And we're off... to the vet. \m/

Well, our suspicion of Zoe having a UTI seem to be right, considering that's what the vet said was wrong with her yesterday. We had an appointment for 4:30, but we got there around 4:00 and got in around 4:20. Not that any of that matters, I seriously have no idea why I just said that. Anyway, we got to see Dr. Meir, who is our favorite cat vet and he said that's more than likely what she had. He said he was going to put her on antibiotics no matter what, but he still needed a urine sample from her so that he could test for crystals. And there were are few different ways we could go about that:

1) She could stay over night and charge us a housing fee plus the price of plastic litter.

2) We could buy a $15 bag of plastic crystals to take home and put in the litter box.

3) We could put a trash bag on top of the little box for free and collect it ourselves.

What do you think we choose? Number 3 of course! Why in the hell would we pay $15 or more on something we could do for free? He said that the other stuff was kind of nuts and recommended the trash bag method. Which we've yet to do. That's our plans for tonight. Then tomorrow, we have to drive all the way back to the vet clinic just to drop off a urine sample. But if she does have crystals, we have to change her diet and have her put on some other kind of medicine. So lets hope there are no crystals in her pee.

Aside from that exhilarating news... wait, that's all. Hmm, imaging that shit. I did manage to get some pictures on the way back yesterday. Nothing special, just some flowers and what have you. So don't forget to check those bad boys out at the bottom. There's also some pictures from around the house that I got last night.

Anyway, I suppose that's all for now. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Here are the pics... obviously:

 I got this just before we left. It would've been better if I could've got its face.

 She looked this unhappy before we even put her in the car.

 Look at those eyes! This was taken while we were driving.

 Awesome mural at the vet's office.

 Look at all the expensive supplies, lol.

 Before her check-up.

 She was getting sick at this point.

 Still before her check-up.

 Just after her check-up. I love the way her butt looks here.

 Ugh, I hate the meat department guys at Walmart. Don't you know they think they're hot shit in their lab coats?

 Some flowers on the way home. This was right next to St. Francis River.

 More flowers by the rock wall.

 And again.

 And again...

 Look at the drop off, it's crazy!

 I wonder what lives in there?

 Seriously, stop.

Another trip to the vet...

Hello again. Today we had to take our inside cat Zoe, to the vet. It's never very pleasant when you think one of your animals are getting sick. Well, yesterday we had noticed that she was kind of mopey and stuff. She had just been laying around and acting like she didn't feel very good. So at the time, we just thought she was tired or hot, cause it was like 500 degrees yesterday, so we didn't think much of it. Well we passed out around 3:30 in the morning and woke up about 7:45. We sat and watched TV for a bit, but we both noticed that she was still kind of tired looking. So I was like, "Do you wanna take her to the vet?" And LaVaughn was like, "Yea." And then I said "Even if she isn't sick, we could get her vaccinations." So, I called Fredericktown animal hospital and asked if they could get her in. Well, after being on hold for like 5 minutes, the lady finally said that they could get her in around 2:45. So, we were both happy about that. Then around 9:40 this morning we were both still so tired and decided to take a nap. Well we got up at 12:20, took showers and proceeded to the vet. Well we got there and thankfully, we got our favorite vet, Scott Mier. Well, he looked at her and felt of her everywhere and said that he couldn't find anything that was really wrong with her. So he gave us the option of having a urinalysis done. Cause he said that when he can't find any physical symptoms, that a lot of the time it's a UTI (urinary tract infection). So, he ran the test and figured out that that's exactially what was wrong with her. So he put her on Clavamox. One dropper full, twice a day until gone. Well we were both relieved that that's all it was. He also said that they couldn't do her vaccinations while she had an infection. So we'll have to put that off a couple weeks. Well I guess that's about it. - Megan
