But glad he's better NOW!
Bob and I saw his regular vet last week. She did some more blood work and said it looks like everything is fine now and he doesn't even need to have the subQ fluids continued.
Something else in the fax she got from the emergency clinic that was discovered in the course of his examination and not that thoroughly stressed in their report was that there was also a large mass consisting of hair and packed-up poop in his intestine which had been blocking it up some and which they removed. She concluded that this was what had caused his pain and distress, especially since he has been doing just fine around his abdomen and requesting his tum-tum-rubs since he recovered from the surgery.
She suggested I brush him more frequently and give him Laxatone more often (they all get a strip once a week), so I'm doing that.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
