State of the Cat Report

Well, I just got Happiness back from the vet. She seems to be doing pretty well, despite having to have two teeth removed, poor kitty. The lab work from the biopsy isn't going to be in for about a week, which means they probably won't get it before I leave, but the vet said that if Happiness does end up needing a steroid shot, it's probably OK if I don't get her in for it for a couple of weeks. If it's just an infection (which it very well may be), then all she needs to do is keep taking the antibiotics.

I feel kind of bad about having to leave her alone tonight after she's just got out of dental surgery, but no work = no money to pay vet bills, so I don't have a whole lot of choice. (And why is it that I only go to the eye doctor about once every three years because my insurance doesn't cover it and I resent spending the cash, but I'll drop $300 on health care for the cats without blinking?) I did put her in the bedroom and closed the door, so at least Nova won't be harrassing her. Well, not until he figures out how to open the door, which he usually does, but maybe by that time she'll be feeling better.
