Tomorrow I take Boo in to have Dr. Pierce show me how to give the Epogen. It will be 53.98. I will have to run by the pharm, it is packed in ice, and take it to Dr. Pierce to keep cool for me, then run back home and get Boo and take him back up there. We will have to do weekly blood tests @ 16 dollars to keep an eye on his anemia levels. She would also like to take a creatinine reading which my other vet never did except for the very first blood panel back in March. Anyway, great news, Boo got up on the bed with me while I was sleeping and I petted him for as long as I could before passingout, but he laid down next to me for a bit. Now he is sitting on the arm of my computer chair purring. He is showing much happiness today. He enjoyed his outside trip this morning. I am glad that the new outdoor male (Boca [Abra la Boca = "open mouth"]) did not attempt to attack him or anything. He rolled around on the walkway and watched with interest, but Boo basically ignored him.
Things are goin well! :)
