Bad news, I'm afraid.

I took Bilbo to the vet because of what seemed like a little kitty-cold, but she's actually quite sick. Dehydrated to the point they had trouble drawing blood, very anemic, and a mass in her stomach. They're talking FIP or maybe cancer. I had to check her in to an animal hospital.

I thought I was doing okay until I got home and realized how quiet it is. I'm still proud of myself and hoping for good news, but really, it's ridiculously empty-feeling around here. And that alone is cutting through the shock.

Spare a thought if you can. :-(

She's got good care. It's serious, but I at least don't have to worry about what-should-we-have-done. (Okay, a little, but not as much as I'd do if I didn't trust other people were taking good care of her.)

I've also got good offline support and an understanding work who basically said "do what you need to, we're calling this flex time and just let us if you need more time to get stuff done." This is hard of course but at least I have the space to focus on it, which helps.
