Vet

I took Callie to the vet earlier today because she got sick again this morning after her walk with my dad, and since I have the wellness plan with Banfield, I can go to any of their locations.  So I took her over and even with the plan it cost me around $400 due to x-rays and bloodwork.

But, in the words of Tommy Wiseau: "I would do anything for my girl."

Anyway, her bloodwork came back normal, which was good, but her x-rays showed some irregularities in terms of gas.  There was just a lot of it and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with her upset stomach, because it hasn't passed.  (Though funnily, as we were going over this, she ripped one in the room.  My god it was so bad the vet tech's eyes were watering aha.)  The vet told me that she would recommend IV fluids and for her to stay overnight (but it would have to be at a different place, since they don't do that there), but I don't know if that is completely necessary?  She's still drinking water and everything and she hasn't been sick since this morning, which is good.  So I said that I would watch her and if she keeps vomiting and stuff, then maybe I'll have to take her in.

Though I would also like to get a second opinion from her regular vet up in Vestal first.  Just because she knows her better and truthfully seemed a bit more knowledgeable.

I did ask about feeding her rice if that would help, and they said that I could do that as part of a bland diet as long as she keeps it down and everything.  So if she doesn't throw up again today, I might try and give her some rice and boiled chicken and see if that might help.

I just want her to feel better.


I'm stupidly tired, and I think it is due to a combination of the dream and worrying so much for the past 24 hours.  

I keep watching Catbug in order to cheer myself up:
