Vita had to provide a urine sample for the vet today
So she spent the night in a bedroom by herself, with a clean litterbox and some "NO-SORB" in the box.
I checked this morning: nothing.
Waited a while and checked. Nothing. Now it's been 12 hours she's been in there. Sigh.
So I take her in to the vet's. They check her bladder is full but she's holding it and won't release. If they press any harder, they are afraid they will rupture it. So I approve a "cysto." They take a sample of what they need, using a syringe and inserting a needle into her bladder. They only take what they need, they don't empty the bladder.
On the drive home, she let go in her carrier. :rolleyes: So Vita and the carrier have had baths, everyone has what they need, and I'm $68.00 poorer. (That's for both the cysto AND the urinalysis.)
I guess I just needed to rant a bit.
