Recently, my beloved cat, Panda, of almost 19 years took a turn for the worse. He's been on thyroid medicine for some time now but has been doing alright. Never a big eater, about 2 weeks ago, he began dropping weight and became very lethargic. I brought him in to Dr. Gerald Johnson, truly believing that I was going to have to make a very hard decision and put him down. Dr. J was very optimistic and started giving Panda fluids and put him on antibotics. He then gave him something to stimulate his appetite. He's been doing much better the past 4 days, now eating on his own and has gained 6 ounces back. I'm not sure how much longer I will have Panda with me, but I am very grateful for Dr. J giving me more time with him. Panda is coming back home with me this weekend! I just want to add that everyone at the hospital has been great. They are always helpful and have gone out of their way to help me and Panda. I will always be grateful for everyone's help and caring.
