There wasn't any more tests done yesterday. She got the IV fluids and we were shown how to do it and we're supposed to do it every other day, twenty times. Me and my mom are going to do it together tomorrow. We've never done anything like this so hopefully everything goes well!
The technician explained it pretty well, but I learned my lesson not to listen to a technician for advice again. On Monday we told him we got my cat grass to see if she'd eat that, and it didn't even seem like he knew what grass is. Yesterday I asked him if it's ok to give my cat catnip and he said he sees no problem with it, but then he said if she hasn't been having anything with catnip lately (toys) then not to introduce it because the vet said not to introduce any new supplements, but can eat whatever she wants. I also told him about her athleticism being the same until this past weekend (she didn't eat as much since then so she needs to gain weight. Also she is jumping on tables again.), and he said older cats just want comfort. Soon after we got out of the vet we took her to the park and she became lively. The other technician was a lot more friendly and didn't seem like she wanted to get things over with. I think my cat will be fine with catnip. She also ate (or tried to) eat grass in the park.
So yeah. Could a technician know answers to your questions? Sure, but stick to the vet, especially with serious matters.
