Results of synovial fluid tests for Kasane

My vet called with some good news for Kasane. The synovial fluid test and culture came back today. Preliminary culture results are no growth. Yay! The ultrasound of her joint fluid looked clear with moderate synovial thicking. 

This is some of the best news we could have had because it means that there is no bacterial growth and that the joint damage from this whole issue could be minimal. 

Apparently, Kasane also liked the water with the molasses in it the best. 

She will be home soon, too. Best. News. Ever. 

I’ve been out to see her several times. Every time she perks up and yells at me. I always hate leaving her there. It’s been getting chilly so I brought her blanket out as well.

    I have pictures of Isis all over my cube. Her face is the background on my cell phone. I carry several hundred megabytes worth of pictures of her every where I go on my MP3 player. It is almost impossible to express how much I miss her. It’s like having your sanity in another state……
