Default Duffy needs dental work

Nikki and Selina are doing well, but Duffy has not been eating right and has
lost weight. Based on estimates when I first adopted him, he is probably
15-16 years old now. I took him to the vet today, and the good news is that
all of his tests (blood work and urinalysis) except one are good. The one
abnormal result is that his protein level is too low. That is one of the
kidney functions, but all of the other kidney tests are normal. I learned
that he does need dental work, so I am giving him antibiotics twice a day
and will have the dental work done on Thursday. It's possible that his
teeth are bothering him, and that may explain why he has not been eating
enough.

Poor fella, it's no fun to have a toothache. Purrs for Duffy.
