Needing Positive Thoughts For Nakita's Test Results

Well, yesterday I took Nakita to the vet for her yearly exam. I had to go to a new vet this year because I was less than impressed with the last place.

The good news is that this vet is really nice, will allow me to get the rabies shot every other year, and there are 4 vets to choose from. They even will allow you to watch the surgery being done on your pet through a glass viewing room. I thought that was pretty cool.

Nakita's official weight is 5.05 pounds! So she gained a whopping 0.05 pounds since May. She's such a tiny mite.
Nakita also has some mild irritation along the gum line and her lymph nodes were slightly swollen. So, they had to draw blood from her and it took them close to half an hour to do this!

They have renamed her Houdini because they have never seen such a squirmy little cat before. And because she is so small they had trouble finding a vein, so they had to shave her neck and take the blood sample from there! Even when they gave her vaccinations, she would still squirm when the needle was in her!
:eek: As you can imagine, they had a hard time and they needed 3 people to hold her! :eek:

But on a positive note, she didn't hiss, scratch or bite. Actually, Nakita has never done any of those before. She was just afraid and didn't want to be there with the white coats.

So now I have to wait a whole week before the blood tests are back. I'm so mad at the last vet, because he didn't even want blood tests before. Now after reading more on feline health, blood tests are recommended before a spay and to provide a baseline in case of illness.

I just want her to be healthy and hope there are no problems. She's such a tiny mite that I don't want to even think about her losing weight with some illness. But with some gum irritation and a possible start of a URI (swollen lymph nodes) I'm worried it's something more.

I came to PT close to a year ago when I needed someone to hold my hand during Nakita's reaction to the spay drugs. You can read about it here: On The Verge of Tears..

So can I ask for some more positive thought sent Nakita's way? This is going to be a long wait for the test results since I can't get it out of my mind.

:(

You will be in my thoughts, you and sweet Nakita!!
Of course little Nakita-girl was afraid, noweone likes it when some white coats poke a needle in his body, right :eek: ! Good girl, Nakita!
Let us know the results, hey !

Of course precious Nakita will be in our thoughts and prayers this week! What a good girl - no hissing, biting or scratching, even when she was so scared!

Ally and Connor both send head-bumpies to one of our favourite little Pet Talk furkids!

Positive thoughts coming to Nakita.

Our sweet, precious Nakita. You will most surely be in our prayers for good results.

Did the vet say anything about what it could be?

Prayers and positive thoughts are coming your way. I sure hope that the test results come back good. Poor little Nakita and poor you for having to wait so long for the results. Please take care and keep us updated.

Filou and Tigris keep their paws crossed (both front and back) for their friend Nakita. Filou says that Aby girls can be as tiny as you, Nakita sweetie. He says he is a big boy with his 7 pounds;)

Good luck with the test results! She sure must be a tiny one! Think of her next to our 28 lb. Beavis!

You must be so worried! I pray that the results come back with good news for the lovely tiny gem Nakita ... one of my favourite Pet Talk kitties ... and I'm sure mine is not the only heart that Nakita has stolen :)

Sending positive thoughts and hopes for little Nakita to have good test results.

We'll be thinking of you and beautiful Nakita. Waiting for results is such a worry, but we'll all have our fingers and paws crossed for good results.
