BAD NEWS BOAT, FULL STEAM AHEAD

[lex]

Okay so Nostalgia has a giant raging urinary tract infection. Like, she's peeing blood and passing blood clots, and I brought her to the emergency vet because uh PISSING BLOOD, NOT GOOD and that only cost $184 afjsdkjhfsd So anyway. She has antibiotics. They gave her an injection right there, and they were so nice and utterly sweet to her and talked me through all the diagnostics - I have had such good luck with vets. I really have. The vet I saw fell utterly in love with her and her adorableness and her huge eyes and her wobbly walk. ♥ They drew urine right out of her bladder to test for bacteria and he actually came out and showed it to me - it was not urine, let me say that. It was the unholy fluid of my nightmares. We looked at it for a minute and then he said "So yeah we'll take a look at that, probably see some red blood cells..." and then we both started giggling inappropriately. Soooo she's on 100% wet food until the antibiotics are done, at the very least, in the hopes of pushing that crap out of her. Poor darling. I might keep her on wet forever. :( I know she adores the Acana but it can be a treat for training - she's very treat-driven, it worked for her harness training. So that is my plan. I think it is a good plan. Treatment and preventative care. Yes. :( My poor Nostalgia.

...On the other hand, she's still insanely hyper and playful and I keep thinking if this is her in pain and miserable, what will she be like when she's comfortable? I guess we'll find out soon enough. :) ...After my trip. DID I MENTION THE TIMING OF THIS WHOLE MESS REALLY SUCKS.

She's so worth it.

...in other news I'm almost done a couple different short fics. This pleases me.
