[Dailydrool] Jellybean update

[jacquelynn chazey]

Poor, poor Jellybean.  She had to get another cystocentesis today, and she hates them so much.  So far, she was at the Vet last Tues (cysto), Wed (blood test) and again today(cysto), what a pin cushion.  Her infection is very specific and limited in sensitivity, ergo the second try at a culture.  I have already started the baby wipe protocol with her, and she is very good about this.  She has an abdominal ultra sound with a specialist scheduled for next Mon.  She also has a dental and a cyst removal procedure scheduled for Tues., but we will decided to proceed with that pending the ultrasound results.  It is looking like I am going to have to be giving the shots or bring her to the Vet 2x a day for 10 days.  If put to task, I hope I can be there for her, and give her the shots at home, but  I used to faint on a regular basis when I was Dad's vet assistant, and it was not from lack of trying to help.  Also, since the techs are experienced and not nervous, the they will give her a smoother, probably less painful prick.  On a good note, we are going to explore some holistic options, and Jelly's vet is going to dialogue with the holistic specialist.  
Maybe Jelly and I just need to share a glass of wine....  (please, I wouldn't give her wine, it is a metaphor... if that is even the correct grammatical term?)
Healing drool to all in need.
