Miss Pidgelet let them draw blood like a little lady and, as soon as they get the blood work back tomorrow, they'll call me. I've already scheduled her grooming for next Wed., the soonest available. She will have to be lightly sedated for 20 minutes while being groomed. Her mats are so bad that they consider it a medical procedure to have the lion cut done, poor girl. She could save herself so much grief (and me so much worry and money) if she'd just allow me to groom her. I'm hopeful that her blood work will come back ok so that we can get her groomed and be done w/it. I'm sure she'll feel so much better.

Dr. Lee isn't in today, so Dr. Feeman saw Pidge and he hadn't had time to look at Puddy's report yet, so he's going to call me this afternoon. He wants to compare her values w/the last time they did blood work, to see if her enzyme levels are really elevated. If so, we may have to forego a teeth cleaning and give her an antibiotic and a solution to put in her water for the gingivitis. It isn't as effective as a teeth cleaning, obviously, but if her levels are too elevated, I don't want to take a chance on anesthesia given that she's operating on only one kidney and a bad one at that. So when I hear from Dr. Feeman, I'll let you know.

Thanx for the continued prayers. Pidgelet and Puddy say 'thank you', too.
