Wordless Wednesday: The Love of my Life

Reboot

Darwin was back at the vet again today.

He had started eating again, so much that we were scheduled to get the tube removed, then suddenly stopped again.

After a very traumatic workday yesterday (those who keep after my Twitters know what was going on), I took Darwin to the vet again today. They performed an ultrasound and more x-rays, and found nothing. Their advice was to continue with the tube feeding, give him some more appetite stimulant, and antibiotics.

I had the hard discussion with the vet, and he was optimistic about Darwin's condition, as they found no signs of lymphoma.

Poor guy.

I am so a crazy cat lady

I found this neato site yesterday via Gallery of the Absurd, which is a blog that I sometimes read for laughs. It's a site in which you can upload personal pics and get them replicated in the fashion of the Obama campaign posters!

Naturally, I uploaded a pic of Darwin.

And it turned out so cute! To make your own, hit up obamiconme.com

Darwin is eating again! I still have to feed him via tube for a couple of weeks, but it's looking better! :)

Darwin (my cat) is in the hospital, with a new vet, being fed via tube. Bloodwork has been performed, as well as x-rays, with no evidence as to why he is refusing food and vomiting bile.

I'm so worried.

Sigh

My cat is sick. He hasn't eaten since Christmas, and has drank very little. He was at the vet's on Saturday and Sunday, and everything tests fine, which is leading the vet to believe that he has a virus. I was relieved, as I was truly worried that liver or kidney failure was the problem, particularly in an 11.5 year-old cat.

The vet's not worried, and I'm trying not to worry, but it's scary to think that I'm losing him. He was given a rehydration injection, and he seems better this morning, though still refusing food.

He does the cutest things!

My cat, Darwin, just now. He loves to snuggle under the blankets!
