Abigail has had quite the week. I noticed early last week that she was peeing a lot, like 12 or 15 times in an hour and she was yowling when she was trying to pee. The vet had warned us about behaviour like this, so I called them immediately. They told us to bring right in, so I dashed over to vet (Abigail crying the whole way--poor kitten!). They said she wasn't blocked, which was a good thing, but they needed a urine sample, so I dropped her off the next morning and she hung out for the better part of the day at the vet. Turns out she had a very bad urinary tract infection. Lots of blood in her urine and she was in a lot of pain, so she's been on antibiotics and pain meds all week and she seems to be feeling better. It was very scary, though. Plus, she got out in the middle of the night the other night and Eric got quite scratched up by blackberry bushes trying to find her. After an exceptionally stressful time looking for her, Eric found her on top of someone's garage a few blocks away. It's been quite a week for Abigail. Poor little goose.
