Remember last year at this time how I was running back and forth to Dr. Lee's w/Yodie b/c she had another ear polyp removed and then got MRSA, how she pulled her sutures out twice and had to wear a collar for over two months, and how Pidgie was sick at the same time and died two days before Christmas? Sigh. I'm concerned that Yodie might be having problems again.
She was sleeping on my bed and I looked at her closely and saw a scab where her sutures were a year ago. There shouldn't be a scab there. I sure hope she doesn't have MRSA again. Dr. Lee is working minimal hours during the holidays, the roads are awful here b/c we've had blizzard conditions, the temp is 12 right now and my finances are really stretched b/c of medical bills of my own that my lovely ins. co. only partially paid. If I absolutely have to, I'll take her in but I'd want Dr. Lee to see her b/c he's the one who treated her before.
I'm rambling, sorry. It's just that this seems to happen every flippin' holiday season!
ETA: I found all the meds that I gave her last year and Dr. Lee will probably prescribe them anyhow, so I'm going to start her on them and see how she does. He believes, as do I, that meds far outlast their expiration dates, so I feel ok w/giving them to her. If she doesn't improve, off she goes to see Dr. Lee if he's in.
