Pumpkin carving

Have some days off here...Friday night at the clinic...wasn't that bad...it got a little crazy busy for a couple hours, but then went ok, I was still out of there around 3:30a so not all that bad. I had a small little orange kitty with a really high fever (105F, normal is 99-102) and seemed really painful around the ventral neck region...hospitalized on fluids and pain meds because owners didn't want to spend a whole lot right away - blood work showed severe infection or inflammation going on somewhere...right before I was leaving for the night the owners called and said they had found a small glass dream catcher that had fallen out of the window - they were not sure when - so did not know if maybe he could have eaten some of it?? I discussed radiographs, other testing we could do - they wanted to see how fever responded overnight and then go on in the am if needed...I couldn't sleep that night though because kept thinking if he ate the glass what we should do - it made sense with him being so painful in his throat region - didn't see any cuts in the mouth though...should have placed him on sucralfate (a GI protectant - amy have coated the esophagus some and made him more comfortable)...it will be interesting to see what it is. So my cat from the other night with the fractured back went down to Madison for surgery!! Kinda cool. Tonight a bunch of us are getting together with the two externs we have ( a girl from Cornell and a guy from UW-madison) and we are carving pumpkins and then going out for some drinks...I think there is a lot of us who have the day off so it should be fun. This weekend Kevin was up and that was fun. We went to the movie 'Dan in Real Life'...it was funny and kinda sappy at the end...but funny for the most part, I recommend it. But he had to leave Sunday to get back to his life... Gets harder each time... miss him and Cosmo a lot...
