Angel update
Jun. 17th, 2008 10:23 pmMy kitty is Satan. Just for the record.
Vet called me this afternoon as they were starting--there was a hole right through one of her teeth, and the root was reabsorbed, so they took that one out and didn't charge us for it. Bad news is that it definitely wasn't looking like an absess, which would've been about the best possible result.
So we got her home from the vet's, and she was running around like mad, and not letting us touch her, but that's okay--cat venting from a stoned kitty, you know how it is. We'll get the results from the biopsy in about a week. So we had dinner, and I lined up her pills (antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, synthetic morphine), and went to drop them down her throat. Both the vet's and the pet store next door were out of Pill Pockets, unfortunately.
And the IV site was bleeding, and there was blood on both her paws, and the whole spot they'd shaved--about an inch by an inch and a half--was dark red and feeling swollen and there was blood everywhere under the surface of the skin.
And off we went to the 24-hour vet's. Not a fun drive. Slightly improved when she sneezed a couple of times about two-thirds of the way through. I was having visions of her bleeding internally, going into shock, slipping away on the pain meds... you know how scared cat owners get.
End result?
She's fine. The reason she was bleeding and bruising and everything was because the filthy furry hopped-up beast was licking the injection site.
Conversation on the drive back from the vet's, translated from glower, largely went
Will post pictures if she lets me get close enough to take a decent one.

"Kitty, it's not nice to make your human panic."My head is killing me. I'm going for a cooler and some Gatorade.
"Fuck you, monkey. You put me inna box."
