8 Lives Left...

its been a rough 2 days at the russell-solano household. i went out Wednesday morning to feed one of our cats (smoke, Blackie's brother) & found him lying on the ground, not moving & with one of his eyes dialated. Mike & I rushed him to the emergency animal clinic-- --- we were freaking out!
The vet started giving him B12 injections & started an IV-- I asked if whatever he had was life threatening & they advised us to spend some time with him before we left the office. They thought he might've had a stroke or some kind of head trauma.
Wednesday night we went to visit him at the hospital & they said he was in stable condition-- still wasn't moving & his eyes were still dialated. The vet called yesterday morning & told us Smokie was up moving around & doing much better. We got to bring him home late yesterday afternoon.!! He is still a little out of it & kinda weak-- but its a miracle that he survived at all!


here's a pic of smokie from a few months ago--- i had him wrapped up in a blanket & he was pissed!!

okay that picture is hilarious.

i'm sorry it is.

i am glad that smokey is better... that does sound stressful... is he going to make a full recovery?

they're not sure if he has any brain damage or not-- he's still really weak right now, so we'll know more in a few days

poor little smokey. i am glad he is okay. when one of your animals gets sick, you realize just how very much those little critters mean to you.
