Joy was admitted to the hospital today. Sigh. Vitals are still all good! But, she wasn’t improving with the meds they gave us—the opposite, really, she seemed to be getting a bit worse with losing her appetite yesterday—so when I called the doc this morning to ask about maybe giving her some gaba to help ease the discomfort, the doc told me to bring her in, instead. She should have been getting better already. So, in she went.
That was hard. And it’s hard to be in bed tonight with her not here, wanting to lick my face and then snuggling down into my arm for bed. She’s only 3. It’s way, way too early for her to have any health issue, so…hoping it’s something that’s quickly and easily treatable, we just didn’t attack it from the right angle yet.
She did good there, today, including getting very upset at one point and wanting to be let out of her kennel to go home. That’s good, believe it or not. Sassy in the animal hospital is very good. It means she’s feeling okay enough to complain. They got a fecal sample, so we’ll get the results of that tomorrow. Maybe it’s a parasite. They’ll image her tummy again. They wanted to get it fully emptied out, so she didn’t eat anything else today, poor baby. But they want a clean image. So, we’ll see what that shows.
Anxious about it. I want her to be her normal self again. I’ll never take that for granted ever again. She’s really burrowed herself deep into my heart, so I really want her to be okay very soon.
I did write today. Enough to just send it to my co-writer, who’s been waiting for it. I’m…four scenes away from done? Maybe five or six? It’s really, realllllyyy close.
Keep Joy in your thoughts. Night night.
