Okay, excuse me? I was laying here already. Do you mind?
No. I don't mind. Just be quiet and lay there while I clean up. I'm not feeling well. Shut up.
Uh - mom? Do I have to suffer through this?
Baby. Just shut up and let me lay here.
You're really not feeling well?
Okay. I'll let you stay.
Feel better!
I tried to be all tough yesterday but really, poor little Oreo and her bad kidney have me feeling pretty sad.
I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon for a bubble of saline. They injected it between her shoulder blades. She was a water balloon last night. You could feel the areas that were filled with it.
We'll know more next week about whether or not her kidney disease is reversible. She'll go into the hospital on Monday morning where they'll hook her up to an IV and run a bunch of tests on her. They want to test her urine for a kidney infection and some potassium thing plus a whole lot more over my head.
My friend, the vet, wasn't working so I called her at home from my cell phone while driving to the clinic and back again. She's so damn smart about all things kitties and was able to make me feel better. I was only expecting the worst because I have no clue about all things kitties.
I got the vet who's treating her to write me up a sheet of possible expenses. Thursday's visit cost us $182 plus we'll be looking at at least $400 to another $600 worth of stuff for the hospital stay.
But she's such a sweet kitty and we can't just do nothing for her so we'll start there and hope that a round of antibiotics and a change in diet will keep her healthy.
