back-end and did some research online ( should never do that..lol) and thought it was an anal glad infection so I made another vet appt on Monday. Took him in and vet said anal glands were good! It was a small absess that had already opened and basically cleared itself. Gave Jax a pain shot and pain meds to take home. He also put him on an antibiotics to ensure there was no infection and an antibacterial spray to clean the area. After the past few days the sore looks better and he is acting like his old self.

He is back to eating and slowly putting on a little weight. Don't think he will ever be a 20lb cat again but looks better. Guess we finally found the right combo of food he wants and teeth better. Hopefully we stay on track for awhile.
