WEll, rang 10 mins ago and they have put the cream on and are waiting for it to work - poor thing hasn't eaten since 8 last night, as she had to be prestarved (again). I know the main point of this test is for her kidney function, didn't realise they were to do with kidney issues as well. She is eating really well though (although she proved what she thought of normal cat food last night - she ignored the two bowls that were down despite being hungry through not having her tea), and her fur looks really shiny, she isn't vomiting, so I am hoping they are all good signs. |

WEll, they have taken the blood, and she is back home - I left some food and a plate out so my neighbour fed her for me, althoguh with the amount of other things sent to the lab the results are more than likely going to come back on Mon. Don't like waiting, will be on edge all weekend now. I do have to get my neighbour something nice though - he took me both times yesterday (and we were nearly an hour the second time), then he has taken her up and brought her home today, plus fed her. |

Well, I keep imagining the worse and getting myself worked up. I don't know if I want the results to be positive or negative - if they are positive, the vet might not want to refer her to the specialist, depending on what the results actually are, if they are negative, I have to again decide if I should go through with the specialist - I want to see him, but might not go through with the tests, so do have to decide if it is worth it. and if I do go through with it,it will be more waiting and emotional stuff to get through. She is quite clingy (although did nip me a couple of times last night when we were cuddling in bed - she did lick me before and afterwards though, but after the second nip I stopped her licking me), but I suppose that could just be going to the vets 3 times in 2 days, esp as she was taken by my neighbour the 3rd time, and had to stay there for a couple of hours. I am only feeding her wet food to try and help with the dehydration - not that she likes that idea much, she loves biscuits. |

Well, it looks like both her third eyelids are showing. I am hoping it is just cos she is dehydrated (although I still cant tell she is, I can only check the bit under her shoulder blades, there isn't enough flesh further down to check and she has been on wet food only since Fri). I am going to try and syringe some fluids into her, but don't anticipate it will go well as she hates her mouth being messed with. I dont think there is much point ringing the emergency vet as we are waiting for test results back. If she seems worse in the morning though, I will ring in sick and wizz her up, and hope that maybe the vet can push for the results, although she said they don't normally do them in the morning, so we would be looking at lunchtime anyway. |

I hate all this waiting around, if I can help it I don't have blood tests done at the end of the week for this reason!! If I had suspected she would want to take bloods, I wouldn't have fed Pebbles on Thurs morning, then they could have been done then and I would have had the results Fri lunch (my previous cat Snowy had a liver prob, so she was always starved before seeing the vet just in case, no wonder she didn't like going!!) - but she looked healthy to me, I could tell she had put weight on and her fur was shiny. Oh well, not long to go now, have given up with the housework, have only had a half hearted attempt at anything today, and am going to veg in front of the TV tonight, and hope a cat joins me!! |
