Took Spot (Senior Cat of the Household) to the vet today for his jabs and to have a general checkover since he seems to have lost weight and his coat's a bit scraggly lately.
The vet says a couple of his teeth need to come out because they're broken off and he may have arthritic joints as well, poor old chap. So the teeth are coming out this afternoon and I have to go and collect him between 5 and 6.
Apparently the only way to tell if he has arthritis is to give him painkillers and see if he improves, so that's what's going to happen there, and the vet wants me to change his food as well.
It's going to cost about £150 (ouch) but hopefully it'll do him good and make him feel much more his old self.
