**Week-End from Hell**
I've had to be off line since Friday and am furiously trying to catch up.
We've decided to decorate the lounge, as we have a new suite delivered on 15th Feb. So in the midst of making arrangement - Friday morning, I caught Dan having a crafty spray in the bathroom and what he was spraying was blood !!! So Mummy goes into overdrive and calls the 'white coats' office to get an appointment - 5.15 OK? - You bet!
So we get him there and he behaves like a little prince - he was so good even when having his temperature taken (owwie!) and his tummy and kidneys pummelled - even when his manly bits were being inspected!! Good news - it's a bladder infection. Two injections later we're taking him home - and he fell asleep in the 'porta prison' - a first!!
Following the 'white coat; instructions we put him in the spare bedroom - with his own water and food and of course, litter box. We were told to watch him carefully and if he either couldn't 'go' or looked in pain we had to return - straight away to the vets.
He's been on two tablets a day, and taken them without any fuss or trouble! Then this morning as I took the litter box to clean it he must have been 'caught short'! So he went on the black polythene the box had been on - and it was as clear as clear could be!!!
Course he's in seventh heaven 'cos he's on tinned food (more water content), and even being 'solitary' hasn't bothered him at all!
We let him out at night and he wanders between our bed and his bed!! When I woke on Saturday he was on my head and snoring gently!! Sunday morning he was between me and Don!!
So what a week-end - trying to strip wallpaper, tend to a poorly furboy, shopping for a new carpet and get the new wallpaper and paint and attending a friends 60th Birthday - I'm so glad it's Monday and all I had to do was go to the dentist!!!!! :rolleyes:
