Just when things are looking good...



Edited w/update at the bottom...

something happens. We have just left our gray cat, Goofy, at the vet. He has been having some urinary problems for a couple of days. The last time this happened, he got better when we changed his food. Not so this time; he is being sedated and cath'ed as his bladder is very obstructed. We'll pick him up at 7 and take him to an emergency animal care hospital for the 4th and 5th. as our vet does not have care over the holiday. He was so miserable when we left him and looked so pitiful. They will keep him sedated and give him IV fluids over the next couple of days so at least he won't be in pain and the cath should help. Any good thoughts would be greatly appreciated. These pets just become family and I can't stand ours in discomfort.

The vet was able to clear the obstruction w/o any problem and Goof is feeling no pain right now. He had a very funny smile on his face...guess that must have been some good drugs he got. He is at the emergency clinic and I was very impressed with the facility, the vet and the tech, who was a very compassionate gal. We can pick him up Thurs. am and bring him home after a follow up visit to his own vet. Hoping all continues to go well...

Those innocent, trusting eyes.....how independent they want to be, yet how we care for their little lives. Sweet babies, may they live long....

Poor little booger. I hope he is better real soon. We just love our babies to pieces, don't we, we just don't want them to feel any pain.

I hope Goof is better. It is hard when our fur-babies get sick.
