Vet City

I'm posting this from the vet I was referred to after yesterday's and this morning's visits to my normal vet. Mom took me in yesterday because I was walking funny and not able to jump like I used to. Turns out that's the least of my worries. My bladder is way too full and I'm not peeing as much as I should (considering diabetes makes me thirsty and I drink like 2 gallons of water a day). Anyway, my normal vet manually got me to pee yesterday by sticking a catheter in me. I was so mad that I hissed at mom once they delivered me to her. That's the first time I ever hissed at her. I think she's scared of me now. :) Today was a checkup to see if my bladder was less full this morning. It wasn't. They were worried I wouldn't make it through the night so they referred me to a specialist that is going to run a bunch of fancy, expensive tests on me. Hopefully they can fix my bladder issue without needing surgery. If not, they have to take into consideration neurological problems, which means CAT scans (literally!), MRIs, etc. Right now I'm just chilling and waiting for the new vet to finish a few emergency surgeries. I'll post when I know more. Oh, and don't ask mom how she's holding up...it makes her cry. :( Pics to follow when I can get back to my computer.
