Waiting is the Hardest Part

After a day of vomiting and just generally not being himself, it became apparent late last night that Ringo needed to see a vet. The x-ray revealed a possible blockage and an overnight course of fluids was prescribed with hopes of flushing the blockage out of his system.

Today I’ve been waiting for news on how this effort went and what the next steps are for Ringo. 

This particular veterinary hospital seems to know how hard it is to wait, and sent me a “good morning” photo from Ringo, while letting me know it would be a few hours before I would hear from the vet.

The vet called later and said the blockage seems to have cleared but the ultrasound revealed several other symptoms to investigate. He’ll have to stay another night at the hospital for tests and observation. And I’ll have to continue waiting.
