=(
Today hasn't been a good day. John woke us up crying pitifully and very distressed sounding. I checked him all over, feeling his feet and legs and body, and he screamed when his belly was touched. Freaking out, I called the vet and we rushed him in. Turns out he has a UTI and couldn't pee as he was all blocked up.
We had to leave him at the vets and if everything goes well, we can bring him home Monday. They're going to put a catheter in, empty his bladder and check for stones. Then they keep the catheter for 48 hours, then take it out and wait 24 hours to make sure he can pee. She said he'll have to have special food for the rest of his life.
I'm worried about him, and Barb and I miss him already. Rodney misses him too; he keeps wandering around crying for him.
