Poor Stygia!

Ms. C: Stygia went to the vet on Friday morning. She was not very happy about this! She meowed mournfully the whole mile-and-a-half to the vet's office.


As you can see, being at the vet is a scary experience! Stygia burrowed into my elbow/armpit area and remained there for the entire visit. Unlike Styx, she does not get mad and try to fight having her temperature taken or other indignities, such as getting an antibiotics shot. She just hides her little head and waits for it all to be over. She sheds a lot. But otherwise, a model patient:



It seems she has a urinary tract infection (UTI), which she has had before. She does not think that she is lucky that she has to take a pill each evening. I hope she will be feeling better soon. The vet said to expect to see a big improvement in 3-5 days, and if we don't see that, to give a call. Today is day 4 and she still seems to be uncomfortable, so we'll see what happens.

Cross your paws for Stygia!

Poor Stygia! Howling an entire mile and a half is simply TOO much. And the vet on top of that. Horrors!

We have our paws crossed that she feels better soon; encourage her to drink lots of fluids to flush her bladder out.

Poor Stygia! We hope she feels better soon. The trip to the vet is such a frightening indignity, she wouldn't want to have to go again.

Poor Stygia! We are purring and praying, and have paws and fingers crossed, for her to get better soon.

Para aquellos que sufren (sufrimos) de ansiedad y depresión, los libros y los animales de compañía suelen ser de gran ayuda para afrontar el día y las dificultades que se encuentran a diario, tanto para adultos, adolescentes como para niños. Gracias por compartir.
