Mercy has a problem...

 She had a pleasant check up and shots during her annual exam just days ago, pending the results of urine and blood tests. Her urine revealed crystals and an elevated calcium level and though no infection is currently present, the vet has prescribed antibiotics and Forti Flora for five days as preventative to further issues such as eventual kidney infection.

Mercy is behaving normally. I am a bit shook up as Monday is a live appointment at the cancer center. Mercy's friend and pet sitter is visiting Monday afternoon and coming on subsequent evenings to help medicate her.  I am grateful to have this help.

Periscope Eyes...

 Mercy spent the afternoon crouched as if to spring in the front room, checking out ducks, squirrels. geckos and the odd dog dragging its human on via a leash. Her eyes became saucers and her little head moved back and forth so often I thought she might get dizzy.

She's presently in dreamland, a state I envy since it is after 1 AM. She's started sleeping in her stroller, right next to my bed and very convenient should she desire to push me to feed her courtesy of a flying foot.

I did some chores and read today. Groceries are due Sunday. I'm living on salads, soups and some ready-made items. My cooking gene is in hiding, it seems.

Thanks for the supportive comments. Have a good day.
