My poor kitty is sick. 🙁

She vomited several times yesterday (on our stuff and clothes and bed – yay!) and hadn’t eaten anything. We managed to get an appointment at the vet’s this afternoon. Dax was lethargic and didn’t even complain when I put her in her carry crate and into the car. That in and of itself says how bad she felt.

She growled at the vet (especially when she had to get her temperature taken) but didn’t even take a swipe at her. She’s usually an embarrassingly poorly behaved bitch at the vet.

She has to stay overnight with an IV to get rehydrated because she wasn’t drinking anything either.

They don’t know what’s wrong with her yet. They did some bloodwork and took some x-rays, but don’t have anything conclusive yet. Bloodwork was mostly normal, x-rays showed no internal blockage. Now she’s under observation.

I’m worried about the money, too. We already spent $400 fixing my car this month, and we don’t usually have “extra” since we’re trying to pay down our school debt so we can try to get a house next year. Moral: keep your emergency fund topped up, especially if you have to raid it to buy Kraft Dinner while in school. Rebuild it ASAP.

I miss my kitty. I want her to feel better. I’m worried.
