So they said no broken bones or blood clots, and since she was eating and drinking on her own already, they thought she’d be fine in that area too. They got a tick off her lil booty hole and said the spot was inflamed and that her symptoms, weak, slow, ultra tired could also come from tick born illness, and it just happened to coincide with this incident.

So she got 2 shots, one antibiotic, one for pain. And she’s got 2 doses left of pain meds here at home, and she’s on antibiotics for the next month just to make sure. And I’ll be taking her to our regular vet this week to get blood work done. They wanted over $300 to do blood work at the emergency vet 😬 and since they were putting her on antibiotics for tick born illnesses anyway, I didnt see a reason to not wait and pay a semi reasonable price.

The little turkey is still trying to run out the door past me! She’s slow, so she’s not hard to stop right now, but GURL. Come on. She’s napping a lot even for a cat, but she stays close to me when she’s awake. I have some steps up to my bed for my old blind dog, and she’s been using them since, where as she always jumped past them before. And I put a laundry basket she can jump on to jump up to her shelf where her food is. I can’t sit it on the floor cause the dog, but I figure a little bit of forced movement like that is probably good for her.

So many of you have been checking in on her and it’s so sweet! Thank you all for caring so much about my Bootsie 💚 I’m sorry it took me a couple of days to post an update, but I’ve been tired yall. As soon as I was walking out of the vet with her, my chest started hurting and I was starving. It was like I hadn’t even realized how anxious I’d been, and my chest was tighter than a banjo string for the rest of the night. When I woke up Sunday (afternoon 😅), my chest was sharply sore for the rest of the day from being so tight the day before. But after many naps cuddled with Bootsie girl, I finally found the gumption to post lol thank you again everyone!

Pics 1-4 are all yesterday and today, 5 is at the vet, 6-8 are before the vet, and 9 is a zoomed put pic of the prison. She was inside the 2nd set of blocks on the left side.
