I am stressed and exhausted. After my last post, Ian went back to the vet clinic while I stayed home because I was super groggy and those benches were rough wooden uncomfortable things.
At first it seemed like Miso (Soupy) would be allowed to come back home with us. It turned out he'd gotten so constipated that he was unable to pee and had some urinary tract crystals. The vet showed Ian a video where he was doing his angry meows but still wanted belly rubs because he is a friendly boy. Vet even teasingly offered money to keep him. Ian told the vet that he wasn't normally vocal so the vet second guessed himself and along with the xrays and blood work that had already been done he took another urine sample. It had blood.
So they kept my boy. I haven't seen my ginger in nearly 24 hours. He may need to be observed all day at the vet clinic tomorrow as well because they had to put a catheter in.
We were supposed to be called by the vet today but when I called back about two hours ago they were super busy with critical emergencies and surgeries because they are the only clinic open in the county I live in. I did ask the nurse to tell me how he was doing even if they can't get the vet on the line to speak medical. I needed to know how he was doing at least.
He's doing okay and resting comfortably.
So much for a peaceful start to the new year. We went for the rough start instead. I'm trying to relax and get a few things I wanted to get done but part of my heart is at a veterinary hospital. I have five cats plus my best friend and roommates cat Sebastian and my heart belongs to all of them.
Miso is my sweet charming boy. He turns five at the end of this month. He's just a charming little man. At least the estimate we've signed lists some good meds. He probably is feeling stoned out of his mind.
Hopefully the catheter is removed and we get to keep him with us tomorrow except for when we bring him to our vet for a followup and a what this means for his long term care visit. I need to see my freckled ginger son. I always prayed for a freckled ginger baby. I just forgot to specify human so the universe gave me the perfect freckled baby.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll fully resolve itself as soon as possible and that this isn't an indication for the year to come!

He should be coming home in a little bit. I'm so excited to see him. It's going to be rough keeping him from his brothers and sister for a day or two so I might let them see him first with supervision before I keep him isolated to prevent them from rough housing.
Hopefully it's a sign that we're getting the stressful stuff over with now so that the rest of the year goes well.
