Well, everyone else has had their cat or dog to the vet recently.......only fair that I should have a turn, too.
Poor Tigger felt terrible yesterday....I could tell. He just wasn't himself. He kept trying to go poopy (sorry.....TMI, I know) and couldn't. He'd want to eat but then would lose whatever he ate soon afterwards. I have a 9:30 AM appointment this morning with the doctor that's affectionately known as "The Cat Whisperer". She loves cats and seems to remember each and every cat she treats. Tigger does not like going to the vet so I'm sure he won't care one way or the other if she remembers him or not. I wish my cats had Medicare like I do now. I'll have to transfer some funds from my EAF (Emergency Animal Fund) so I can pay for his treatment. I'm probably jumping the gun by taking him in today but cats can become so sick so quickly that I don't want to chance it. He's my baby. Please say a prayer for him.

We're home.....and I'm exhausted. Tigger seems to be doing okay. They did some blood work and gave him sub-q fluids in case he had gotten dehydrated. She said I should just keep an eye on him and sprinkle Metamucil on his food for extra fiber. Oh, and give him 1/4 of a 10mg Pepcid to help his tummy. I had already done that yesterday but it didn't seem to be helping.
I'm $154 poorer but it's well worth it to keep my baby healthy. He ate and is taking a bath in the sun now. Gracie saw the cat carrier so I probably won't see her for a couple of days! Thank you for the well wishes.
