I'm caught up and was able to bring furry Mal home for observation. The hospital wanted to keep him until he passed whatever the obstruction is, but they were done with iv fluids and his kidney levels are back to normal, so it's just a waiting game. He's had some food, so now either he passes it on his own (yay! go poo!) or he starts hoarking again and gets cut open (boo! kitty surgery bad). He looks pathetic with his shaved foreleg but far less pathetic than when i had to leave him last night with an iv taped to his leg and soft collar that made him look like a pathetic clown or demented flower. Nico is following him around, sniffing at his butt where the fur is still matted with whatever got glopped onto him at the vet hospital (i think some antiseptic for a urine draw plus lube for temperature taking.) I've tried cleaning his butt with a warm wet paper towel but he's having none of it. Too much manhandling all night. He's really enjoying sitting in front of the heating vent on a towel i put there for his lounging comfort. Much appreciation for the ~ma, please keep it coming...i really want him to stay home, safe, un-cut-open.
