Related: About this forumMartini's veterinary appointment today.
Since my vet's office will cancel your appointment if you're more than five minutes late, I made sure to get there at 2:50, only to find out that our appointment was at 3:30, not 3:00! The reminder they sent me said 3:30 and my calendar said 3:30, but for some reason, I thought it was at 3:00! Anyway, her blood pressure is normal (!); she's gained a couple of ounces (!); still has a heart murmur; but the kidney has gotten a little bigger (that's where the spot is). The vet gave her a senior workup; bloodwork; and checked her blood pressure. They want to monitor her every six months. I just finished paying off both cats' last vet appointments from last year 12 days ago, but what price do I put on their health?
When the vet tech brought her back to me, she said Martini is such a good girl (tell me something I don't know!) and she wished every cat was just like her (MY kitty!). She's always been pretty laid back, more of a go-with-the-flow kind of cat (except when I try to give her her medicine or put her in the crate, of course).
Tomorrow, I will get a call about her bloodwork and I know the drill: if a member of the staff calls, everything's okay and if the doctor calls, there's something wrong. Fingers crossed, it's the staff.
