We managed to whittle down Holly's estimate considerably [View all]

due to not running tests that are "not necessary at this time." Whew! The bottom line is the vet doesn't know what's wrong with her, but bloodwork will hopefully point them in the right direction. She always screams the whole time at the vet's office and she did when we first walked in and for a minute afterwards and hasn't made a peep since. She's lost four pounds since last year. Four pounds! I just noticed last week that she seems thinner; I don't know how I missed that before. I guess I paid more attention to Martini because of her health issues and didn't watch Holly as closely because she was the healthy one. I feel terrible about that.
