SCM,took Chico to the vet..
My vet had gone fishing(LOL)so it was a very nice female vet instead.
She thought Chico had beautiful teeth,not any sign of tartar,so,he is a Poster-Cat for canned food and she agreed,at 14 yrs old,he has never had his teeth cleaned. She was 100% against feeding a cat kibbles She looked at the earlier results of his bloodwork(done end of April)and noted his T4 was 38,so it's on the higher end of normal. The browning of his fur,could possibly be from that,but she was not too concerned about it,his little white hairs everywhere were from old age. So,I'll be checking his weight and have another bloodtest in a couple of months.

What more could be expected other than a super healthy kitty with a mum like you?
Glad to hear he is doing well

Glad that Chico's test results were so good!
And I think, given that you have a new camera, and Chico has such beautiful pearly whites, we need some more pics of his stunning smile, pls!

Thank's everyone
Hazel,Chico does not smile much,he just gives kisses,he is the suckiest,clingiest cat I have ever had SCM,do you think Chico would benefit from the Free T4 test,rather than the regular T4?? The vet said it's more expensive,I did not ask how much more,if it's $500 I have to stick with the regular T4,at least for now.. He shows none of the symptoms Rocky had..but his was discovered late. I could feel Chicos thyroid,it's about the size of a pea,Rockys was huge..

Yes,thank's SCM
Chico has lost some weight,he weighed about 16lb's in 2008,today he was about 14lb's. Rocky(I still miss him) lost weight rapidly,although he ate like a fiend and was constantly drinking,Chico does neither. So what I'll do,I'll wait a bit and if the vet wants to do the Free T4 and the regular T4,I'll have it done. When he had all the test when they were both sick,my regular vet saw no problem with his T4 number.
