Here is my sweet kitty Snuggles. Friday morning he was outside for about 2 minutes. When he came in he started throwing up. He threw up twice but I thought he was just working out a hairball. By the afternoon he was just sitting around and not acting like his normal spoiled self. I was concerned but I thought he would be okay in the morning. When we got up he was worse. Just laying around lethargic with his eyes closed and when I picked him up he was just limp. Being a holiday weekend my vet nor any other vet in the city was working. So I took him to the animal emergency hospital, they are open 24 hours a day. The vet came in and said he couldn't say what was wrong and wanted to admit him into the hospital, take blood work, x-rays etc. I knew I wasn't going to leave him but I waited for the estimate. They wanted $655 ...I said what are my other options. So they gave him a shot of some kind of Pepcid for an upset stomach and some fluids in case he was dehydrated. I told them I would take him home and if he got worse before my vet came in on Monday I would bring him back. By the time we got home he was already feeling better. Started getting back to his normal self as the day went on. Turns out he just had a little heartburn. $112 for heartburn lol. Next time I'll just pour some Pepto Bismol down his little throat.

Sick kitties are always scary! I know the anxiety. Seems they like to pull the sick card out of the hat on holidays. It's really pretty inconsiderate on their part, I think. But I'm sure they find it amusing to toy with the humans.
