Worried

I took Merlin for his blood tests today. He was in a right huff with me and I felt awful leaving him at the vets on his own. I started to think about all of his symptoms and started praying that he doesn't have kidney failure. He has all the symptoms (even started being sick lately... although that could be the change in food he has had).
I googled the condition and ended up in floods of tears, convinced that the blood tests are going to come back with the ultimate result of him having to be put to sleep. I don't think I could bare it! I have had some wonderful pets in my time, but Merlin is something else. Graeme even jokes that Merlin thinks I'm his wife and that I belong to him. It would be a crashing blow if it was time for him to go. :-(

On the plus side (and I can't believe I'm saying that this is a plus!) the symptoms are also the same for diabetes. That is controllable, so I'd rather he had that!

I phoned the vets an hour ago to hear he was just coming round from the sedation and was looking a bit groggy. I'm very very worried about him!
