Gau Repair

[mik3cap]

The General is hospitalized today for a minor procedure. He went in in good spirits, and should be fine. He's been in discomfort the last few days because of a partial urinary blockage (and a bladder the size of a tennis ball), so today he is being sedated and catheterized and having fluids pushed through his system to flush him out. I'll be picking him up and bringing him home at the end of the day, and I'll have to keep an eye on him and bring him in for a followup tomorrow morning.

It's a possibility that his dry food was a root cause of his blockage, but I don't think it's necessarily because of that whole pet food recall thing. However, I will be switching him over to Newman's Own organic wet food ASAP, and researching homemade food solutions for him.

Oh, poor Gau! Hope he's feeling better and peeing like a champ in no time.
