Kitty's Under the Weather


I found a scary lump on my kitty's stomach, and took her to the vet last week to get it checked. Poor little thing has a hernia which will need surgery. :-(

The operation isn't scheduled until May 6. She also has a heart condition - well controlled with medication - but the vet wants her on a super-duper high octane medication for a month before doing the surgery. So I have to keep a VERY close eye on her in the meantime, and hope things do not go awry. If she gets worse, they'll just go ahead and operate and we'll hope for the best.

The good news is that she doesn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort at all - in fact, I'm not sure she's even aware of the hernia. She's probably just wondering why I'm fussing over her so much.

Keep your fingers crossed, okay?
