So I took C-ko to the vet today because I noticed the inner eyelid of her left eye wasn't retracting right. After some googling I determined that yes, going to the vet was a thing, and zipped over there (and I do mean zipped--I called at three and got a three-fifteen appointment).
Yes, she's got an eye thing, but her weight had dropped even more than the last time I was there with her, which was November, when we did blood tests and the like to figure out the problem. So this time we did even more tests! My poor kitty got to suffer through having droplets put in her eye, then x-rays, then an ultrasound, and then getting blood drawn. Then we got to wait for the results, which finally came back after like a million years!
My kitty has diabetes, which is manageable, yay! But then we had to go pick up her prescription for insulin and she had to get left in the car for like 45 minutes while I waited at Wal-Mart. Fortunately it wasn't super-freezing today, which was the only reason I stayed there.
I'm supposed to feed her and give her the shot tonight but she's been hiding under the bed since we got home and shows no signs of coming out again.
Given what she's been through today, I don't really blame her.
