cimoreneSo! It turns out that the BB is acting like she has a UTI again this morning!
So far, after her diagnosis of kidney disease everything was going as well as could be expected except that she stubbornly keeps refusing her food and eating Snookums's food part of the time, so the vet had advised us to let that continue as long as she's eating and eating some of the right food.
The OTHER great thing is that because she has kidney disease there are a bunch of regular medications that she can't have and that includes the normal pain relievers and last time they brought up a weird one where we would have had to fill a capsule with a liquid solution ourselves and give it to her like a pill but if the solution itself touched the inside of her mouth she would have started foaming at the mouth? "I don't know how you would give that to a cat," said the vet's assistant at the time. (We turned out to not need it that time.)
So. We're going to the vet this afternoon! The sole slightly-less-awful feature of this situation is that Wax is home* and can drive, since otherwise the bus trip from here is like... 45+ min each way with a cat who hates vehicles.
*because she still has sick leave due to constant panic attacks!!!!
PS. And I also woke up to a text from Mom that Dad's back in the ER and on oxygen (after he told us yesterday he was home sick but it wasn't serious, just congestion). Nothing further from her yet in response to questions, but it's still the wee hours there.
