Thank you. She is like my child. I've had her almost half my life and take great pride that she is healthy and living happily (albeit without any hearing) a year after a death sentence. I feel so guilty that it actually got a few tears, not usual with mania. I feel even worse b/c I knew she had UTI signs but they weren't very clear and I was waiting until Tuesday to take her in (she has to get antibiotic shots b/c the liquids make her throw up blood). And then I read a vet's site where they said the most common cause of doing this is bladder pain. So not only didn't I notice her do this, and I ignored all the hairballs that are so rare for her, I also apparently ignored that she was in pain. She wasn't doing her usual bladder infection thing, I thought the few times she peed outside the box were confusion which she gets at times. Nope, I ignored things I would have paid more attention to if I weren't so manic and now she's sore and will have to have extra meds besides the antibiotic probably and also I'll probably have to get up and try to take her in early to be sure we make it on therapy day. Ugh.

I hate when I miss things and can't know if it is mania or something impossible to have noticed. I know when she did this before it was a huge surprise both times so logically I know it probably wasn't noticeable but still...I am supposed to look out for her.

Poor old thing.
