Back to the vet ...
Chase is back to not eating very well. I took him to a different vet finally, they actually had an open appointment for today. This vet (I can't remember her name now, I am awful with names) found a fairly high white count (which basically means he has an infection) and a heart murmur (! hopefully nothing serious... she wants to x-ray his heart at some point in the future). She was very concerned that he has lost so much weight, which I was happy for. I was getting so sick of the others just shrugging it off as nothing. She tested his blood pressure, which was good once he wasn't freaking out. She is keeping him overnight to try to get a urine sample, and to try to get him to eat with an appetite stimulant. I.. hated to leave him there. I felt like I was abandoning him. I know it's silly, but I cried all the way home. I won't even be able to pick him up until tomorrow afternoon, since I'll be stuck at work. I feel so awful. He's never been left overnight somewhere. I hope he does alright all by himself in that little cage.
