Well, when she spat at me this morning, I noticed that the she seems to have more black on her gums, so think I am going to get the vet to look at that before I ask to be referred to the specialist. My neighbour may be able to take me depending on when it is, but it might take an hour each way, so if she has to be left there for tests it might not be quite so easy, nor will repeat trips. |

HAve seen the vet, and she was more concerned about Pebbles general condition, and wants to do blood tests to check her kidney function is fine before she does anything else regarding her nose. She is apparently dehydrated (my vet says that a lot, and when I do the test I cant see that they are), although she has put a decent amount of weight on (from 3.95 to 4.13 in 9 days), and is the heaviest she has been. So, as I already had an app with the vet nurse tonight, she is going up then for her blood tests, as she had already eaten this morning. Please keep your fingers crossed. |

Cheers - I have had so many health issues to deal with with PEbbles that I can't help wondering if this is going to be something serious and am struggling to be positive about it. Her blood tests 6 months ago did show one of her levels was slightly raised and I think there was an issue with her protein, but as a urine sample showed the concentration was fine, it was left - my cats are blood tested yearly normally, so there was no recommendation about redoing them in a certain amount of time, this is just being done cos the vet isn't happy with how she looks. Someone has pointed out that it looks like her third eyelid is showing in the latest pic which could also be an indication that there is somethign not right. I just hope they can get the test results back tomorrow, I hate them being done at the end of the week and having to wait all weekend, especially when they are being done cos there is a possible sign of something, rather than just routine. |

Well, neither me nor Pebbles are very happy tonight. They had a couple of clients in making an awful decision tonight, so they took Pebbles into the back to save me waiting - unfortunately Pebbles didn't like that and after about 20 mins, they had to admit defeat - she was extremely stressed, so although she had a good vein, they decided not to continue. I did pass comment on the fact that it was the only time I have never been with my cat for a blood sample and the only time they failed. Fortunately Harold (my next door neighbour) had taken me up, as they want her back in the morning and I have a dentist app, so couldn't take her up myself. i am hoping that they manage fine tomorrow - if it is done early enough, it will be able to go with the courier and we could get results back tomorrow afternoon. The vet wanted a test that included electrolytes, not sure why, and it was the vet nurse who attempted the sample, so couldn't ask. |

I am sorry it didnt go well tonight! I hope it goes better tomorrow. The electrolyte test is used for testing kidney function, among others. Fingers crossed for you at the dentist as well! |
