I’m writing this in a mess of tears as we’ve just come back from an unexpected trip to the emergency vet and I need an outlet. Our lovely cat was hugely not herself when I got home from work - listless and hiding - and she deteriorated quickly over an hour, so we went with our gut instinct to get her seen to quickly. Turns out she has a temperature of over 40 degrees so they’ve kept her in to do bloods and I’m assuming antibiotics - it’s a blur and I need to read the paperwork. She’s normally bright as a button but she’s an adventurer and I was terrified she’d eaten something toxic from outside, but the vet thinks the signs point to an infection. I’m not sure what’s worse! She’s under two years old and so young - I’m sitting here crying into her brother’s fur and need to pull myself together! I don’t know what I’m asking for really - probably just a handhold.
