Off to the v*t

Princess' right eye has been a bit swollen the last day or so, so it was off the the vet with her this afternoon.

As it turns out, she's also dehydrated (though we keep water down at all times), so the vet opted to run a number of tests. The blood test broke the machine (twice!) but the others indicate hyperthyroidism. So she'll be starting a course of pills Real Soon Now.

We should have blood results tomorrow morning, and we'll know if there's anything else going on as well. She'll be 17 in May, and multiple problems are common in cats of her age.
