Angry

I waited around yesterday for a phone call that NEVER came.  I called last night around 7p and was told that the vets were all doing their call backs now so the phone should be ringing anytime but it NEVER happened.  I am at home again today but working as best I can.  My nerves are on edge and it’s kind of tough to concentrate.  I’m giving them a bit more time today but more than likely I will be going over and will have to be a bit more stern.  I just need some answers and help, it’s not an unreasonable request.  I get that I am not the only client but damn someone could have taken 5 minutes to call me. 

I withheld medication last night on purpose.  Gator continued to eat but now is not consuming full cans of food.  She didn’t wake me nearly as often but my nerves did a good job of keeping me awake.  Once again I feel like I am running on adrenaline. 

She used the litter box again yesterday evening and what came out was grey.  I gave that a google because I had no idea what it means.  Turns out it means there was no bile so she could have an obstructed or blocked bile duct or there could be something more serious going on.  There could be other causes at play.  One article said it was an immediate medical emergency and the other said if it happens more than twice you need to contact your vet. 

She’s back to drinking water but stares off into space and camps out a bit longer at the fountain.  As long as food and water are going in and coming out properly it’s a good thing.  As for the quantity of the food if that slows down a bit then I think we will be okay or at least I will be able to relax a little bit. 

I don’t know if I will give medicine again tonight or skip, that kind of depends if/when I hear from the vet and what my gut tells me.  I think the medication was causing the side effect of hunger to increase and I also think there is something else at play be it a parasite or infection.  It’s a nagging feeling and I do feel strongly that if we don’t figure it out I will lose my little girl prematurely. 

My neighbor came over last night as if I hadn’t already had enough to deal with.  They hired a new contractor for the damn trees and he is here today.  No one told me there would be a large truck parked in my backyard so my grass couldn’t be mowed.  This is a 2 day job and today is all about chopping things down.  Tomorrow will be grinding the stumps out and then were done.  They are very loud.  I will be glad to have this out of the way.  I passed word on to my lawn guy this morning.  Hopefully, he shows up a bit later in the week. 

Cheers for now.
