Complications

Ok, before anybody mentions it, I know this blog has been pretty cat devoted lately. But, that's just what's been a major focus for me lately, and this is my blog and I get to write about whatever I want. Kidding, but seriously, I'm freaking out here.

This morning I woke up to The Boy telling me that Rorschach missed the litterbox and peed on the floor. I got up to clean it up. He's never done that, but he did just have surgery and he was wearing a cone collar, so I didn't worry right away. But then I went back to bed and noticed that there were little spots of blood all over the comforter (he slept with me most of the night). I got up and there were also some blood spots in the livingroom. I checked and he's bleeding from the incision. He's also noticably more lethargic than usual, and his third eyelid was showing (which is a dead giveaway that something's wrong).

So, I checked the post-op care sheet and it said to call my regular vet if discharge from the wound happened. I don't have a regular vet. So I call the one closest to me, which does come highly reccommended, and explained to them my situation. They instructed me to take him to MADACC since they're the ones that did the operation. MADACC instructs me to bring him in and now I'm just waiting for the vet to call me, which won't happen until around 11 or so.

I'm really worried now because he's alone and in pain and probably scared. I'm really regretting the decision to have him fixed. Especially if this is a big problem. My mom thinks that it's just his surgical glue didn't hold or something easily fixed like that. I really hope so. Because I'm so freaking emotionally attatched to this cat. I love him.

So, now I'm going to guiltily try to get some sleep while I wait on the phone call from the vet. I'll update this post to let everyone know how it goes. And I promise, my next post will have nothing to do with Rorschach.
