Cats who teach me to fly…

Before Burry went missing for three days, I knew she wasn’t feeling alright cos she refused to eat the food I gave her but she looked active and healthy as she followed me around. 

When she came back after three days, she looked so weak and refused to eat completely.  She just laid on the grass and not moving a muscle and I had to pull her out and put her into the basket. It was after 9.30 that night and most of the vet clinics were closed. The nearest vet clinic I can think of was the Companion Vet Clinic. I wouldn’t dare even to consider James Tan Vet after the incident of Po.

I knew it was going to be expensive. Upon looking at Burry’s condition, I really didn’t want to wait till the next morning. 

The vet gave her a full blood test and all her vital organs are functioning well. I told the vet we’ll do the xray at Island Vet the next morning.

The bill at Companion Vet Clinic cost $550. I sent Burry straight to Island Vet after she was discharged on the next day. Dr Tharm did an xray on her. Burry had a long stool queuing up all the way to her liver. Her stool was suppressing her small intestine and she was terribly constipated. 

On that afternoon, Dr Tharm removed all her poops. The next thing that bothered Burry was her pneumonia. She has to be force feed for three days since she wasn’t eating by herself and on the fourth day she ate by herself.

Her flu got well. Dr Tharm thought she had megacolon. What I like about Dr Tharm is she always do things step by step. She didn’t cut her colon straight. 

Burry is home with me. She eats well and poops well:). Her big intestine is working:). She is super manja. 

Burry when she was hospitalised on the 9th Feb. She is more than 10 years old I guess but if there is a need to remove her big intestine, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so. However, everything is doing fine for Burry.:)

I wonder if I didn’t send Burry to the vet, will she recover by herself and stay alive? Or will she die of a slow death? I really don’t know.
