Cat rambles

The results are back... The good news is we can stop the trimethoprim sulfa Melbcat is allergic to, as the bacteria (enterococcus faecalis) is sensitive to doxycycline. That's an antibiotic she can tolerate.

The bad news is that her kidney values are slightly up which could be kidney disease or just the uti. Also the bacteria is resistant to the trimethoprim she's been taking so I've been torturing her with that for no reason. This poor cat can't catch a break. q90

I've got the doxy and obtained discounted gravy beef from a shop close by so I can make some plain broth. I have to wait until tomorrow morning to to start the new antibiotic.
