Arwen and Gimli

We had a very busy couple of weekends. We had 7 kitties get spayed/neutered on the 26th. It was also our week to go into Petsmart. Denver had a very rough time.Arwen took awhile longer, she was whiny, clingy, and sleepy for the next 2 days.

Everyone's incisions have been healing great. Halloween night, I was doing my routine check of everyone, and noticed that Arwen had a large bump, larger than a golf ball that was very spongy. Turns out it was hernia, late night vet visit. She has a cone on until her stitches come out so she won't bite them out. She's was whiny the first day or two, and has been clingy at times. She's bouncing back as much as she can for wearing a cone.

On Sunday, I was messing with all the kitties, getting ready to go to the Adoptathon and noticed that Gimli was lighter than he seemed before. After the adoptathon, I weighed him at the facility, and he was 3.55. On 10/30 he was 4.o. So this is huge drop in weight. He's been at Oberlin since yesterday morning. Dr Wages found a clump in his intestines. She can't tell what it is. But in her voicemail this morning, she said it was clearing up some, but is still there. So hopefully he'll be able to come home tonight and he'll be fine. He wasn't acting any different that usual, but was just getting lighter.

Aragorn is also seeming to have loose stools, and I caught him trying to use the bathroom on some towels instead of the litter box.

It's been a long week and very long weekend with kitty issues. Hopefully this is it.
