redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)
( Jul. 8th, 2002 04:49 pm)
We took the vet a feline urine sample, and he has now informed us that there is, in fact, something wrong with her kidneys. The good news is that he found white blood cells, which implies some kind of probably low-grade infection. This is good news because we can help, relatively easily. She's going to get a month of antibiotics, which I just picked up (my second trip to the vet's office today). I suspect that Artemis won't like this, and therefore neither will we: but oral amoxycillin twice a day for a month is easier, more comfortable (I suspect), and less expensive than most possibilities. She'll also be getting special food, but that has to be ordered so we won't have it for a couple of days.
