Oscar needs a vet checkup, badly. Tonight he started acting kind of weird (for one, he jumped up in the fridge and did NOT want to come out) and I said to myself  “whatever, buddy’s just having an off day.” But when he hopped up on the bed and came near my face….oh lort, the smell. His breath is RANK. This just started tonight. His breath is usually standard fishy cat breath, but tonight…he wasn’t even facing me and I was smelling it really strong. What really scared me was that I perceived that it smelled kind of sickly-sweet and that is a sign of chronic kidney disease in cats. I can’t describe how this is freaking me out. I just want him to live a long, happy life. Maybe I’m paranoid and smelling it wrong? He’s going as soon as I can get him an appointment.
