Good news and bad news  (not too bad, though). Good news is that the
blood tests came back fine - no worries there. The bad news came with
the urinalysis, which is the reason she spent the night, to let them
collect a sample. She has an infection and will be taking amoxicillin
for a couple weeks before being retested. Dr Haney said she held the
urine as long as she possibly could, and then really, REALLY, let go.

sidenote: Reminds me of when I picked up Rocky after his snip job.
This was back when he was still sort of semi-feral, still very
skittish about being inside with the door shut, before I realised he
was part of the family. I took him down the day before the snip so
they could control his eating the night before surgery, then he stayed
the night afterwards so they could watch for any problems. Well, the
whole time he was there he refused to eat, drink or use the litter
box. The folks at the clinic were concerned there might be
complications from the surgery, but sent him home since it might have
been the strange surroundings. Anyway, when I got him home he wanted
outside right off. Reluctantly I let him out, hoping he wouldn't
disappear for a couple days like he had done in the past on the couple
occasions I took him off to TEDs. No worry this time, he hopped the
chain link fence into the yard next to the apartment complex to visit
his favorite toilet, then came right back, had a hearty meal and long
drink before taking a long nap.

OK, back to Sammy. When we got home she rushed over to take a long
drink, then had some dry food. Unlike last time when she spent all day
at TEDs, this time LB welcomed her back with no sign of hissing. Now
all I have to worry about is figuring out how to get Sammy (who has
never had to take medicine) to take the evil pink stuff. I tried the
gentle approach a few minutes ago by just sitting on the floor with
her between by knees, but she fought. I let her win that round, not
wanting to get her all stressed and valuing my skin. Next I'll try
wrapping her in a towel and forcing the stuff down, then giving her a
treat. Before I do that, though, I'll have to make a trip to the
store, since we're out of cat treats since she's not supposed to get
any on her new diet. Oh well, Im sure we figure out a way to get her
to take the stuff. Bye for now,
