So Mimi was acting kind of off last evening. She was sitting in the garage (odd) very quiet, and when I petted her she just sort of sat there.<\/p>\n
Margie reported when she came up that she was worried about Mimi, who had moved up to the couch.<\/p>\n
When I came down this morning, that’s where she was still. Margie had put some water down for her, but it looked untouched. I gave her a few pets, and she reacted pleasantly to it but without vocalizations or moving around.<\/p>\n
I had some vision of something wrong GI-wise, like she’d eaten something odd. There was also an odd crackling sound when I stroked her side (which made me think of bubble wrap). But she wasn’t in obvious pain or distress, so I didn’t feel the need to go to the Kitteh ER.<\/p>\n
But first thing (8 a.m.) we called the vet, and got place for her at 8:30. Margie took her in, while I sat and fretted at home.<\/p>\n
Well, finally got a call back. Mimi wasn’t moving around a lot because she was sore <\/em>— there were signs of major contusions on both sides of her, like something had grabbed her in its large mouth.<\/p>\n Yikes!<\/p>\n (Crackling sound was gas under the skin from said contusions, btw.)<\/p>\n So Mimi is sitting at the clinic at the moment, being X-rayed, but the docs seem to think she’ll be fine — and she was actually on her feet and moving around in the exam room, so she’s feeling a bit better. And we’ll be going on a dusk-to-dawn curfew around the house, as this would have happened in early night hours. Annoying, but there it is. And Mimi is okay, so that’s the best part of all.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
