Snowy Is In The Hospital

I’ll write more tomorrow, but here’s a brief report on Sir Snowy.

Snowy has to stay in the hospital at least overnight.  He has a high white cell count, pancreatitis, high liver enzymes, increased blood in the urine, and also, one of his kidney stones has grown bigger in the last ten days and is showing up brighter on the x-ray.  (Meaning that it has become more “dense.”)

Since he has eaten and drunk very little in 36 hours, he’s very dehydrated and will be on IV fluids and antibiotics all night.

The doctor said we would be called immediately if there’s any change during the night; otherwise, we’ll hear from them in the morning as to whether or not he responded to the treatment and what’s next.

I keep looking around the house waiting for him to show up. But he doesn’t.

And I miss him.
