Well, that was interesting.
Jun. 12th, 2003 10:27 pmSo today I had to take our dear Count Archibald to the vet again. His foot was really swolen and he was limping on it, the poor thing. His allergies get taken care of and then this.
Anywho, I got home from school (more nows on that later) and took the cat to the vet. I took Jess's idea and wrapped him in a towel, which he didn't seem to mind as much as he minded the oh-so-scary ride there. When I went in, I found out I'd have to come back at about 4 and try to be worked in, so I went back home (it was almost 3, and I didn't feel like waiting an hour-plus), and ate something, and went back. I discovered en route that the safest way to travel with that cat is to let him sit in my lap. Elsewise I'm fighting to keep him off my lap, and that's more distracting than just letting him sit there.
When we finally got into the exam room place, the vet took one look and told me that Count Archibald had gotten into a fight and been bitten on the leg and foot. The leg had already let loose all the infected fluid, but the foot needed to be busted to let off the pressure and get the infected goo out. Needless to say, the poor kitty really didn't like that. I had to help the vet and an assistant hold him in place, and then the vet gave him a shot and me a bottle of medicine. I get to try to get an eyedropperful of medicine in this cat's mouth twice a day, whee! But he feels better now. He even, a few minutes ago, finally came out from under my bed! He has stopped scratching all the bald patches, and the sores are all healed, and even the scabs from those are gone. Poor thing, it must have been terrible to itch so much that you make yourself bleed... but at least he's feeling a lot better ^_^
Ok, now my school news... Yesterday we took a test... This professor, McCurdy, gives really weird/hard tests. Our first test in Astronomy, the material was really easy, just about the sun, but the class average was something like a 55 or 60. I lucked out and got a 70-something. The next test was worse, then things started getting better and the class average finally broke 70 by the end of the semester.
Well, the class average on this test was a 70... I made a 95! Woot! I feel really smart. After class, I was sitting in the hall, waiting for my lab class, and he walked by and asked me what my major is. I explained that I was going for a combination of Astronomy and Computer Science, and he just said "Good. You're a smart girl." I gaped. Hee hee. I mean, he's not a person who's obligated to say something like that, ya know?
Anyways, yeah, I had a pretty good day. Though I haven't tried to give the poor cat it's medicine yet...
