Took Daisy to the vet

Between this group & another cat group I belong to, the stories of how
cats hide their illnesses were getting to me. I have personal
experience with this, too, with ^Bonnie^. :( Daisy acts fine, eats
fine, her weight is fine. But almost all of her behaviors have changed
in the last few months. So I made an appointment that took 10 days to
get b/c I wanted the partner who is aggressive & a good diagnostician,
& I wanted an evening appointment.

We went last night. As he was looking at & feeling her, he was saying
everything seemed fine. Then he got out the stethoscope. He listened
to her heart for a v-e-r-y long time. This of course made me nervous.
He ended up saying that she has an irregular heart rhythm (not a
murmur). He said that cats can have this & it often is not a problem.
But of course she's never had it before. The result was that he took
blood & we scheduled an EKG for Tuesday. He'll call me w/her blood
results Friday AM at work.

So Daisy, Miss Moxie & I would appreciate a group purr that all her
tests turn out OK, & that having an EKG is not too horrible for her.
She'll have to be in all day Tuesday while I'm at work. :( Has anybody
else's cat had an EKG?

Thanks,

Katz

Oh gosh! Of course you would be. Hang in there. You know that ordinarily, it's a very routine surgery.
