Vets again

I ended up back at the vets yesterday. This time with Gizmo, my Tonkinese girl who's 17. She's been losing weight gradually over the last few weeks and so I wanted to get her weighed again. She was last weighed about 4 weeks ago. What I didn't expect to find when I got to the vets was that she's lost one of her front teeth! There was a bit of a hole where the tooth was supposed to be, and it looked quite sore, poor thing. And she'd also lost a bit more weight, so it was time to do some blood tests to see if there is something going on that can be treated.

The vets that we use are really good. They rang me this morning to let me know that the blood test results weren't too bad, but they are a bit concerned about Gizmo's kidneys, and could I get a urine sample. With 5 cats at home I don't think that's really an option for me, and as the vets had also mentioned putting Gizmo on a drip to rehydrate her, as they thought she might be a bit dehydrated, it made sense for me to take Gizmo back to the vets and get her admitted and let the vets see what they can do. So I went back to the vets this afternoon to leave Gizmo for further tests. I saw the same vet who had seen Aveline a few weeks ago when she had problems with her teeth! (I think I've been spending far too much time at the vets this year). I'm not sure how long Gizmo will be at the vets for. They said it will either be 24 hours or 48 hours. I hope it won't be too long as it's been very strange only having 4 cats in the house tonight…….

I also made the mistake of doing some crafting tonight, starting after we'd eaten, and using Fimo. I got a bit engrossed in what I was doing and completely forgot that I then had to bake it for half an hour ………. so i'm now up a bit later than I'd like, with a long day at work ahead of me tomorrow ……. I had fun though ....

The pink books really are tiny - less than a centimetre. And then rainbow books, which I've been told look like lollipops!  Ah well. You have to experiment. 

My Gizmo......
