Rocky update
The doc called around midnight to say they had removed something that looked like a hazelnut from her intestine. They were able to back it up into her stomach and cut that open, which was preferable from a healing standpoint. They said that once that had him open they saw a couple of spots inside and decided to biopsy them. Additional charges, of course.
Visited him at 1 PM visiting hours. While Rocky certainly seemed to be in a better state than when he went in, he still had not eaten or drank anything. I thought, well, sure, in a tiny cage with an E collar on who'd want to eat or drink? But I spent an hour with him in a visiting room and could not get him to eat his kibble, or fresh tuna, or even drink water. They thought he might be nauseous and were going to give him something for that. Also, while "better" he was a long way from his old self.
Got a call in the afternoon that he had eaten a little and we could probably take him home tonight. M has gone to (hopefully) get him.
