Yeah, we found a new vet. I feel more confidence in her already. Unlike the arrogant vet we had been dealing with, this one is unassuming, nebbishy, but reeking with experience. And not only do I not have to argue to be allowed to accompany Saki for all procedures, my petting Saki during the blood draw was expected. The facilities are hole-in-the-wall crummy, and we'll miss the nice digs of the old place, and Maurice the vet tech, but not the unavailable vets with aggressive treatment plans and little attention to side effects, and the receptionists who try to make decisions for you and put you on hold forever. The niceness of the facilities was also a wall they used between them and their clients. The front desk workers here are so much more on the ball and responsive. The relief I feel at making the switch is incredible.
Saki is most likely dealing with rising thyroid values due to the lowering of the prednisolone, which would account for her increased playfulness and restlessness, along with the weight loss. And her little heart is beating very fast. We should get the test results on Saturday. This would be much better news than a worsening of her inflammatory bowel/sc lymphoma, and should be easy to get under control. Hold on, little girl for a couple more days until we know what to do with your meds.
So it is a much better day. I cannot say what it meant to me to get the comments of support from ya'll during the dark night and in the morning. Life is so much better with my flisties in it, and I'm so grateful.<3 I'm sorry I've fallen behind in commenting on posts--so many of us have so much crap going on with us.
So here's an example of what my hyper baby has been up to this evening with her favorite hand knit catnip mousie:
The Mouse is mine.
