Poor girl!
She peed the bed again. She was drinking water all morning. It seemed inevitable. But when I tried to interrupt and discourage her, she just fell over and laid there like she was in some kind of pain. If I wanted to clean her nose, her whiskers, hold her paws, rub her belly, all those touchy touchy things, that would have been the time to do it. She was alarmingly reluctant to move. She has recovered from this startling episode. Though she’s moving so slowly and weakly and spills about half the time when she jumps down. Though she was like that before this episode too. This is not to say that the episode marks a new leg down. Only a scary moment in what’s already been a low weekend for her.
I had to start her on something for her UTI. I haven’t been to the vet’s office and I know breakfasts are easier to get medicine into than daytime meals. So I crushed a quarter marbofloxacin into her second breakfast. She made faces and flung food. But I’m certain she took her medicine
Since both my pillow and my blanket got peed on last night, you can imagine how well I slept. I think I’m going to take the morning off work to do cleanup and run some cat errands (vet office but also see if there’s a juniper berry supplement I can pick up for Krista.).
I need to talk to the vet tonight. Hopefully before Krista’s pred dose. I’m torn between wanting to skip tonight and double her up to 5 every other day from tomorrow. Or we double up tonight and skip alternate days from tomorrow. I imagine the latter, while initially more jarring tonight, may actually be better for her with any pain, inflammation, or discomfort from her infection. Whereas I imagine the former being a long haul of watching her go without medicine she’s been taking every day for six months until I start her on the new schedule.
And still so many other questions for the vet...
