Rio and the vet

This weekend, my parents decided to come down on Saturday and stay the night with us. We had a great time last night, we watched the Spiderwick Chronicles and went out to dinner. It was nice to spend some quality time with them. Our original plan was to take my parents to the Denver Botanic Gardens today, but....

When we all woke up this morning, Rio (one of our cats) was howling in pain. He was throwing up foam and had liquid diarrhea. He was trying to defecate everywhere BUT in his litter box, and there was some blood in it. We immediately took him to the vet to see what was wrong. After a blood test and an exam, the vet is not sure what's wrong or what he could have eaten to cause this. Rio was really dehydrated, so they put put a fluid sac between his skin and muscles so he could get hydrated. The fluid sac makes him look like he has a growth coming out of his left shoulder. They also put him on a few meds.

It is now evening, and Rio seems to be doing better (aside from accidentally pooping on Cody). He is actually eating now, but he is really tired. We have to keep a close eye on him for the next few days. Hopefully, whatever he ate will pass and he will go back to normal.
