The cats are all great, they were wonderful for the vet for all of the checkup shots and nail trims. Sassy has made it to be a cute little 6lb girl,the boys weight is good for their size. Krystel is good she has some vision issues but that is normal for her age. The other problems she has ben having are age and her allergies are bother her more. Max was such a good boy for them he is still out of sorts and sleepy. The X-rays were not what we were hoping for his hips are getting worst and they did an X-ray of his back and found he also has issue with it. This was not the news we wanted to hear, he is just over 1 1/2 yrs old. we just learned that even if we were to do a full hip replacement he is likely to still have problems due to his back. It's sad news for us but he will have the best life we can give him for as long as he can live and be mostly pain free.

Squeaky, I'm glad to hear that  your cats are all in good health.  I am so sorry to hear about Max's issues with his hip and back.   I will keep him in my daily prayers.

All the best,

I'm sorry also to hear about Max's issues. I certainly hope he can continue to have a good quality of life for as long as possible. Very glad to hear that all the cats are doing so well! Thanks for the update. It must be quite a task getting them all into the vet together!

We made a day out of going to the vets office. We started at 8am with Max, then had 1:30 for Krystal. We finished off the day with the 4:00 for the cats and to pick up Max. By doing it all in one day we get a nice break on the bill. 

We will care for Max and try and give him the best life we can. At least we know we could be in for a rough ride with him in a few years. DH will have the plans for a doggie cart and be ready to build one if we need to. The down side is we will have to put in a stair gate that is 80 lb proof so Max can't fall down the stairs. The up side is YDD wants to be a vet and the best place for surgery will be the school she wants to go to.

I wish you had gotten better news for Max.  Poor fella. :( But it sounds like you've got some plans in place for taking care of him.  Kudos to you and your dh.
