Nervous waiting for blood results

[lenistar]

Hi everyone,

Moritz and I were at the vet yesterday and he had blood work done to check on his kidneys and thyroid. I thought I was going to hear back from the vet today shortly after their closing time (at noon). I waited until around until 3, but then I had to leave because I had an appointment (which I was already late for because I was waiting for the vet's call and didn't want to miss it). I figured the vet didn't have time to call and would get back to me on Monday. Well, wouldn't you know it, she left a message around 4:30 saying she has the results, and we can discuss them Monday. Now I'm super nervous not knowing! And I'm imagining the worst case since she didn't say on the phone "everything looks good". Does anyone know if it's just typical vet protocol not to divulge test results on an answering machine, even when it's all good news?

Thanks for your help!

Very nervous kitty mama,
Elena

Hi Elena,

Will be keeping fingers crossed for good news on Monday. It is hard to say what Vets will do or say with good news... Or bad. Just as every cat is different, so is every vet. The vet we have been seeing forever is very dry and matter of fact, he will leave both good and bad news. But I have noticed if there is something that he wants me to do or try, then he always just says to call him without saying much else.

Good luck. Try not to stress too much until you get to speak with the vet.

No news is good news -

Look at it this way - whatever the results, the vet felt confident it could wait until Monday.

Hang in there! Monday will be here before you know it.
