That is not needed. This was only a small drink. She was probably a
little dehydrated from eating only dry food the day before. The 20 mile
ride to the vet would stress her out a lot.

I think that's wise. We also have a 20-mile trip to the vet, and that
in itself
is a major stressor for a older, pampered house cat. Most cats' blood
glucose level will even show a spike at the vet's office simply
because of the
stress involved. One drink of water does not a crisis make.
But I bet it *was* weird to see her drink water for the first time.
Isn't she the one who has issues with arthritis? (Completely off the
original
topic, but I thought I remembered her being on glucosamine back when
Yoda was)
