There’s a vet appointment for Melbcat today that I have to decide whether I’m going to keep. I’ll ring and ask.
spoiler
I might give it up for someone on the cancellation list because she’s just been and I’m mainly waiting to hear whether I can start giving antibiotics. I have some here.She needed extra pain relief last night so if results aren’t back soon I’ll probably just start what I have whether they say so or not. From the distinctive smell it possibly is one of those resistant nasty strains that usually do need the enro.
I already had to delay her with pain relief through Tuesday while I had my tooth pulled. She was seen Wednesday but I had the dr myself Thursday and was only able to get a sample that night, which left me taking the sample in Friday…
If that new guy had just done the cysto on Wednesday the results would be in sooner.
Edit: Nope, the vet will discuss the results today in consult. Guess after morning meds I’m scraping up the energy to shower and get ready. At least it’s one who’s seen us before.
I tidied a bit yesterday and did one load of laundry but there’s more to go then I have to wash the cups and sweep. Melbcat was sick in the wee hours this morning so I’ll soak that with enzyme cleaner.
My box of antibiotics with a few pills left has racked off into the ether so I’m just going to start the newest box. These are three times daily -_-
Between being careful of my sus tooth socket (which better not be getting infected) and my stomach starting to shut down again I can barely eat anything. My mental health is crumbling.
I’ve woken up tired.
Bee butt
Sending care and strength thoughts in your direction Melbs. May it go smoothly and may Melbcat respond quickly to the antibiotics and may you get some repreive soon.
Thanks. Hopefully this is just a rough patch!
