What a MAD 24 hours we have had!
Last night Mythie puked twice...
Then she started straining to go to the toilet.
So we rushed her to the emergency vet...
And he diagnosed her with suspected collitis.
The emergency vet advised that we keep her with them for a few more days...
As we are leaving for NZ tomorrow, we decided that we would rather, if she has to be monitored, we would rather she stay at our own vet, rather than with strangers...
So, this morning, we went down and picked her up and drove her over to our vet.
By the time she got there she was wailing in agony!
Anyway, our vet did an xray and there is a lump in her intestine...
A solid mass...
She's now on a drip at our vet.
(The same vet who rescued her and gave her to us)
Tomorrow they are going to try and xray her again...
from a different angle...
On the way back from the vet tonight, it dawned on me that it could be a furball! It also dawned on me that the last few weeks she has done the furball hack a couple of times....
Does any one have any experience with furballs that have caused a blockage serious enough for a vet to be considering operating to get it out?
Does anyone else think it might be a furball?
We can't think of a single thing that she might have eaten...
OH WHY OH WHO OH WHY....
