My Shopping Day:)

Monday was a super crazy day.  We came home Sunday after straightening up my dads house and couldn't find Ping, our cat.  We looked all over the place- which isn't hard to do as we live in a very small house.  I looked everywhere outside thinking that maybe he snuck out- no luck.  Michael found him under Nathan's bed, which is highly unusual for him.  Then Kevin comes and tells me the cat isn't eating.  Ping looked so pitiful and he just layed around.  We watched him Sunday night and made an appointment with the vet Monday morning. 

They took some blood and did all kind of tests.  Several hours later, they told us that his white blood cell count was elevated meaning he had some kind of infection and he was dehydrated.  They showed us how to give Ping saline under his skin just in case he didn't get better and he needed to do it at home.  They also gave Ping a heavy duty antibiotic and told us to closely monitor him for the rest of the week and call them if he was not better.  After paying our hefty vet bill, we left and took the cat home.  We then had to drive back out to go grocery shopping as Michael had to leave for WV later that afternoon.  It took a couple of days to kick in but Ping is finally drinking water and seems to be coming back to his usual normal self:)  Thank the Lord:)
