Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day folks! And many, many thanks to all of our service men and women who put their lives on the line. While everyone in suburban Philly was having BBQs and walking the beach down the Jersey shore, I ended up at the emergency Vet with my cat Asano. Literally right after Zim and I finished a strength training workout in the garage, we walk back into the house to see my little guy vomiting all over the house. He started to sound like he was choking. After about 3 more dry heaves, I scooped him up, put him in his carrier, and off to the emergency vet we went. I was stilled donned in my workout gear looking real classy. He didn't throw up in the car and started to act normal (of course). He got checked out and X-rayed to find that he was constipated. Very backed up. Most likely from his new food that he's been on for his kidneys. He then was admitted overnight so they could give him a bunch of enemas to clear him out. We were at the vet for 3 hours plus. 

Then we worried about our trip. We are supposed to leave to go to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. What if something goes wrong, what if he get sick while we're gone? Zim's mom and my friend Lou are both going to be feeding and watching him. That's more pressure on them. The deadline to get full refund is 12am tonight. Great. I did ask the vet what she would do in our position and she told us that she'd probably would still go. Still I worry. I called to see his progress around 9pm and they told me that they cleared everything out and they didn't need to sedate him either. I could pick him up at 10pm to take him home. So the little guy is back and acting quite normal. He's already eaten and is playing a little. You wouldn't even know the guy's had 2-3 enemas. Cross fingers everything will be okay. And we decided not to cancel. Time will tell.
