Update on Neo

Although Neo seemed to feel a lot better in himself yesterday when he got back from the vet, this morning he seemed ill again. He wouldn't eat the fresh chicken I cooked for his breakfast, and was sitting as close as he could to the radiator, or hiding behind the boiler... So I took him back to her this morning (looking no doubt like mad cat woman.. I had Noah in his usual seat at the back of the double buggy, and Neo in his cat box sitting in the front). It was a really good way to transport him though, as that cat box isn't so easy to carry.

She took his temperature, which was quiet low..and to anyone who knows HOW they take a cats termpearture, you can imagine it wasn't a very dignified affair. It was made worse by the fact that she also gave him an anal enema to try to help him to ummm 'go'. The cat litter box has been suspiciously empty for at least a day,and if he doesn't pee by 6pm this evening I've to call her again. She also gave me the number of another emergancy vet in case I can't reach her... so here's hoping he starts to pick up soon.

She can't say what's wrong with him other than it's a general bacterial infection. The poor cat is quiet ill though, that's for sure :(
