Well, day two. She did really well over night, responded well to the medicine and off we went at 1pm to the Internal Medicine Doctor. I am only irritated about them not being able to read the xrays from the other vet.

Baby Girl seems to have been talented enough to get THREE BLADES OF GRASS stuck in her soft palette and her nose. The third piece being the most severely lodged.

Only our cat.

I go back over to check on her in an hour. We’ll know more then as to whether I can bring her home tonight, or tomorrow. Poor thing.

But…that picture to the left is one of the most precious I’ve been able to take of her in a long time

While I love our vets, and yes, that is now plural, and we’ll be keeping Dr. Moore as she is a GREAT ER vet at Woodbridge Animal Hospital, along with our normal vet, Dr. Cunningham who runs PetCalls, the mobile vet clinic, I am offically tired of ER trips to the vet this year.

First, Nyxie, who I knew wasn’t coming home. Then, Gabe…who I didn’t realize wasn’t coming home. And now, Bijoux is there overnight at least.

Waiting patiently to go back outside!

She came in this am trying to cough up what I thought was a furball. So, I let her in and off I took pup to TKD camp. I come home, pass Nick who tells me she’s still trying to cough it up. I get inside, and check on her, she tries to cough again and this time, screams.

I have never heard a cat scream, and never want to hear that sound again. Poor kitten. So, while I’d made Bella a well kitten appointment, I called back to rush Bijoux over.

Talk about not pleased with me in the slightest. She’s only been in the car one other time, and that was coming home from the shelter two years ago. She talked the entire way. Her xrays were good, her blood work fine, but she was obviously in a lot of pain and unhappy. Dr. Moore is great about being upfront and kind. She’s methodical and keeps you informed every step of the way. Right now, Baby B is getting lidocaine for the pain…and another drug to coat her throat and help it heal. If she’s not better in the am, then we’ll be going to the internist to get her throat scoped in the afternoon. I’m not sure what that entails, and don’t really want the description of it LOL…but we’re working on finding out what the problem is and fixing it the best we can.

On the plus side, she’s apparently in great health otherwise! I’ll keep you posted.
