My mom is doing ok. She didn’t get her eyelid stitched, the ER doctor just wants it to re-heal by itself because the risk of infection from any bacteria that might be stuck under it is too high. We’re keeping an eye on the other bites and scratches. I remembered yesterday night that we had just cut Smokey’s nails a couple days prior - I can’t imagine the damage if we’d decided to wait until the weekend.
I tried spending some time with her today, but outside of food, she’s not interested in any interaction and didn’t want me petting her - she wasn’t aggressive, more like “why are you touching me”. Most likely its the gabapentin, but I wish I could cuddle with her.
We haven’t had a chance to discuss euthanasia with the vet yet, and I don’t like bugging people on the weekend (particularly when they’re not at work), but I want to ask if I can take her in before they officially open.
