This past 24hrs has been rough.
My husband and I went out of town to visit family for a 4-day weekend, and came home to a crisis. Multiple issues at once - discovered terrible mold in our home tucked into the back of a closet from a radiator, our puppy got kennel cough at daycare...but worst...
Our cat Pinky, was acting off and was trying and failing to use the bathroom. His urinary tract was totally blocked. He's been hospitalized since yesterday, and they also discovered he has a heart murmur. He's only 2 years old. He's being seen by a cardiologist, but it is possible it is heart disease, worst case, heart failure. I am devastated and trying hard not to assume the worst.
He is my little baby. Sweet as pie, total momma's boy, a bit mischievous, and persistent food hog. I love this cat with all of my heart.
How have you dealt with your pet's health problems? I feel guilty, trying to figure out if I caused something....and so sad that he doesn't understand what's happening and is scared and alone.
Pinky Day 1
...this was after 2 baths! He was found on a construction site. I stayed with him in our tiny bathroom for days as he recovered from parasites (couldn't be with our other pets)
Pinky caught bein' naughty
Pinky with his best bud, Noodles
