Nobuo's Horrible Day
Poor Nobuo had a horrible day yesterday. Early in the morning I brought him to the vet because of a possible nasty constipation problem (which is a lot worse than it sounds). It turns out he wasn't constipated at all but his bladder was plugged up. The vet did vettish things and unplugged his bladder and I brought him home in the evening. He got progressively worse until he was shaking and rolling around unnaturally, which made me very nervous so I took him to an emergency vet. It turned out his bladder got plugged up again and due to his diabetes, how much he didn't eat, his infection, and the insulin I gave him, he was in hypoglycemic shock. An IV of dextrose perked him up very nicely. I visited him twice today and he appears to be almost back to his normal, affectionate shelf (if you ignore the tubes going in and out of him). He has to stay at the vet a couple more days to make sure his bladder is fully flushed out and doesn't get plugged up again.
