more kitty issues

[swingchickie]

i can't believe it. last night, at 7pm, i found myself rushing the OTHER kitty (the older one) to the ER. after around $2500 in vet bills last year, mostly for the younger one, and almost $1000 last week alone for the younger one, she decides to jump into the mix to make life interesting. this time? an intestinal blockage. ick. after 3 hours, x-rays, fluids, an enema, and the vet having to literally reach inside and pull stuff out (owwwww), i got my $400 bill and took her home. she seems much better this morning though... somehow she escaped from the bathroom at 7am (she was supposed to be in there in case there was a mess), and she jumped up on the bed and started smooching my face like crazy. awww. i looked in the bathroom and had to laugh -- she had put all these wads of toilet paper in the litterbox! it looked like she'd tried to wipe after going. it was hysterical.

needless to say, i didn't make it to the gym this morning. i was up several times last night to check in on the kitty and barely got any sleep. wonder if i can sleep through my morning teleconference? hmmmmm. *grin*

poor kitties
is it something they are doing to get them blocked or something?

supposedly she isn't getting enough fiber. she's on prescription food now to try to combat it. that's the funny thing... it's not like both of them are having the same problems, and we can just get rid of the source... every couple of weeks, it's a completely new health issue. it's kind of freaky. hopefully this will be it for a long while... my wallet can't take much more!
