Thoughts for Roy

superbadgirlOn Sunday, Roy started being gaggy, lethargic and just not interested in food (soooo not like him). This continued through yesterday and today, so I took him to one of the animal hospitals nice enough to be open on this day. His bloodwork came back fine, but as soon as they rehydrated him and got some food into him, he barfed. The doctor isn't sure what's going on, could be he swallowed something that is stuck in his innards. No way to tell today.
I could have brought him home and had someone try to monitor his food, drink and poop, but that didn't sit right. I had to leave him at the hospital. In a room with a bunch of stranger cats (boarders, not patients, so that's something). Sad and hunched over and ... I nearly lost it, I'm not going to lie. This is such a horrid time for something to go wrong - not being around is really weighing on me. :(
So anyway, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. Be safe, be happy and please if you can, spare a good thought for my poor sweet Roy, stuck in a cage in a hospital.
