Mindy's (and my) rough day at the vet
Yesterday, I took Mindy to work to get her checked out, because she vomited the day before, and then she quit eating.
I let another technician hold her for a blood draw, because I didn't want Mindy to feel my concern. I had my back turned to them. Next thing I knew, that cat turned into a Tasmanian devil, screaming and up in the air.:eek: The tech wasn't able to hold her, I jumped in to get her so she wouldn't fall of the table.
In the process, she sliced my hand open, and still got away. I finally had her in a corner, and I think she recognized me. She let me pick her up and get her back in the kennel. By that time I was in tears because I was so scared that she had been hurt. Luckily, she was fine, and a few minutes later, she back to her purring self.
I have never seen her like that, and needless to say that from now on I will hold my own cats.
Mindy's bloodwork is fine, so I still don't know what's going on. She eats, but very slowly, and she is subdued, not her bouncy self.:(
Maybe it is a pain issue, which could explain her erratic behavior. She's 10 yrs old, and she could have arthritis.
I'll have to watch her, and then figure out a plan.
