Kitty baby

Pathetic kitty with shaved arm XD

I can already tell the difference in him from the last time. This hospital ain't cheap (Bill was $1600), but they were worth their money. He was not grumpy or loopy when I brought him home, whereas from Banfield he was groggy and flipping out and didn't want to move. Grim has bright eyes and is affectionate. He's eating pretty well (though he still won't touch the wet stuff - what kind of cat is he?!) and drinking, and he's had TWO normal pees. They told me that him never peeing more than drops for the last week was really concerning, and meant that his blockage was likely not corrected the first time. GRR!!!

They also gave me antibiotics and muscle relaxers along with painkillers this time. He's only gone to the litterbox twice with YAY success, versus all last week when he was basically LIVING in there with very little success. Of course, I was reminded a million times that he can get messed up again ANY SECOND, but I'm crossing my fingers that he's going to be good eating the special food.

I found someone to cover me on short notice for tonight which helps A LOT, because otherwise I'd be spending every second at work being worried. Not to mention I haven't slept yet - I took a nap from 11:30am-1:30pm but was too tightly wound to sleep after I heard I could take him home today.

At the moment, life is great. <3

All right! That's great~! =D (And yes, he could relapse again, but! Positive thinking!) I'm so glad that he's been able to get relief this time--and he sounds like he's recovering better than before. I'm also happy that you got tonight covered so you can monitor him. I know that *I* would be a mess at work--constantly thinking about my kitty, and freaking out that something bad would happen while I was gone.

It's great that you've been such a good parent for Grim! =D I'm really relieved to hear that he's doing better. (I've been talking/updating Brian about it (ie: text message "Grim still isn't doing any better! T.T"), I've been so anxious for you and Grim. @_@)

PS--Did the other place give you any antibiotics last time? If not, that's bad on them. D=
