my shitty night
[22:59:10] Wombat stalked out of my line of sight when I rebutted her ("It's not dinner yet >:O"), wanders into bathroom.. then rushes out suddenly, dragging her back end
[23:00:06] and dashed downstairs. I went "wtf!" and chased after, called one of my neighbors, who came over and spoke with the vet (phones and I are mortal enemies when I'm stressed) and brought her and I to the vet's
[23:01:14] where she got a bunch of tests (small favors: she doesn't have diabetes! her blood sugar was totally normal.) and a couple x-rays
[23:03:26] and the vet, though slightly confused (one leg was semi-paralyzed, the other was just limping, but her back-end muscles were working fine and the semi-paralyzed leg still had good bloodflow -- so no bloodclot), decided that a combination of constipation (quaddamned crap) and some slight degeneration in spinal discs in her back caused it
[23:04:32] the vet gave her hydration, an enema, some medication I'm to give her over the next few days (at least -- gonna call her on Monday), and sent us home. and then Wombat's enema kicked in during the drive back. and did I ever mention I'm oversensitive to bad smells? x.x
[23:06:44] at least at home there is a respirator, which I swiftly donned. neighbor and I cleaned up kitty and kitchen, and since Wombat is really inclined to use the litterbox, I don't need to like.. scrub the kitchen with bleach or something.
[23:07:57] and.. called my parents. (they're planning to come back in about two weeks, yay. this home-alone 'vacation' has been anything but.) went over to neighbor's for dinner (pasta + meatsauce)
My sinuses' new trend of giving me nausea-inducing headaches twice in the past week is not amusing me, either.
