Brindle is at the vets

Suddenly about 3:30am, Brindle started vomiting. First it was the food he'd eaten two hours before, then it was white foam. When it started to be blood tinged, I called the vets. I was in the car with him by 4:10am. At the vets, he was very compliant and purred, which is completely not him. The vet was talking about hospitalizing him, giving him anti-nausea meds and hydrating him so his system could rest. When he vomited a large puddle of mostly blood, she looked alarmed.

So, they've got him for a day or two at least. The consent I signed had four types of drugs, blood tests, IV bags, X-rays and this and that. *HALF* the payment in advance was $1044. I told her he'd been outside today so he could have eaten a bird, or maybe eaten a poisoned rat (well, there are rats around and we have two sets of new neighbors, so it's possible.) Or just been poisoned.

The vet said I could call in an hour or two. Dr. A, the vet I grew to despise, is no longer there.

Needless to say I'm worried sick. Hopefully, it was just a bad tummy ache, horrible nausea and he ruptured a small blood vessel from vomiting so hard.

He is better but still at the vets. I'm hoping he'll be able to come home tomorrow. Hopefully it's just a big expensive tummy ache.
