Do you mean a fructosamine test (which checks for the average blood glucose over the last two to three weeks)? They do those for you on a Sunday? Nice of them! Let us know how it goes!

Hey, Mal. Wondered where you disappeared to. I will be curious on what the test results are. I have never had a fructosamine test done on either cat... so I have no experience with them.

How is Tubby doing with the testing? Is he getting any better about it?

Wont know until tomorrow.
Do you HAVE to use blood from an ear or paw?

Those are the easiest places for us non-vet tech/non-vet type of people. Where were you thinking of getting it from?

Well be looking forward to hearing about your vet visit.

If you haven't already, and if you still have questions, you might post on the Health forum to get the attention of the vet techs who could answer them.
