She has a urinary tract infection and of course, it just showed up now. She showed no signs of illness until I tucked everyone in for the night and she began to cry. She squatted in the corner so I knew. I gave her some clindamycin and a subQ treatment hoping that it might help to relieve some of the pain. I hate the emergency clinics. They rob ya blind and they don't know what they're talking about half the time. I put a call in to Dr. Lee but he's on vacation so I left a message that I'll be coming in early tomorrow morning and take my chances on seeing someone. It's gonna be a long night for my Puddy. Please pray for her. I've got so many sick cats that I'm punchy right now.
5/24: I just got off the phone w/Dr. Feeman. Puddy won't cooperate enough to give them urine or blood specimens so they're going to have to sedate her and keep her overnight. He said they could treat her symptomatically but if her other kidney is failing, they won't know and treatment will be delayed. So, poor little girl is going to have to spend the night there. He said he'd call me w/the results of the urinalysis tonight, so hopefully, he'll have some good news. Why does Dr. Lee have to be gone?
