It's one of those days that started off stressful. Olive is doing fine, it's our other cat, Cindy. Something is wrong and I haven't found a vet yet who can get her seen. Everyone is booked up. I'm continuing to try calling around. I'll update Olive's stats later. I tested Olive just now and she's negative for ketones. Please say a prayer for Cindy. She started vocalizing through the night and wouldn't stop. Since then she's pacing the entire house as if she's beside herself with anxiety. She won't sit still. Other than tooth issues we aren't aware of any underlying health issues. She needs labs done. Hasn't had any in about 3 years since her last dental/tooth extractions. So I'm really nervous myself now. This isn't like Cindy.

The one good thing is that Cindy has finally stopped walking around and is now resting. She hasn't vocalized like before and seems at much greater peace now. I only wish her appetite would go back up. She's eating, just not all of her food at one sitting. She eats about 75%. Still, it's so nice to see her at rest right now. Hopefully after her nap she'll be doing even better. Thank you for the prayers everyone!
She jumped on the couch and pawed at my hubby for a pet. Vast improvement. She is much more relaxed and she just ate some dinner. Granted, it's still not eating all of her food, but she does have an appetite when she does. Our friend, along with hubby, thinks it might be a tooth abscess that's responsible. It wouldn't surprise me because I know she'd eat more but the fact eating bothers her teeth is quite apparent as she chews like a dog with a wad of peanut butter in its mouth and she often pushes at the side of her cheek as she's chewing. I so wish she could have been seen today but just thankful she will be by tomorrow. We're blessed that this animal hospital is working her in when nobody else would.
