Sick kitty - worried and scared.

Sick kitty – worried and scared.

Monte had diarrhea so bad Wednesday he missed the kitty box. There may have been blood in his stool, I'm not sure. At the same time he had really bad hairballs, like nothing he's ever had before (and of course, most of his food came up with them). Several times in one day.

Yesterday it looked like he was getting better, that the diarrhea was clearing up, but I'm worried about an intestinal block. Normally he hits the cat box right after he eats, but he hasn't gone to the bathroom since yesterday afternoon. The kitty litter was moved around since yesterday, so he tried.

Advice? Help?



FYI, I'm broke. We just took him to the vet last week, WG was in a car accident, the school hasn't given me the student aid for the last three months and they're already charging me for next quarter so when it comes through there won't be anything left. And the vet doesn't bill.

What a great vet...

The most unhelpful vet, ever.

These guys are not flexible, would not advise me "if we're wrong we could be held liable" (I'm just feeling the animal welfare love…). I could tell the guy on the other line didn't feel it was urgent yet at the same time he said, as predictable as Ann Landers, "Well... you should make an appointment" (clickity-click goes the computer in the background as he brings up the appointment screen).

And it's pretty clear that if I need to be billed, they're not gonna go for it.

I'm going to keep an eye on fuzzhead then talk to WG if he hasn't used the cat box this afternoon.
