So, Mittens is finally back at home. He had been at the vet since thursday afternoon. He hasn't been vomitting at all. However, he did have some pretty serious mucus-y slightly bloody diarrhea on sunday. But his stool was fairly formed by today at lunch and he was eating and drinking voluntarily, so they let me come and get him. It seems as though whatever was irritating his stomach moved through his system. We haven't done any tests to see if the swelling has gone down, since he's eating and drinking now, because we don't want to put him through any more than necessary.
It cost his family over a $1000, so I hope this is the end of the vet stuff, for his sake and theirs. He has some medication to take transdermally this week, but we're hoping whatever it was has worked itself out. He's still being kept in a bathroom for tonight, but if all's well, I'll start letting him out and about the house for short periods tomorrow.
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who sent vibes and good wishes!!!
