So, I’m exhausted. I was up all night since we had to make sure I wasn’t getting worse and in-between the times waking up, I just didn’t sleep very well. My head still hurts today but I’m definitely less groggy/woozy so that’s a good step. Internally, my head where I hit it feels huge but externally, it doesn’t really feel like it’s lumpy or really swollen at all. Guess it’s one of those perception things; it hurts and is tender so it just feels big.
The bad news is that Gracie’s UTI is back. Few weeks ago, we took her in and got her antibiotics but we had such a hard time getting her to take them that she only took about half when all was said and done. She seemed fine for about a week but now…she’s back in the litter box constantly, straining to pee. Poor girl. So I’ve got to run her back to the vet today. Called my boss and asked if I could have the day off to get her in and he said yes. Don’t really have the money for a vet visit but hopefully, there’s enough on my credit card open to pay for it. I can’t ignore it after all, she legitimately needs medical attention, so, I’m just hoping it won’t be too much.
Ugh, what a weekend. Think I might lay back down for a bit until I have to go to the vet.
Does Gracie each dry cat food? If so, try limiting the amount of dry cat food she has. Mika (UK) had a UTI years ago and after it reocurred, the vet said to stop him from having any dry cat food (though we’ve always fed him tinned cat food anyway). So at first we stopped the dry cat food and now we just give him some as treats and he hasn’t had a UTI since.
