Poor Slinky

So yesterday Slinky was acting very weird, Maggie heard a big bang in the middle of the night so we thought he fell and hurt himself.  I did see a scab on his rear foot so I thought perhaps that’s the problem and since it was a holiday I had no other choice but to wait and see if he got better. He didn’t…

This morning the cat looked even more lethargic and more worrying was that I see little spots of blood around the house so I called our vet immediately and brought him in just after 1.   They did an xray and thankfully there were no broken bones however his bladder was absolutely full and they discovered he had a urinary problem.

Not sure what caused this but the doctor said he saw blood around Slinky’s penis, with my OK they put him under and inserted a catheter to help alleviate the problem.  Apparently the urine was all bloody…  He’s still very weak and being unable to expel waste, the chemicals in his body are out of whack so I had to take him to another veterinary clinic where they can give him 24/7 observation.  While there the new doctor told me Slinky had a seizure and that he’s very sick and weak.  Gave the OK to keep him there for the next few days so sigh yeah that’s where we are.

Really hope Slinky pulls through, he’s the best cat I’ve ever had and a great friend to Brandon and an important member of the family.
