Had a fun day! Little moan!
Rosie the 13yr old cat started showing signs of a UTI Tuesday night, in and out of the litter tray with not much coming out! Was hoping she’d improve as has had bladder problems on and off for years and know her well, happens on the odd day if she’s stressed but no, went about 15times in 5 hours so phoned my local vet.
Waited hours for a phone call back from the vet but it was the vet nurse I’d spoken to in the morning saying the vet wanted to speak to me about it but I need to ring reception and pay £25 and book a phone appt (they’re only seeing very urgent/emergencies).
So did that and vet called, agreed it’s most likely stress as has been for years with her (she has many years of notes!) and said she’ll prescribe some bladder capsules and antibiotics, I also asked for metacam just in case. Get told I then need to phone reception again and pay for meds and they’ll be ready after 5.30, did that and went up to collect them. Had to phone reception to tell them I was there while standing in the car park as I obviously don’t drive, then a window opens and I get passed the meds, thanks bye etc.
So £89.70 later and no checking of Rosie (who was on the bed snoozing!), no jabs that she’s due soon and I’m at home dreading giving her 4 tablets a day for the next two weeks and one for another week after that! That was fun!
