…It Pours!
July 26, 2010I brought mom to the hospital. She has another absess. Big fucking surprise!! Why am I not a doctor?! Oh yeah, that’s right, cause I was a loser who dropped out of college. If only I knew then what I know now. Isn’t that the way it always is?! They kept her at the hospital for a week and a half and then shipped her off back to me. She is now on IV antibiotics for another four weeks. Oh joy! One more thing fo rme to keep track of. Sometimes I wonder how I keep everything all straight. I am a huge burnout you know. But enough about mom….
Corky is a fucking mess!!! I ended up having to bring him down to Cornell University! The regular vet didn’t know what was wrong with him. The emergency vet didn’t know what was wrong with him. The poor guy is barely walking around in a straight line. He is falling over constantly. And he’s not eating. The vets at Cornell said that he has an inner ear infection. It’s not something you can see from the outside. They gave him some antibiotics and sent him back to me a day and a grand later! I had to bring him back again two days later cause he still wasn’t eating. How can he properly fight this infection without any nutrition?! I saw a different vet. He suggested an MRI since Corky has never had any problems with his ears in the past. He thought that maybe there was something bigger going on. There isn’t. Just a massive middle/inner ear infection. They put a feeding tube in him. Poor guy. Now he’s home with two antibiotics, one anti-fungal and an anti-nausea medication. What a fucking mess! And I have to give him his meds and feed him through this tube! That’s super tiny by the way. I can only push 1ML through the tube per minute! And I have to feed him every four hours! WTF Corky!!! He has met his cap on the amount of money that will be spent treating this nonsense, so these antibiotics better work. Cause I’m going to feel really really bad for putting a cat down for a stupid ear infection. So let’s keep our fingers crossed. And maybe our toes too for good measure.
And again… Seriously Sara?! WTF!!! Who does that?! How do you sleep at night?!
