Got in late last night after a long trip back to the south. I am so sore from just sitting in that car! it was 11 hours in that car to get home...
Rie called me about 5 pm yesterday, she was at my house and was really concerned about Boo. There was blood all in the chair she was laying in and blood on her rear end, she had called the vet and made an appointment to bring her in the first thing this morning. I told her to forget the appointment and take her down there to leave her overnight or I would be up all night worried to death and trying to find a emergency vet to take her too..
I picked her up this morning. She had a abscess on her hind shank, close to her private parts and it just ruptured and that was the reason for all the blood in the chair. He cleaned it and got what he could out of it and said it will continue to bleed and drain, gave me some antibiotics for her and for me to just watch it.. I asked him about doing some blood work on her due to her age (she will be 15 this year) and we are doing that, the extensive test that checks everything that he said he recommend on senior cats. It will take several days to get the results back on that. She is home and rather cranky, I can tell that place bothers her when she walks but hopefully that will ease up in a day or so?
The other girls were SO happy to see me, Samantha is sitting on the keyboard tray watching every move I make right now. She has followed every step I have made since I got in last night. They have all had lap and love time last night and this morning. Samantha and Amy kept me company in bed all night but I sure missed Boo not being there too.. Giz makes sure she gets her attention and loving although she has not slept with me since she was young..
We had a great trip out but it was SO hot for those guys that I worried about them. I don't think I have ever seen it as hot as it was that trip. We got off up in the shipyard, a 4 day stay in the shipyard had turned into a 10 day stay... clutches, wheels and a leak from the water tank into the fuel tank plus other stuff..
