The vet has been and gone, and the verdict is a muscle sprain behind Emmie's right shoulder -- an ongoing injury from three or so months ago, getting better and worse as Emmie heals a little and then re-stresses the muscle. Poor baby!!! The good news is that in every other respect, she's healthy as a little horse.
Tomorrow morning George and I have to do some bank stuff and pick up Lee's computer from the post office, but tomorrow afternoon the vet will make another stop at our apartment and drop off some anti-inflammatory drops to give to Emmie for a week or so, just to give her shoulder a chance to heal. Total cost of today's housecall: $51. Cost of the meds tomorrow: about $35. And folks that beats the charge at your average veterinary clinic by SO much, it's not even funny.
Poor Emmie... she emitted SUCH a meow when the vet palpated the sore muscle!

Gerta's sniffles have gone, but someone's been pukeing up bile. It usually happens with a minor change of cat food brand. That's why I mix different brand - in case one runs out, I have back up.
BTW.. is emmy a fan of canned cat food? I might have a few sympathy cans to offer her :-)
