The Oz Man




I need everyone to say a prayer or two for the Ozmeister over the weekend. He's spending the weekend with the vet trying to get better.

A couple days ago, my Mom noticed him vomiting up foamy stuff and that he had only peed in the litter box twice. He would play with the water bowl and toilet and shower, but wouldn't drink or eat. Then they noticed he was getting skinny.

They took him to the vet this morning and they did some blood work after noticing he was jaundiced and dehydrated. They noticed his white blood cell count was up. His kidneys are just fine, which is a VERY good thing, but his liver is failing. They're keeping him over the weekend to pump him full of antibiotics and steroids and fluids and force feeding him, to help him through this infection. We'll know by Monday or Tuesday if he's gonna make it or not. Here's hoping for the best...He's a really cool cat.
