Just home and had a cuppa, trying to reduce my blood pressure a bit!
Mallow was in early stasis, temp low, gut sounds quiet and dull. She has been given all the usual meds, is warm inside on a snuggle pad and I have to give her some sub cut fluids.
Mike didn't get home in time to take either of the cats to the vet, so I had to book an appointment at the main branch for 11.30, I discussed it with the vet and he said he was happy to given a convenia injection for Donald without seeing him, because it's his usual problem. I got home at 11ish, set Mallow up in a cage, got Pudding and Sooty in carriers and headed off for their appointment. Of course I was running late so all junctions were busy as were the normally quiet roads. So I was 10 mins late.
Blood pressure was sky high by this time as I was sure Pudding's kidneys had packed in, and after examining her the vet suspected it too. We took bloods and ran them while ge examined Sooty, he has lost more weight, so we did fu
ll bloods for him but the vet's first thoughts were to worm him- the were wormed 4 months ago but haven't been outside much so I wasn't thinking it would be a problem. Ended up in tears over Pudding as she got very stressed.
Pudding's bloods were no worse than before but did indicate an infection, Sooty's bloods were also fine but indicated a parasitic burden.
So after all that panic, I left the vet smiling with a wormer for Sooty, an antibiotic in Pudding and one to give Donald. I've also got sub cut fluids for Mallow and both Katy and Betsy are eating and pooping.
I on the other hand am completely exhausted, my back is aching and I'm scared to look at my vet bill for this month!!!!:lol
Still I have fantastic vets, so worth every penny!
