Last post had a lot of good things going for it. This post is bit of a downer.
PounceQuick the Playful is sick. I took him to the vet today, and discovered that he had a fever. Cats' regular temperature is between 100-102. Pounce was at 104.8. The vet is running some bloodwork, and gave him a shot of antibiotics for the fever. The results of the bloodwork and tests should be in tomorrow. In the meantime, that put $300 back on the card I just paid off, and PounceQuick is worrying me very much. He won't eat, he won't drink. He won't pee, he barely walks. He's obviously dehydrated, but when I put him in front of his water bowl or food, he rears back from it, like it makes him nauseous. He won't even eat the canned food he loves so much, or chicken broth, or canned tuna. :'( I'm scared I'm going to lose him.
Hopefully, next week I'll be writing a post all about how much better he is, back to his old self and annoying me. ...
I've also scheduled an appointment to go back to the psychiatrist. I told her I want to talk about any non-med treatments, but I think the main focus this week is going to be anxiety.
Work is still going well. *thumbs up* I'm also working from home a few hours a week for an iphone app. Also studying for LOMA. I'm going to do that when I finish this post, until Ben gets here. He's so nice, coming over when I'm all concerned about PounceQuick...
