Cornelius went to the vet yesterday.   Jenn noticed he was quite sluggish yesterday so I immediately made an appt at the local vet.  I was off of work at 2:30.  The vet appt was at 5 pm.  We got there at 4:30 and proceed to wait over an hour to see the vet.  It was the longest appt to see a vet I have ever experienced.  I was seriously on the verge of falling asleep there - after having to take Alex to the airport at - then work and then taking Corney to the dr. 

I had to wait over an hour...my appt was 5 we didnt get in until almost 5:45.  I find out Cornelius is 18.2 lbs.  This is a shock as everyone thinks he is bigger than that.  But nope. 18.2 it is...and the vet said he is at most 2 lbs overweight.  She said it is not that bad.   Then we get to the crux - his lymph nodes are swollen.  She listens to his heart - A-ok. then she glances at his teeth.  And it is here that we think we found the culprit. He has gingivitis and tartar build up.

He gets a shot of antibiotics, some take home meds and on Sunday I take him back for kitty surgery.  They will draw blood, clean his teeth and hopefully once he feels better get his vaccinations.

Poor Cornelius he will not be a happy camper on Sunday.
