Well, her fever came back.  So she stays at the vet for another night.   :(  And she still wasn't eating (they were force feeding....whenever she hissed at them, they would shoot soft food into her mouth...we think she was just being lazy!)

We got to go and visit her though and she ate out of my hand :D  The vet assistant was amazed because Dot was eating food off of her blanket (I think she was having problems eating out of the bowl with the "cast" on her paw holding her IV in). 

She seems so much better today and she definitely wasn't as hot as when we brought her in.  Let's hope her fever stays down and we can bring her home tomorrow.

Well, Dot stayed at the vet's last night.  She had a fever when we brought her in.  They kept her, did blood work and xrays.  They also gave her an iv to rehydrate her and to give her some meds (for pain, antibiotics, and to bring the fever down). 

All the blood work and x-rays came back clean.  The vet thinks that there is something wrong at the base of her tail.  I don't know if I believe that...I think Dot is just pissy right now.

We should be able to pick her up today after work.  R and I are both going to try and leave early.

$$$ later....

So, we are taking Dot to the vet tomorrow.

She has been eating or drinking....or using the litter box.  We bought an eye dropper and have been giving her some water with it.  And she will eat a couple of pieces of kibble if we put it in front of her.   She doesn't want to walk anywhere, and she has been laying around for 2 days now.  She slept between my legs all night last night and that is not like her.

She isn't even licking my nose.  She always licks my nose. :(

Why are vet's so expensive?  We need to get pet insurance.

HA HA HA

This one is funny!

So, we have our Turkey dinner tonight...for Thanksgiving...

We had sweet potatoes, white potatoes, stuffing, turkey, gravy, and pumpkin cheesecake squares.

We brought home a huge chunk of white meat (cause it is all we like....and it's better for you), too many of the squares, and some homemade turkey soup.

Holy cow! lol

we have food for a while...

Rich is now sick....again.

We thought that I had gotten sick from him, but now I don't know.  He is literally sick 2 weeks after getting better.

We bought stuff on our way home tonight to hopefully help him.

So, I have been trying to avoid saying it.

But yes, I am sick.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and it has gotten progressively worse since then.  My head feels like there is a balloon in my sinuses, my throat is still sore, and my belly is crappy.  I have a feeling I am not going to be at work tomorrow.  Hopefully a day off will allow me to recuperate before I take Friday off.

I have to get "better" by Wednesday because I CAN"T miss work that day.  That would not be fare to my coworkers as we are short staffed that day already.

I am just wanting to go home and veg.  I *might* be able to work on a certain baby blanket tomorrow, cause that really doesn't take too much concentration.

I think I am going to get Rich to take me to Shoppers Drug Mart tonight to see if I can take something.  I usually hate taking stuff, I rather that it run its course kind of thing.  But right now I can't afford to be sick.

OH, on a side note, I went to get my blood taken so I could go to my doctor's appointment on Thursday.  I got there at 8:15 Saturday morning.  They opened at 8:00.  I walked up and got my number, and I was number 11.  I then saw the person beside me  (when I went to stand with DH) had number 22.  Yeah, they had pretty much looped the entire number system they have.  I was NOT going to wait.

So, I am going to get my blood done on Friday, and I have rescheduled my appointment for next Thursday October 12.
