Thanks for all the replies.
Peanut's day was going wonderfully - treats, new catnip mousie, hugs and smoochies from mom, rolling around on the floor with catnip while mom made the bed....then all of that came to a screeching halt when it was time to go to the vet!
She was fine in the car, just a few meows, but there was this dog in the waiting area of the vet that started barking hysterically the second I touched the doorknob to open the door. And he didn't stop until they took him into one of the exam rooms. Then I had to sit next to a lady with the sweetest yellow lab, that kept poking his nose in at Peanut, and then a hyper something or other terrier came in to top it all off. Thank goodness the humungous mastiff/bulldog mix was ushered out the side door.
She was terrified to begin with, then ceaseless barking totally undid her, not to mention all the other doggies. Not another cat in sight until it was about time to head into the exam room - whew!
Everything went well, I had to drag her out of the carrier and then she hid in the crook of my arm, but she finally relented and sat on the scale, making herself as flat as possible hoping nobody could see her then, and everybody would leave her alone - no luck though.
The vet said she looked great and her weight is stable (compared to the last visit) so it's just a matter of waiting for the test results which I should receive on Monday.
Johanna, thanks so much for the offer to call your vet, but I think we'll hold off until we get the results. Then if I have any questions, I'll PM you. You did such a good job of calming me down with your first post that I'm fine with all this....for now.
Hope your transport went well.
Peanut is lounging comfortably in her little bed right now, and her daddy will be home shortly (after being away for two weeks), so I'm sure once he gets home and she gets some snuggle time with him, she'll be good as new again.
Thanks for all the well wishes, and I'll be sure and let you all know the test results.
