about my big Fella Vinnie!!!
He went in to the vets for the day and for the first time in 9 months, he got superb test results back!!
Now I have been very strict with him, stuck religiously to his special diet for the last 8 weeks and it has certainly paid off.
He had a great PH level, hardly any crystals in his bladder and 100% kidney function.
He is only 3 years old, and by getting all these levels sorted, I have increased his expected life with me by about 4 years!
In 2 weeks time, he has a change of diet (first time in 9 months) and goes onto a prescribed maintenance food and biscuit combination.
He will then have another set of tests after 4 weeks of the revised diet, and if he continues to stay as well and healthy as he currently is, then he will only have to go in for testing every 6 months.
This is good news for him, and great news for me as it costs me £55 every time he goes in for these tests, plus all the trauma of him being at the vets for a day or two.
I am so pleased and so happy to know that he is well and as healthy as my other boy Scooter, it is such a great relief.
So, for all your cat lovers, here is my favourite photo of Vinnie Vinchento, my beautiful Big Fella!

Great news and a great photo ... I know how agonizing it can be waiting for results from the vets. Our old cat was on medication for her last two years and each visit to the vets was quite an emotional roller-coaster. It's good that diet can solve his problems ... keep those pictures coming he is such a poser!!
