Kitty was not adequately sedated by gabapentin so she had to have a muscle injection and monitoring for a few hours (an extra $300+) but at last they got the blood sample. Got a stack of bupe for her if needed to chill her out until the results come back. She's fine but wobbly and confused at the moment. Poor, poor, poor soxcat. I hope they get to the bottom of what the issue is with the poor girl :(

    The bupe itself was only like $7 but the "dispensing fee" which is a flat rate was freaking $40 which is why I asked for as much as I could to last even after her owner gets back. But yeah the whole thing costs a bomb. Blood test alone - $330. Sedation and clinic fee for a few hours of monitoring - another $320. I don't envy her owner right now...

    She's calm and settled for now, if still a bit sad that she can't go into most of the rooms in the house (because I can't trust her to not pee on the couch...) but I hope she gets out of her hormonal whatever phase soon so we can have a nice cuddle on the weekend. At least she's eating a bit more than she was before...
