I woke up with a headache and my day got worse from there.

Boo cat, aka Mushi, my fifteen year old cat that I've had for the longest even though Jasper is much older. Had two poops in a row, where he vomited at the same time and the poops had blood in them.

We called the vet as soon as they opened but it was his surgery day, so they scheduled us for noon. We put Boo in the carrier and then about 20 minutes into the 45 minute drive get a text that the surgery is running late so... We have an appointment at 2:30.

So now I'm playing the waiting game. I didn't go with because my headache is getting worse and Mushi will scream the whole damn time.

Trying not to dwell on all the awful things it could be when it's very likely that he just has a bug or had constipation and hurt himself.

He had good numbers in December.

Last week it was warm but now it's cold again but tomorrow it'll be warm.

I know I had other things I wanted to type about but... I am anxious.

ggt

Got an update from Ian. Boo's liver enzymes especially the ggt are high. He's getting a medication brought home.

According to Google:

GGT is also important in nitrogen metabolism and is found within liver cells. High levels indicate bile duct obstruction, liver disease, pancreatitis, Cushing’s and can be caused by high levels of steroids. Low levels indicate starvation and malnutrition.

We can rule out steroids and the sentence about low levels. Vet didn't mention pancreatitis (something Ian and I have experience with Pywhackett nearly died with it and our Joey died in the hospital getting treated for it when a brain tumor was discovered when he had seizures).

The medicine is to rule out infection and we're waiting to hear from the radiologist. He's here with us and we're hoping it's just an infection.
