Once again life has gotten in the way of my writing. Seems I’ve been doing a LOT of writing about Studley lately – and apparently Studley likes having the spotlight shown upon him as yet again he’s “inspired” a post.
It started on Saturday, pretty innocuously. Studley didn’t eat breakfast. At the time, I thought little of it. I’d walked toward him to give him his pill, and he ran away. When he didn’t come back and eat, I figured he was just nervous about pilling, and it wouldn’t hurt him to skip a meal. (I did get him later, napping, for the medication.)
However, he seemed fairly lethargic throughout the day. Around 4:00 p.m. he vomited. By evening, he wasn’t interested in dinner and was drinking a lot of water (highly unusual, especially for a cat on an all-wet diet). In fact, at one point, he just lay by the water dish with his head over it – and that was enough to convince me a visit to the emergency vet was warranted.
