Banff

Wednesday, December 17th--When I took the kitty into the clinic to be cremated on Sunday, I also took Banff with me as he was not eating and he was throwing up. Banff has never in his life turned down food so I knew something was wrong. I left him at the clinic during the day so they could monitor him, xray him and determine what was wrong. I got the call that evening while at Kevin's work Christmas party. They said that there was indeed a blockage and would have to operate. It ends up, he had eaten a towel and it was lodged in his intestines. The emergency clinic had to do an emergency surgery to remove the obstruction. After the operation, the vet called and said they removed it but there was a great deal of damage and not sure if he would pull through. I have spent the last few days taking Banff back and forth between the emergency clinic at night and the vet during the day. They are watching his white blood cell count and temperature to see if he perferates. If he does, we will have to put him down.
