Yes, he did say there were no crystals - whew!
As for boarding, I didn't think it was anything more than a UTI, so I was just going to have the normal pet sitter come in twice a day for them and to give Peanut her meds. She has administered meds before and has no problem with it. I will see how Peanut is doing tonight when I get home, and if things seem better I'll just leave it as is, but if I think she's worse or no better, I'll just take all day tomorrow off and take her for the ultrasound tomorrow morning before we leave and my boss will just have to deal with it. He did have to "express" her bladder while she was there because I couldn't get a good sample from her before we went. He didn't mention that he felt anything unusual, but then again he wasn't specifically feeling for that either.
Oh, and I've also given the vet the pet sitter's name and I will be giving her a letter authorizing her to make decisions on Peanut's behalf. Of course if anything majorly serious happened they would consult me first, but to just bring her in and have the vet look her over she has complete authority.
