susandennisAs soon as I left the vet's office, I remembered questions I wish I had asked. So I emailed them. I just heard back. I wanted to know what to expect. I know what the symptoms of trouble look like and so far, there are none. But, how long of that til we declare victory.
She said: Unfortunately sometimes objects can stick around for months in the GI tract without causing a problem, and then one day they do... I am hopeful this is not the case. The object was small enough and pliable enough that I am hopeful it will pass through on its own without causing a problem. Please just keep an eye out for vomiting, inappetence, lethargy or signs of fever at home.
So... poop patrol.
He's been conked out all afternoon - glued to my thigh here on the couch. If I get up, he gets up and staggers around after me. I tried not to laugh too hard. But now, 6:30, he's staggering less and is still here glued to my thigh but kind of dozing instead of unconscious. He asked for and got a decent amount of dinner.
He usually only visits the litter box once a day - in the mornings.
I'd love this to be simple but I doubt it will be. I just hope he shows symptoms before the weekend so we can avoid the emergency vet. I don't like them and they are a bitch to get to. And they are about twice the price.
I did have a good visit with Christian but he didn't have any good poop. Everything is, apparently same old same old. He did say that the neighborhood has seen more than a few excellent upgrades and it was a much more pleasant place lately.
I also found out today that I can get a pizza cooked to go in our little Bistro here at Timber Ridge. I know I could get a raw one but I never thought about it enough to empty out my oven and turn the power on. BUT turns out, they have a little pizza oven right there. It was 1:30 by the time I got home today and got Biggie settled. I was really tired and really hungry. So I got one and had it cooked and it was perfection. Just the right size - and delicious. $12. So good.
The Mariner game just started and we are in the bottom of the 1st inning and the Mariners just hit 3 home runs. If they win tonight or any one of the next 4 games, they win their division which they have only done 3 times before and the last was 24 years ago. Quite exciting.
