Nala

Nala has a vet appointment this morning. We have to check her phenobarbital levels to make sure they are okay. Apparently phenobarbital builds up in your system and your levels have to be checked to make sure they are not too high. While I'm at the vet's this morning I'm pretty sure I'm going to ask for an ultrasound. There are times when there is something really wrong with Nala. Her eyes just don't look good. She's in pain or something. Anyway, I've decided that an ultrasound would give us an idea of what's going on insider her. If she has cancer in her abdominal cavity the ultrasound will show it and then at least I'll have a clue. Right now I just don't know and it makes me crazy. I kind of relate it to cancer patients I've known, they have good days and bad days. But in Nala's case we are not even sure it's cancer. So it's time to take a look and see. Hopefully the vet will agree and not try to fight me on it.
