My 5-year-old baby is at the ER with a urethral blockage. He threw up yesterday at 8 AM and we saw pieces of a cut rubber band in his vomit so we thought it was a stomach issue. Took him to the vet for X ray and then the ultrasound at 7PM showed a huge bladder. His bladder was expressed with mucus and crystal. The vet sent him home anyway thinking it might be stress-induced. He did not get better overnight so he was checked back into the ER this AM.

This was right before I left for work, him completely drained of energy bc he’s not eaten and with a paper towel under his butt bc he was leaking urine. They catheterized him and he’s woken up from sedation but is not yet eating.

Please pray for us. Love him so much

Comforting others:

Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts? She’s spent time with me and I walked around with her while she explores. And she’s ventured solo. Seemed she’s warming up well. Except this again. I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
