Well, Lucy ate a whole bowl of her turkey and her ears were cooler, so I
took her temp and it is down to 103.1 (from 104.5 this morning and early
afternoon), knock on wood. But she squirmed a lot while I had the
thermometer in her, and I used one of those thin plastic disposable sheaths on
the thermometer for the first time. When I took the thermometer out there was a
tiny bit of bright red blood on her rectum, and a little bit along the seam of
the plastic sheath. Not a lot-- I would guess, if put together, it was a drop or
two. She has licked her rectum several times since then, though. There is
no blood on it at this point, but I am worried that I might have hurt her with
the thermometer. Has anyone ever seen a little blood on the thermometer of the
rectum afterwards? I would think that if I had really hurt her she would have
meowed or made a noise of some kind, but I am worried nonetheless. She did go
and eat half a bowl of turkey right afterwards.
Thanks,
Michelle
