Me, I am fine with budgeting on the pension but they eat $10 worth of Fancy Feast a day.

The Free Dental Checkup Which Cost $1200.

This week, (March 2023) I popped in to Feline Diabetes (our support group on Facebook) give an update on Splinter, who continues to thrive. Two weeks ago, he had a dental check up, scheduled for three months after his last vet visit for a blood test for his glucose etc
.
He definitely had a couple of bad teeth, which were already starting to interfere with his ability to chew up his chopped chicken livers. Since they were removed on the day of the checkup, ($1200 and thanks Centrelink for the loan, repayable at $100 fortnight) he is doing extremely well.

We are lucky that I detected the possibility of diabetes when he started losing weight and weeing way too much, way back in October 2022, because of the amount of water he drank. This is how we started here.
