Duchess is in

[cjsmith]

I have no idea why my vet said to confine her to a room without a litterbox. She is way past the stage of caring whether there's a litterbox around. I found her sitting in her own puddle. My poor girl. She is usually so clean and tidy. She's not even trying now.

But she's in at the vet's as of eight this morning, where they'll watch her for a sample. Fingers crossed.

Oh, CJ! Poor little Duchess! I'm so glad they finally took her -- maybe now they'll be able to find the problem and treat her.

After this is over, consider changing to a vet who seems more concerned about their patients than this one does. Call a few in the area and tell them you're considering using them, and then describe the problem Duchess had up to this point and ask how they would treat it. When you find one that sounds more pro-active and more sympathetic and concerned, switch.

Right! I think these folks are perfectly competent, but I do need a place that's open more of the time (skip a day because they close early? um, this cat's in pain) and it would be convenient if the place were a lot closer to my house.
