Jack has been having a difficult time. He is 20 plus years old and getting OLD...with all the symptoms involved. Anyway this past weekend was a bad one for him... accidents all over, both solid and liquid and not in one of the usual many litter boxes. Lots of yowling...problems of all types.
So Bob called the vet early yesterday morning and took him for a life wellness assessment. In the vet's office he pooped and was very unhappy. The vet said maybe he was in a lot of pain and suggested a monthly pain shot ( $100 plus)..administered much to Jack's anger and unhappiness... He and the crate were being carried out to the car by the vet when he promptly peed all over.. vet...floor..and so on! Bob said at least 8 ounces!
Bob arrived home with a very angry cat who fought with everybody and Tigger (the orange cat) received the worst. ( Tigger himself got quite upset with all of this and vomited all over)
This morning he seems a little better... hungry..quiet and no accidents so far. Bob will set up another wellness check in 3 weeks and if the pain shot is helping, another one.
Late tonight Jack started wandering around and wasn't happy anywhere even next to Bob in the recliner. Bob tried taking Jack to a litter box..no deal. Bob says we'll just have to watch him...
