Mass Destruction?

As of yesterday, Cleo lost control of her bowels and the diarrhea hit the ... everything. Today, we went to the vet. She escaped lethal injection by perking up and purring while we waited for the doctor. Actually, she escaped by no longer having a palpable mass. The food and antibiotic did not work. At all. So, it is, by default lymphoma. The mass reduced on anti-inflammatory medication, so it is probably the kind that will remit for a while. We got out cheaper than the permanent solution would have run and, more importantly, she got some shots that will jump start a more aggressive anti-inflammatory regime. No more metronidazole/flagyl. It was torture for her anyway.
For those given the option, go with the pill form of it. It is bitter, so you have to use a pill shooter, but the liquid is horrible and produces massive amounts of drooling for 5 minutes. The flavoring smells good, but the bitter is still there and can't bypass the mouth as easily as the pill. No matter how good it sounds, it is a very bad idea. I can not state this strongly enough.
So, back to prednisolone. I really hope she doesn't get the upper respiratory, damn i wished i had an immune system, infection again. If so... Being a grown-up sucks... The card is maxed out now, so she has to stay ok until i get it paid down some. Darn it. She must live longer than it takes to pay for her happy ass. That will put it past my birthday, so guess what i want for my birthday this year.
Callie still thinks she needs to be jealous. She is still wrong. She runs after Cleo sniffing her butt. She's all like, "We eat the same shit, we live in the same house... How the hell do you smell that bad?" She keeps chasing and sniffing as if unable to believe what she smells. Cleo takes offense and swats her sooner or later. Or just gives her "the look." Who knew cats could pull that off?
So, that's all the news. I have now been awake for 24 hours. Gotta sleep soon... Her first dose can wait until i wake up before work. Today is in the running for longest day ever...
