I have been trying to convince myself that there's nothing going on with Milk. Unfortunately, I'm just not sure that's true. I weighed him this morning- you wouldn't think that just a few ounces (4!) would make a difference in his appearance, but he feels significantly more bony these days. And his ability to jump - already severely not-what-it-used-to-be -seems to have diminished. I can't decide if the problem is that his judgment of how high he needs to jump has become more impaired, or if he has some sort of rear leg weakness going on, or what. It will frequently take two or three tries to get up on the kitchen counter to get his pills. He always seems "surprised" when he falls, but gets back up and tries again.
He's scheduled for more bloodwork next week to check his medication levels. I want to be sure THIS time to have the vet do his in-office blood analysis just to check the liver functions. It's so traumatic to take him to the vet; I don't know if it's worth doing another bile acids test or not.
