*insert onomatopeia here*
Jun. 10th, 2003 03:07 pmJust in case Sunday's debauchery wasn't enough, I stayed out until midnight yesterday with my new friend Janick, who kicks all known forms of ass. April introduced her to me, and she is now officially one of the coolest dykes I know.
So last night was "How to be gay in Montreal 101" which was really great. She played the wise, worldly lesbian to my baby!dyke, showed me all around the Gay Village, told me tons of useful stuff about legalities and legal recourse and what have you, commiserated with my (admittedly tame) horror stories of last year, told me a lot about herself, and we generally had a very good time. :)
So now I'm very, very tired.
Taking poor Gretzky to the vet tonight, as she has some kind of nasty icky brown discharge coming out her right ear (you all really needed to know that), and while it doesn't seem to bother her, it's certainly not normal. So, off to the vet for her.
I think I'll brush her before we leave so that the vet can find her amidst all the extraneous fluffy orange fur. ;)

Took the catnick to the vet, and it turns out she has an evil ear infection. It doesn't appear to bother her, though, which is the only reason I didn't really pay attention to it until recently, but the vet kind of twitched when she saw it, so apparently it's rather serious, involving blood and pus and lots of other good infection-related stuff. :(
She might also have a polyp in her ear, making her predisposed to nasty ear infections, but we won't be able to tell for sure until the swelling has gone down.
So it's ear drops for two weeks, then another visit to the vet.
Gretzky purred throughout most of the visit, except when the vet cleaned out the gunk from her ear (she sat completely still), and when the vet tried the rectal thermometer she spazzed out completely and refused to have *anything* remotely close to her nether regions. Not that I can blame her.
She had a wee bit of an accident in the carrier on the way there, but nothing too terrible, and it was easily cleaned up.
And the total? Nearly $200. Ouch.
