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.

It's nearly 4:30 and they have yet to get a sample. They won't begin treatment of any kind without a urine sample. They're going to try again at 4:30.

Right now I'm hoping they don't get a sample. I will then take her home and bring her to Mid-Peninsula Emergency, where someone competent will deal with her. They may catheterize if they need a sample so badly. They may start treatment without. Either way she will get help. If on the other hand this vet DOES get a sample in a minute or two, I will feel honor-bound to continue her treatment there, because that'll be faster for the cat than starting over somewhere else.

But I'm definitely not ever taking a cat to this vet again.

What's up with your vet? Do you need to open a can of whup-ass?

Well, when Cato was in the vet for three days they actually had a sign up above his cage that read "My tail hurts, I WILL bite you." Problem is they never actually looked at the wounds on his tail and now we're worried the last inch and a half may have to be removed. G just came and told me he talked to his vet and we've rescheduled to Monday to make sure she is the on looking at him. We are peeved, very peeved.

Oh fer cryin' out loud. The poor guy's trying to give the humans a message and what do they do for him? Sheesh. And to let it get to the point where he might have to have body parts removed? I'd be pretty darn peeved too! Holy moly.

We shaved the fur off the end of his tail tonight in a thin strip. Its as hard a a rock and when I pinched it between my fingernails, he didn't flinch.

Owie. So he has some scar tissue, or dead tissue, or something there. Poor guy! I hope he can heal up properly!! Keep me posted when you hear anything on Monday?

I will, thank you. I'll be checking your blog for Duchess updates.
