Poor jo-jo...

Our little Joey started acting very sick yesterday- meowing like crazy, not eating or drinking, and he would barely move. He wouldn't get out of his litter box and even started drooling and throwing up. Poor kitty. So we took him to the vet and found out he had an urethal obstruction, which is a life-threating condition in cats and must be treated right away. They took him to surgery and cleared the blockage, placed a catheter, and started him on IV fluids.

He is now an inpatient at Cottonwood Animal Hospital and will be there until at least Tuesday. So of course we had to go visit him today to help lift his spirits. He'll be on a special diet now in hopes to prevent any future blockage. He's such a good kitty and we're proud of him for being so brave. We can't wait to bring him back home!!

Poor Jo Jo. I'm so glad you took him in!
But what's the special diet he has to go on now? What's with the pets' in your family getting fancy food? Pretty soon your mom will be at your house making him tuna casserole.
