Shaved leg............and neck?

His shaved paw.

He's still cautious because we took him to the vet .

So it was incredible difficult to photograph his neck.....

No time to focus......

This is the best I could do.

We had to go to the vet because we needed a sample of Sils blood.

In december it looked like Sil wasn't making it much longer.
He lost a lot of weight, you could feel his spinal bones way too good and he was shivering a lot.
This problem occurs every winter because of the temperature drop.
We don't let him go outside during the coldest period.
Sil has never been fat so he has little (fat)reserve and his furry (mediterenean) coat is too thin to keep him warm.
 This winter it got worse than ever so we went to the vet.
Because of his age it was likely to be caused by his kidneys or diabetes.
But the blood results told us his thyroid was working way to fast. So he wasn't able to eat and drink enough.
So we tried some pils. It had an immediate effect on him.
He was eating better, gained some weight back and was more lifely. We are still very grateful to our vet!

Now we had to check again how we are doing right now so Sil was anaesthetized again to be able to take some blood.
Now we just have to wait for the blood test result.........
