Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me
You told them all I was crazy...
Maya was throwing up this morning, so I ran her ass over to the ER at work right away. I took Corey with me too--he needed to get his staples taken out anyway.
She cried the entire way, in her chain-smoking granny low-pitched meows.
Physical exam: Nothing wrong, nonpainful abdomen, unlikely foreign body. Lungs clear: her upper respiratory infection is clearing up.
X-rays: lots of stool in the colon, no obvious foreign bodies, no suspicious or obstructive patterns.
Diagnosis: Gastroenteritis.
Dr. S (the one who came up from Gwynedd--I really like her too) said to keep an eye on the vomiting, finish the current course of oral antibiotics and then take a week off, in which she can have her next set of shots. Then she can do another 5 days of antibiotics and take more chest x-rays to make sure her URI is really gone.
Corey was silent, but he's so excited to have the stupid e-collar off that he's been grooming for an hour already. He can finally reach his own skin!
All this means I didn't get to go futon shopping yet. We may still do that later today...we'll see.
