Unfortunately I have yet to hear from the vet or her office. I’ve thought about various approaches and while I could go in like a charging bull that won’t get me the results I really want, in fact it could have an adverse affect. I’m waiting and if there is no response I will reluctantly go in for the scheduled appointment on Sunday. At that time I will make sure all of the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. I think that will probably be our final visit until things get worse.
Today is NOT a good day for Momma. Her breathing is off, she is agitated and restless. I have watched her most of the afternoon on camera and I have come close to calling it a day early. Were in the home stretch now the last hour so I think she will be able to manage. She is resting with her head down and eyes open. I haven’t gotten good numbers on her breathing. I have plans to give her a rescue dose of medicine when I get home. This morning she didn’t want to eat at all. She started by acting like she was playing me but the more food I opened the more she turned her nose up at it. Until I finally had to beg her and she ate a little bit. I know she doesn’t feel good but eating is a part of being able to stay alive. To error on the side of caution I gave her an appetite stimulant I just don’t want her to shutdown on me, with out me having tried all of the possibilities. If it’s going to happen then I can at least know that I took all of the possible steps that I could to prevent it.
I don’t think her time is quite up yet but unless she is in obvious distress or discomfort, I think that she has a bit longer with me. Today is just not one of her better days and to say it bothers me is kind of an understatement.
On a different note the grumpy guy I work with will be on vacation next week so it will be a little peaceful. I’ve got to visit the dentist on Thursday and really don’t look forward to that at all. I don’t have any mouth issues but it’s the whole billing conversation that I don’t look forward to. They no longer send bills by mail and I keep telling them until they mail me a bill I won’t be paying them. That was what I told them six months ago and it’s what I will tell them again next week. I am considering changing dentists because it’s made me so uncomfortable. I have been with this particular dentist since I was in my 20’s so it’s a long term relationship and I know what to expect. She takes very good care of me. But since she sold her practice she has given up control of everything and big brother runs everything. Supposedly the only thing that was to change was the name of the practice but everything else was remaining the same. Sadly that is not the case.
Lots of TV watching to do. My home DVR is loaded with plenty of stuff and the next and final installment of The Ranch on Netflix is out today. I will have to binge watch that so it’s like a weekend project.
Right now I am just eager to get home and see if I can’t bring some comfort to Momma. Stay tuned and I will keep you posted on the good the bad and the ugly. Stay warm and be safe.
