I just walked in the door w/my girlie girl! She cried the entire drive home and I mean the entire drive! She wanted out of the carrier pronto! I tried to give her a mini noggin noogie through the holes in the carrier but it was rather difficult. She tried her best to receive it, though. When I opened the carrier door when we got home, she flew out of there like she was shot out of a cannon! She'd had enough of that place. She has to be on Clindamycin again, twice a day, and SQ fluids every other day. But her appetite is good, she looks good, she's moving fast, her creatinine level is down to 4.2, her white blood cell count is down to 19,000 from 37,000; things are looking brighter. This was a close call, I can tell ya. Dr. Lee told me to call him immediately if she loses her appetite again or if she vomits or if she becomes lethargic. Of course! I'd do that anyhow. But my girlie girl is home; Mom is happy; and Dr. Lee said Puddy is one tough cat. I can tell he likes her. He just chuckles when he talks about her and he said "You gave Puddy a chance and it was a good chance and she's doing great!"
Whew! Now I need to prepare for tonight's meeting. Thanx and blessings to you all for seeing me through another crisis.
Blessings,
Mary
P.S. And....my bill was much lower than anticipated, by several hundred dollars. And I wasn't charged at all for the vet tech.

When I saw that the vet tech's charges had been removed, I decided not to say something to Dr. Lee. I'm positive that he knows what transpired because he's the one who decides what discount is applied because it's his clinic. And I spoke quite a bit w/Dr. Davey about it, so I think that the vet tech got reprimanded and that's why he removed the charges. 
I know that there are those who post on PT that swear by it and I'm not trying to talk them into or out of anything. Just thought I'd pass on what Dr. Lee had to say on the subject.
