I know everyone is tired of hearing about my little Sadie. But this is my journal and I want to talk about her from time to time so if you don't like it tough!
I took Sadie back to the vet today. I could tell something was wrong. She just wasn't acting like a kitten.
Anyways she has lost about 4 ounces which doesn't seem like alot in human terms but in kitten terms it is enough to be worried about. Dr B ran some more blood tests ~~ Feline Leukemia (the second time for this) and Feline AIDS (not the same has people AIDS) ~~ both showed up negative. That is so incredibley good I could shout.
So he is thinking she has a "chronic infection" and needs to be on different meds.
Great. More meds. Don't get me wrong I will give her meds until she is well or for the rest of her life if need be: however it is a real strugle getting meds into her. The last was a liquid she got 2 times a day. I had her wrapped up in a towel and she would still manage to get away from me. This new med is a liquid also, but it doesn't taste good. Or so I have been told. Dr B said that he has tasted it and didn't like it. If I keep it refridgerated it MAY make it taste a little better. Can't wait to give it to her for the first time tomorrow.
Dr B is such a great vet. He also has taken a liking to my little sweetie. Yep he picks her up loves her tells her how beautiful she is. AND the BEST part -- he keeps giving me a break on his bill.
Today he did 2 different blood test, trimmed her nails, gave her a shot and sent some meds home with me. Oh, and there should be an office visit charge in there also. He ONLY charged me for the shot and the meds. Yes I walked out paying only $18. Can you believe it? The other vets there ALWAYS charge for every little thing they do PLUS the office visit charge.
