A trip to the vet

Well one of my concerns about Sir Thomas is true,  He has gained no weight.  With the amount of food that is being given to this sweet boy, he should be about 50 pounds now.  He went for a day of "once overs" at the vet.  Deek Creek Vet Clinic supports All About Animals and is just an all around impressive vet facility.  I tried to convince him that he was going to a day at the spa, but somehow I think that attempt failed.  In his sweet way, though, he simply purred off his worries. 
I am sure he was poked and stuck and prodded ( as I had parent/teacher conferences - I felt the same happened to me : >).

 Not much information until his blood work comes back.  Here are some early thoughts from the vet, passed through the AAA guru, Dawn.  Perhaps thyroid issues, which actually would be a positive and easy to help.  In addition, the eye problem is most likely neurological and permanent.   My favorite comment, because it is so true, was they tried to get a heart rate but couldn't because they couldn't stop him from purring.  No matter what, he is a purrrrring machine. 

AAA supports Thomas and if you would like to make a donation to them to help support Thomas and other cats like him here is the link - http://allaboutanimalsaz.com/Donate.aspx 
Please pass along this blog, I would like to see more people following his long road to health and happiness.
