more Morgan
Morgan has basically quit eating more than a few nibbles over the last couple of days. He threw up water yesterday morning. Obviously he was yelling for a good reason.
We went to the vet this afternoon (the new vet -- I can't go back to the old vet again, I just can't -- and Morgan hadn't been to the old vet in a very long time, anyway), and I like this guy. He's taking things slowly. A little bloodwork to eliminate some things, and if it doesn't come up positive on something (like kidneys, or thyroid, or some cancers), then we'll probably do an x-ray to see about other things.
At that point, if there's still no diagnosis, then I guess I'm going to make a decision. He agrees with me that getting aggressive trying to diagnose an almost 18-year-old cat is not a good idea (unlike the Old Vet).
Oh, and I'd forgotten to wash the cat carrier out after Linnet's last trip in it, and didn't realize it smelled until the vet noticed it. I'm sorry, Morgan. It wasn't anything like poo or pee, just, well. Anyway, it's out on the back patio now, waiting to be hosed out.
Sigh.
They're supposed to call me about the bloodwork results tomorrow.
