so, peeps has been incredibly constipated for quite some time now. we have been making her eat laxatone (kitty intestine lube) that wasn’t helping and her tummy was so bloated and hard that she would let me massage it, which would sometimes help a bit, but as of yesterday, it was just huge. we took her to the vet and she got antibiotics for the scab on her face that won’t heal, plus ointment, if it doesn’t heal, she probably has a tooth abcess and will need dental work done, which is bad because although she looks great and runs around a lot, she is 13 or 14 and has a heart murmur. he said he would put her on a heart monitor and use gas, anyway, but still, it scares me. nextly, she got a belly x-ray and as i though, she was super blocked up. i wish i got a photo of it. she was backed up, like pebbles, as far up as you could see. so. we had to give her a kitty enema, and then, she is super fluffy, so we had to clean up her bum region and down her legs because she was all yucky. the best part? we have to do it again to-morrow. gah! poor peeps. it did get her tummy moving, but she was really upset and clearly felt horrible and sore. we kept her in the bathroom for a few hours, and she ate (she is permanently on soft food, due to the tummy issues. plus the laxatone in the gullet every day)when she came out and guzzled water and then barfed up a bunch of bile and water. she is keeping to herself, but her belly already feels deflated and back to her petite self, but i know there is more poo up there that will have to come out to-morrow. i am so not looking forward to the enema. it was called a “pet-ema” how wrong is that? it is a two person procedure and it just sucks. suck. anyway, send peeps and her ailing bum some well-wishes.

otherwise, not much. we spent a fair amount of time in the bathroom with her, or trying to clean her up, to her chagrin, but ya know.

anyway, i hope to get photos taken of some new things to-morrow.
