She eats Science Diet (the only thing she will eat), and has a PetMate
fountain.  She had k/d dry for nibbles, but doesn't eat very much of
it.  

I thought I got off lucky with her getting sick during office hours.  
But she started to howl again and I ended up just now taking her to the
ER.  She got a shot of an NSAID and she seems more comfy, but she's
really weary of being manhandled.  I fear for my life once I go to bed.  
LOL!

Here's a new question.  I had to take her to the ER because she was
still in paid for the UTI, and the vet gave her a Metacam injection.  
I was just googling it, and everything I found said DO NOT USE ON
CATS.  Is that something that has changed?  I'm pretty miffed about
it because she sold me Metacam drops to give her as well, and it
looks like one of the major side effects fro cats is kidney failure,
and I TOLD her she had kidney disease.

I called our regular vet and she said no more than one drop per day,
but I'm thinking I won't give her any unless she's expressing agony.  
Heck, I'd rather risk and half baby aspirin before this stuff from
the sound of it.
