A hopeful update for Moose...
Took him to the vet today. the vet we saw was really nice. the other vet we've seen is great but this one was just so sweet to Moose. Even though timmy and I thought it sounded like it could be roundworms, FIP or constipation... i didn't say any of that. i just told her the symptoms. Timmy said not to mention what we think it is because of the power of suggestion. But the first thing she said was she was concerned about luekemia and FIV and then she said FIP. We called the people we got him from last night. i have mixed feelings about them. but they did say that there are 2 types of tests for FIP, neither is 100% accurate but they said to do the one where they send it out to a lab and no the one that they do the same day because its more accurate and the other can have false positives. She didn't even mention the other tests she just said she wanted to take a blood sample and send it to the lab. so that makes me feel good. She also said she wanted to drain some fluid from his tummy because FIP has a very distinct look and she could probably tell a lot from the fluid alone. The FIP fluid is usually really chunky. They said Moose's was not and that is wasn't cloudy either. it was clear yellowish. so thats a good sign i think.actually i think that's a really good sign but I don't want to get my hopes up. The bill came out to $550. uhggg. last time we spent that much on a kitten, we ended up having to put him to sleep :( Granted Penguin was a lot worse... he couldn't walk and he pooped himself and he couldn't breath and he was sooo skinny :( I hate thinking about it. Moose doesn't look like that at all. if you didn't know how he was, he'd just look bloated really. uhggg $550... but we can't not get the tests... damned if we do damned if we don't. if we have to put him to sleep... I'm never buying a cat again. Moose is the best kitten I've ever had. only had a couple but still. he's so active and happy and cuddly :( I love him he's my baby.
he seems happy right now. he's laying outside on the porch. he loves it out there. he likes watching birds and bugs and the kids play in the pool and on the grass and the breeze. i hadn't let him out in a while because he jumped on the ledge and was walking behind the tarp we put up. but last week i put up another tarp to keep him from the right side of the porch and prevent him from jumping on the ledge. but then he has less space to look out. but i took it down.. i figure its ok since i'm 100% he wont try jumping on anything right now.
well. thats all really about Moose at the moment.
i was looking for a dresser the other day. and then alisha texted me this morning saying my mom was having a yard sale and wanted to know if i wanted a bunch of my old stuff. dresser included. so thats cool. and my old lamp that jason stole and my mom never made him give back. jerks.
gonna hang out with alisha on monday. might drive her back home but idk yet.
1 more week to our anniversary mini roadtrip. finding it hard to get excited under the circumstances.
i just ate a big mac meal. screw veganism, I'm sad. :( i know. what a fat thing to say. whatever.
i had the wrong cable... i went to the apple store and got the right one. a little more expensive. but double monitors are nice.
i have a bunch of crap to do and no motivation. poop.
my jaw hurts.
just played the drums for the first time in a hundred years. felt nice. but i forgot most of what i knew. and i am so rusty.. my time is off. i want drum lessons but not really. its probably stupid. i feel music lessons are for kids and teens. i am too old for that. but then i feel stupid for saying that because there are a lot of adults who take lessons. maybe its something else.
my tooth hurts. uhg.
