Hi All,
Home from the vet's. They said it was never easier to take blood from a cat than it was w/her, she's so sweet. She isn't dehydrated and her breath isn't bad like it would be if she was in renal failure. So, here's hoping that she was just having a bad spell. She went straight to the food dish as soon as she got home, the brat.

She cried the entire way there but on the way home she was as quiet as a church mouse. When we got home, Puddy took off running. I think she thought she might be the next one to get inside the carrier.

As soon as I know what the blood tests tell us, I'll post. They couldn't take a urine sample cuz they said she has such a small bladder. So they let it go until they see what the blood tests results are.

Thanx for the prayers and I'll keep you posted.

Blessings,
Mary

The vet just called and said that Pidgey's blood work was "fantastic"! (Her word) She did say, however, that a couple of her teeth looked like she might have gingivitis and that would be consistent w/her lethargy, if her teeth hurt. So it appears that what's next is a good cleaning. We can deal w/that. This morning Pidge ran right upstairs and out into the patio room as if to say "I'm feeling better, Mom. See? I'm up and about." So it looks like we dodged a bullet. Whew!

Pidge is such a sweet girl. She was dumped in my yard 13 years ago when she was in labor! Two of her kittens were stillborn and one died shortly thereafter. She had every conceivable worm, tic, flea, etc. that you could imagine and it took $400 on the very first vet visit just to clean her up and make her comfortable. You just cannot believe her disposition. She keeps Puddy in her place, if you can imagine.

When I brought her home after her initial vet stay, I held her on my lap and sang to her while we sat in the sun. I somehow knew that sitting in the sun would do her good. She purred like a little motor boat. Since that time she's been totally unassuming, as though she's just grateful to have a home and be warm and fed. And, of course, she has her man, Boo, whom she adores. If he enters the room, she runs right over to him. If he leaves the room, she's right alongside him.

I'm so glad that my Pidge is ok. I love this gal. Thanx for your good wishes, friends.

Blessings,
Mary
