Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your kindness, and Gatsby does too.

Poor boy was so glad to see me when I visited today! He would have loved for me to have stood there for about eight hours just giving him ear rubs and scritches. It was miserable leaving him there.

He isn't eating much. I suspect the antibiotics are to blame for that. And there's still a lot of blood in his urine.

My vet strongly recommended taking him to the university clinic, so we'll make arrangements for that on Monday. I hope we can keep him unblocked for long enough to make the transfer--it's about a three-hour drive from the ER clinic. The university should have the most up-to-date diagnostic tools and information about possible procedures for dealing with Gatsby's problem.
