I just got off the phone w/Dr. Lee and he feels that she more than likely has yet another bladder infection. He said "When it stings to urinate, a cat will go right where s/he is even if the litterbox is right there". So he's starting her on another round of Clindamycin and he said that I could back her off the subQ's to every other day if my instincts are telling me to do so. He's concerned, though, that fewer subQ's may set her back because when he last saw her, she was lying in a ball, so I have to observe her and, if she regresses, to immediately give her a subQ. I told him how she paced all night and he said "The very fact that she has the energy to pace is a good sign. She's been checked for diabetes, thyroid and everything else we can think of and she has none of these, so she's probably become nocturnal. She's a mixed up kitty." So I'll start her on the Clindamycin today and see if it stops the inappropriate peeing.
I feel bad that I lost it yesterday. None of this is Puddy's fault. I'm sleep deprived; I know that's half of it. The other half is seeing my girl act like someone else's cat. I miss my TV partner. No more sleeping on my chest while I give her a noggin noogie.
