Some good news......Atlas CBC came back normal. Yeah! Every thing was in normal range except hemoglobin, but the vet said he's just a little dehydrated. Looks like a few more temptations with ice cream are in order. We took him to our local vet which is only 10 minutes and all his peeps were there to see him and were so amazed at how well Atlas is doing. He did his normal routine and went in to get on the scale for me, but it was so close to the wall he found it difficult to maneuver this time so he sat half off the scale. Doc went straight to physically put him on there and Atlas immediately manned his battle stations. This time I spoke up and said, wait, stop. I lead Atlas in a half circle, asked the hovering vet tech to his right (preferred direction now) to give us space and Doc pushed the scale out from the wall and we did the have circle and he walked right onto the scale at sat down. I'm learning..... atlas is a little clostraphobic post amp and he likes to turn to the right (obvious reasons). Also learned that people naturally want to move in on him to "help" him which he deems unsettling and unnecessary. He has never been man-handled in his life so he reacts very poorly to anyone physically trying to "help" him. As long as mom can clear my path, he says he can do it!
