Just a note to let you know that my Kissie Kat is in the hospital.

We had bloodwork done on the 16th and her BUN was at 32, two points away from normal. (I don't remember the other numbers off hand but they were normal).

This past Tues, she vomitted a little and just started acting "hairball-ish." (Hairballs are always a big production for her -- they are (and always have been) extremely hard on her little system.) Sat and Sun, she was off food completely and not drinking as much. (Again, typical hairball symptoms for her.) Then, last night she started acting funny (labored breathing, at one point I thought I was losing her). Long story short, her BUN is now 180 and her other numbers have sky rocketed as well. The vet thinks that she has a major hairball which, along with dehydration and going off her Rx food, has caused her kidneys to "get really mad." The good news is, we know we had the kidneys under control so he believes this is a bump in the road.

I don't know how long she's going to be in the hospital. I went and visited her this evening and she is ANGRY but the fluids/meds have her looking better. She hasn't ate yet, she's extremely nauseated. If there's no hairball by morning, he's going to do Xrays.

It's also looks like my princess will be getting a lion cut in the near future. I'm not crazy about this but I don't want to go through another one of these episodes.

Thanks for reading - we sure wouldn't refuse any extra prayers if you have any to spare.
