No-spend Weekend -- Shot Already?

May 29th, 2015 at 01:07 pm

Well, I hope it will be a no-spend weekend. Last night it seemed that my cat Mystery was not feeling well. I hope it is a passing thing, and that a vet visit won't be required. She has a sore place on her nose, her third eyelid is showing a little, and she seems warm, like she might have a fever. When I left her this morning she was cuddled up in the closet. I hope she can fight this off.

Just in case, I'm going to look around for a vet who takes appointments on Saturday morning. I haven't' used one since I've moved to this suburb; the cats have been healthy, and they're indoor pets, so there hasn't been a need.

I dread having to give her medicine. She is the worst; it's almost impossible to get anything into her.

In other news, I still haven't received my new BOA card, so I guess I'll call this morning. I really wanted it to be here by now, so I could use it for my train ticket. And I'd like to put any vet bills on it, too. Maybe it will be in the mailbox today.

One of my co-workers is taking medical leave for six weeks, so a lot of her work is going to fall on me for my last few weeks of employment. I certainly don't begrudge her; she is truly ill and should have taken time off before now. In fact, our office is planning to take turns taking meals to her place. She is fighting cancer AND recovering from two mini-strokes. She is very strong, but now it is time for her to back off and rest.

    Oh I sure hope Mystery recovers! Depending on the medication vets can give shots rather than pills. There are also those pill pockets that are worth a try.

    Well, the bright side is if the cat does have an infection that needs antibiotics, they can give her/him a shot with two weeks worth, in the office. We have a very skittish formerly feral cat, and the vet gave her that kind of treatment when she got a bad respiratory infection. It was a lifesaver, because I knew there was no way I could give her pills.

    hope your coworker gets better. probably she felt guilty over your leaving and her semi leaving and didn't want to go before now?

    Yes, not only am I retiring but another co-worker as well -- also, there is a team member on maternity leave. She felt like she had to hold up the ship. Hope she is now correctly focused on taking care of herself first.
