We took our cats to the vet yesterday, their first time at this vet. It went well, I think. The vet and a tech examined the cats, including listening to their heartbeats and breathing; drew blood for some routine tests; vaccinated them; and clipped their claws. The vet called today with the test results: Molly's are all "just fine," and Kaja's sodium and amylase levels are a little high, but the vet said the sodium might be a lab error, and the creatine level isn't high enough to worry about. In particular, she told me that both cats' kidneys are fine.

Sometime in the next 30 days, [personal profile] cattitude will get urine samples. for which they gave us a kit, and a stool sample, and we'll bring them to the vet. Sometimes the vet has been able to take a urine sample, and other times it hasn't worked.

This morning, I went to Somerville to have my wart zapped again. This time, I have instructions to apply a salicylic pad to the wart, changing it every other day, and tips on keeping the pad from falling off when I wash my hands, and a follow-up appointment 12 days from now, for another round of treatment. I am not optimistic about keeping the salicylic acid pads on my hand for 48 hours, and suspect that when I wash my hands, some of the salicylic acid will wind up in the water instead of on my hand. I suspect I will be sending Andrea a MyChart message asking what to do.

And I have to get blood drawn for some tests, sometime in the next three weeks (before my Ocrevus infusion). I got a call about this after lunch, and just wish they'd called this morning, when I was already on that side of the river.
