This mornings trip to the vet
Well, Orangeyabald had been acting up and was not eating so I tried to check his mouth last night and he actually hissed and ran from me. He NEVER acts like that so I knew something was wrong. So this morning I call the vet and get an appointment (I'm so glad my vet takes calls on short notice!) As I am feeding the rest of the gang just before leaving I notice Donovan is not there. So I call to him and hear him from up stairs. I look up and he's sitting in that "I'm too uncomfortable to do anything" pose. I call the vet back and inform them that TWO kitties will actually be coming in. Orangeyablad went first. He's got inflamed gingivitis, particularily on his one side, so he got a shot and has pills for 10 days. Plus I have stuff to add to all the water bowls everyday for the rest of his life. He will also be put on a wet food diet. Donovan however, is still at the vet. He has re-blocked so is having a catheter inserted and will be staying there till atleast Saturday. I feel like that is my fault as he had been doing very well on his all wet water infused diet. But a month ago I gave everyone a round of (dry) hairball food as they were all coughing them up and I fear that's what has caused the re-block. So I am kicking myself now. Here I was thinking I was helping-he still did get wet, just some of the dry on the side. I guess it was just too much. Anyways, this is my morning. And with my last night I'm pretty stressed. Well anyways, I must be off to work. Thankfully they gave me no qualms about coming in a hour or so late

Thanks guys 
Donovan is indeed home and doing well. They both are. Donovan is not too thrilled about having the pills shoved down his throst, but he takes 'em like a trooper. Orangey got off easier as his meds can be mixed into his food. They are both on a wet food diet which they now insist be MICROWAVED as they are spoiled brats 
Donovan is a dry food lover though, so I'll have to be even more careful as I think that's what caused the re-block. He sneaks away the second I blink to nab someone elses dish. I'm sure he'll try even harder now. I just hope he can keep the weight on with the wet only-as he doesn't eat a ton of it.

Lizz, sorry to hear about your boys not feeling well. I am glad to hear they are recovering. Let's hope Donovan gets used to eating the dry food. I know cats can be extremely picky about their food and also very stubborn!

Thanks!
Actually it's the dry I'm trying to stop him from eating We're pretty sure that's what causes him to block. I have to guard him like a hawk when they eat as he'll sneak away from his wet food to steal the others dry food!
