So we had another session of FAIL during Kage's medication tonight but I think I've worked out the problems for sure this time. One, warm the bag up. I should have been doing this all along, I know how much she hates being cold, but I just read detailed instructions on how to do it without contaminating the fluid so tomorrow we're golden. Also the site I found recommended slightly smaller needles that slide into the skin more easily. The ones I'm using now are about what I'd expect to see when I'm donating blood. They struck me as way too big for Kage to begin with and they take more effort to get into her skin than I'd hoped. I'm stopping at the pharmacy with a brand name and item number in hand tomorrow. Wish me luck.

On the plus side she's started eating almost normally again after a couple of days of barely touching anything. I think it's just a matter of taking more time to bounce back each time she has to spend time at the vet. Sadly just two days of not eating well has left her as emaciated and weak as she was before she went into the vet. I'm back to wondering if the whole surgery thing is a good idea or if it's just going to be too much for her to handle. I guess there's really only one way to find out, right?

Also I am cramping like woah right now. It's, as my new tv girlfriend calls it, my "dirty lady time" and this month is just kicking my ass. Sorry for the TMI, but if I'm sounding a bit emotionally unstable at the moment I suspect there's a good and very hormonal reason for it.
