Poor Kitty! Another Emergency...
Pushkin, my almost-grown Humane Society kitten, is proving to be the most troublesome pet I've ever had!!!
Sunday night, around 1am, he had his SECOND near-death experience in less than a year (the last ER visit was just last December!). We have been letting him go out exploring for a few hours every night and this time, upon coming back, he promptly vomited repeatedly, began panting, drooling, etc.
We immediately brought him to the Emergency Clinic, which is fortuitiously just a few blocks away!
He nearly died!! Again!! His blood pressure was so low that he almost went into a coma. The vet considered his situation very grave. They performed several expensive tests and X-Rays, equaling a grand total of $1,100 altogether.
After being administered buprenorphine, dopamine, blood tests, 6 x-rays, IV catheter, oxygen tent, drug tests, several hours of hospital stay and monitoring, and ginormous vet bills, the curious little idiot is still alive. And PURRING.
Small yellow cats deserve their reputations, apparently! I'm just glad the naughty sweetie is still alive. 2 lives down, 7 more to go!! And the little squirt is not even a year old!!!!
