"I should really find time to blog"

As I was signing in to my blog account, Nick was saying those very words. So, in the days since I have last blogged, a lot has happened. We have sod, we have a "new" bathroom, we have cleaner upstairs carpets, Nick started school and I have worked a little bit extra. We have been pretty busy at work. I spent an extra hour on Tuesday helping unplug a cat. He had an obstruction in his urethra, which means he couldn't pee. (is it ok if I say pee?) If cats dont pee for 24 hours, it could be deadly. Then, on Wed. we had all kinds of cases that were kind of rough. We had a dog that was run over by a 1 ton trailer. The only damage that seemed to be done was the dog had cancer all over her chest. Not such a great "incidental" finding. We also euthanized several pets in the last two days. BUT the most notable work event was the passing of our clinic cat. Ozzy was a purebred Persian cat. He came to us about a year ago because he had chronic intestinal issues. A week ago today he had a flair up of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). This was a flair up that, despite all our supportive care and supervision, we couldn't pull him through. His immune system gave up, followed by the rest of his systems He passed away last week very early Saturday morning. He is greatly missed by all of the staff and many of the clients. I think even a patient or two might miss him.
