Duchess had ONLY a bad infection!

[cjsmith]

Duchess lab report is back: not cancerous!! It was tissue that had sloughed away and it was FULL of bacteria. About 4 days after finishing this course of antibiotics, we should do a urinalysis to make sure the infection is gone.

Phew. :-)

Yes indeed - what a relief!

[gdmusumeci.livejournal.com]

Yay! That's lovely news. :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I didn't think I felt worried before, but (surprise!) I feel a LOT better now. Funny how that works. :-)

*cheer*

I was so hoping. Poor baby, what a thing to have to pee!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I know, doesn't that seem awful? I didn't think something that size could pass that way!

[tshuma]

Excellent news!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm soooooo relieved!

Yay!

Bad bacterial infections can be hell, but they're treatable.
Yay! again!

Re: Yay!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Three cheers for antibiotics! I am so glad I was born in a time AFTER those were invented/discovered.

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Yay! Phew indeed. :-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Definitely!

[hnybny.livejournal.com]

How often can we be immensely happy having a bacterial infection? This is one of those times.

YAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYAY!!!

I'm so glad for you!

Oh, and Cato is doing quite well, healing nicely and really getting back to his old self.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

No kidding! I am so glad I live in a time AFTER antibiotics have come into common use.

YAY for Cato! That's good to hear. It's amazing how quickly an animal will heal after surgery, isn't it?

[deedeebythebay.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! What a relief. *hugs* Two good kitty newses in one 24 hour period!!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed! I was soooooooooo happy to hear about Solveig!

[lkeele.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank GOD!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

PHEW! I didn't really think I was stressed before, but I sure feel better now. :-)

[joedecker.livejournal.com]

Oh thank goodness!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved! I hadn't been aware I was worrying, but I feel better now.

*happy dance*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Dance of kitty AND kitty's-human happiness! ;-)

[meows-r-us.livejournal.com]

What a huge relief. I find it strange that I don't know you all that well and I don't know your cat but I was rather worried for you and your cat. :o)

It is great to know that Duchess is going to be okay!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Isn't that funny? I, too, get concerned about the cats of virtual strangers on the Internet. I have a major soft spot for cats.

[ohhjuliet.livejournal.com]

Hooray Duchess!

*hug* to you both.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I return the *hug* and Duchess asks for hers to come in the form of ear-scritches. :-)

[kimatha.livejournal.com]

Hooray! That's great news!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I didn't know I was all that stressed, but I'm definitely relieved now.

[portia.livejournal.com]

Yay! That is excellent news! So happy for you both!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm sooooooo relieved. Phew!

[sharya.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad for both of you!

It's amazing how those little furry creatures can worm their way into our hearts :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They sure can. I adore my kitties.

[rampling.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, phew, phew, phew!!! So glad to hear that's all it is! What a relief!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I think I was deluding myself that I wasn't worried. HA. :)

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! I hope she continues to recover well :-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! If an infection is all it is, it's simple and she'll recover easily. PHEW.

[dizzdvl.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to get kitty drinking cranberry juice!

Give her lots and lots of ear skritchies! Did they suggest low ash kitty food? Mine wouldn't eat it, but she doesn't mind Iams kidney care stuff.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved!

They haven't suggested any dietary modifications yet. (I suspect they have decided I am a bad kittymom and have very dirty litterboxes.) I'll see what they tell me about diet at the follow-up...

[dawnmipb.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! What a relief!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I had kidded myself that I wasn't stressed, but now I know better. :-) PHEW!

[firecat]

I'm glad Duchess is on the mend!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks. So am I! I didn't know how relieved I would be with this path lab report.

Whew!

[spindle-rose.livejournal.com]

So happy to hear that she'll feel better soon. And that she'll probably make a full recovery. Give her a little extra love from her "aunt" rm.

Re: Whew!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Extra scritches from you, coming right up! :-)
