Vet scare
Whether you call it FUS, FLUTD or FIC, Horus has it. And it only cost $230 to find this out. At 8:30 this morning. After being worried sick all night 'cause Horus was such a miserable cat yesterday.
But he did enjoy his trip to the vet's office. Didn't much care for the ride there and back, but he liked the vet and his assistant, and he just loved the exam table. Rubbed and drooled all over it. He also didn't raise much of a fuss about having his temperature taken - just gave a startled, annoyed rrrowl and then laid still while the assistant held him and the vet talked to him. He also wasn't bothered with getting two shots. He was only mildly put off by the vet squeezing on his bladder to make urine come out so they could see if there was an actual blockage and to run tests on it. And he was perfectly content to lay on the chair in the waiting area while I dealt with the bill, etc.
He was definitely feeling better this morning than he felt last night. He was so much more his normal self that I almost didn't take him in after calling at 8 a.m. to get him an appointment.
Oh, in case you're interested, the little brute weighs 13 lbs 15 ozs.

Been there done that and just recently. We met the vet at 8 p.m. in his office to have the cat tranquilized and had a Cather put in his you know what. He came home the next day, but when we went out of town we put him in the vets and will for a while. He is a much happier cat. Our vet wanted us to change his diet but we can't because of the other cats and the cost. SO we are giving him something to neutralize his food so he can eat it but we have to keep that medicine away from the cat with a liver problem or he could be in trouble. OH JOY!
sorry forgot my password again
Hope he's doing better.
13 lbs!???? 8-)
