Took Abby to the vet this morning…I’d noticed that she had a nail that seemed to get caught on the carpet with every step she took, so I took a look at it & saw it was split quite away up & that her hair was stuck in it really tight…
Also did a check up because of how sick she was back in April. I told him she’d just started some excessive licking of her rear & the “sit & spin” (not the sit & drag, lol) Well….seems Miss Abby has a 104 temp & impacted anal glands AGAIN! So we took care of that & miss wiggle worm wriggled free just in time for me to get a splat of those fluids on my shoulder!! Woooweee! He gave her antibiotics (baytril) to take for 2 weeks & also a shot.
And….for those who think Abby is an angel, ya better sit down before you keep reading. I had to hold her so tightly…yet she managed to pull right out of her collar & jump off the table…she also got her tiny lil snout out of my grip twice & acted like she was going to nip the vet…altho as he noted “look at her tail, it’s still wagging 100 mph through all of this! Like I had time to look…I was holding a wild animal, I had anal fluid on my shoulder & was now wearing a fur lined shirt!! Sheesh… The vet noted that if Abby’s goal today was to embarrass her mom, she seemed to be doing a wonderful job of it!!
Just like the last time she managed to throw up all over the house. All of this just for the anal glands…holy cow…how did I ever get through her kidney stones??! Tonight she’s very quiet, just laying close by me & wanting to lay on my lap…so…even though I had plans to do something tonight (ladies night out with all my coworkers)..I decided to stay home & take care of my “angel”
(back in April Abby was sick several weeks, anal gland problem on top of kidney stones & crystals in her urine...we almost lost her, such a helpless feeling...but she pulled through & is on a very strict diet)
