Not a great week for anyone, it seems.

Today I had to take Natasha to the vet. She vomited last night and didn't even bother to move out of it. I had to clean her up like a baby. Poor thing. She was being so lazy the last few days that I was getting pretty worried. I called the clinic and they asked me to bring her back. Since that was an hour away I told them that I'd prefer to take her to her regular vet if she needed to see someone and they said that she probably really did so I took her to our vet. He told me that she had a fever and when he touched her abdomen she screamed like she was being murdered. 😭 I wanted to die. He told me that he felt it was almost an emergency situation, and that something needed to be done TODAY. He said that since the clinic did the spay he thought it would be better for me to take her back there - not only because they had her chart and knew the details of the surgery, but also because they do free after-care and he thought that I'd have a pretty big bill by the time he was done with her. SO... off to Irondale we went.

When we got there they stuck a needle in her belly and tried to pull out some fluid, but there was none so that was a good sign. They squished around on her belly and I could tell that it hurt her, but she was good for it. Then they gave her an IV for 4 hours with some antibiotics in there. They sent her home with some pain meds and instructions to keep her quiet and still for 10 days. I called her vet and let him know and he said that if she doesn't make a quick turnaround to bring her back first thing. She's curled up asleep on the love seat now. So, that's been my day.

I talked to my bestie Janet and apparently a cat that she was fond of was killed by some dogs. I also talked to my good friend Jeni today and her boyfriend Ben was in the hospital earlier this week. Also, my buddy Jarsh called and said that his mom's mom is in the hospital and that they need a place to put 2 dogs, a cat, and a parrot. I'm willing to help with that any way that I can. But fuck, it seems to have a been a bad week for everyone. I'm hoping that the weekend ends up better. I'm ready for it.
