She was really good, although on the way to the vet's, she kept pawing at the gear shift through the carrier as if to say "Turn this car around. I'm not going!"; she even curled up and slept on the way home. And I didn't hear any screaming when the sutures were removed, which, btw, Dr. Lee said he didn't use the dissolvable kind because her incision was so large.

He's still amazed at her. He said "Every time I see Puddy I marvel at how strong she is. She looks great!" He said that one of her meds could be causing the tic so to stop giving it to her. It had an antidepressant in it to keep her calm and he said sometimes it can cause neurological symptoms. Of course, she didn't tic one time while she was in there. But she did on the way home. And we're back to doing the subQ's every other day instead of every day now. I don't have to take her back in unless she's having problems but he thinks she's doing remarkably well. He did start her on some potassium, though.

While I was in the waiting room, though, a young girl and a woman who appeared to be her mother came in w/a cat in a carrier and I have NEVER heard a cat make that kind of sound! It was though he had croup but it wasn't that at all. He was in pain and the girl was crying and Dr. Lee came out and tried to comfort her and take care of the cat at the same time. I was going to go to her but they rushed her into a room. I overheard Dr. Lee say to her "He's not doing well, huh? Well, hold on." I didn't want to eavesdrop but I heard the word "cystitis" and "kidneys". I sure hope it's just cystitis. Puddy just got over that and while it can be serious, if anyone can make that kitty better, Dr. Lee can. I felt so bad for that poor kitty, I wanted to cry, too. And Puddy was as quiet as a church mouse. I think I'm going to call there later and see if they'll give me an update on the kitty.

Well, that's the report, friends. I haven't given Puddy any meds today because I didn't want to stress her out for her vet visit. So I'm going to have some lunch, then wrap myself like I'm walking through plutonium to give her the meds.

Blessings,
