    Oscar is more himself this morning and is not grunting as he walks...his walking is normal and I can pet him all the way down his spine. The tail end was uncomfy for him last night and he was walking kind of hunched.

    Even though he came into the bathroom to get his morning pets and has some of his chirp and mutter sounds back, he is not interested in food and is lying in the front hall. Taking him in for a check.

    I did cat milk and very warm water last night twice, second time with a bit of the vet's omega oil in it. He seems more comfy, but not 100%. Will take him in to be on the safe side.

    Thanks for the good thoughts. Update later.

    I hope it's something that can be easily treated. He must still be feeling uncomfortable. Poor boy. I remember that my RB Pepper also stopped eating because he was very constipated. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    Oscar was blocked - his bladder was huge, though Dr Kirsten says it was caught pretty early. He was catheterized, and to save me money, Oscar's surgical fluids will be "continued" throughout the night. My poor boy was full of crystals, and the urine pH was very high, so I guess it's back to the vet urinary tract food. I thought grain-free maintained the pH, but I guess Oscar was not so lucky.

    The vet on duty tomorrow will call me. I hope I can bring Oscar home.

    I need to look into a chip in page or something...this will be up to $1,000. Of course Oscar is worth every cent - but Mom will need to spend $800 on glasses this month, and she has helped me enough. I don't want to keep draining her.

    Please continued good thoughts that Oscar will be well enough to come home tomorrow.

    Thank you all for caring for my baby!
