As mentioned on Friday…
…Tobi has been really, really sick.
I walked into the den on Friday morning while getting ready for work to find {TMI} vomit & poo poo on the carpet. Something {the poop that is, sometimes vomit comes with hair-balls} Tobi never does. I then went to look for him and ended up finding him in my brothers room peeing in a corner…he then laid down and started breathing labored with an open mouth.
To say i freaked out is a complete understatement.
. . .
When i got to the vet they were abel to see him immediately {i was so thankful} and the vet ended up telling me he was in anaphylaxis and was in critical condition. He was at the vet from about 8am-6pm…poor thing was absolutely pitiful. I was able to bring him home friday night but was not able to un-wind or calm down the entire night. I slept maybe three hours total and was up and down checking on him and seeing if he was still breathing, if his gums were still pink…etc.
It was a rough night.
The gist goes as follows:
I had to give him half of a benadryl twice a day for three days. That didn’t happen. #1 i tried to use a pill pocket {it’s worked before on him} and he was not having it. #2 i tried to “pill him” and put the pill down his throat, that didn’t happen. #3 we used liquid benadryl…absolutely pitiful.
Here is a little insight for you, benadryl is extremely bitter to cats and causes them to drool in MASSIVE quantities and makes you think they are really, really sick.
. . .
It’s been a rough few days but he seems to be pulling through and returning to his old self, so for that i am extremely thankful. Yesterday he even chased a frog, woop woop!!
Thank y’all for your sweet comments/prayers/thoughts sent out to Tobi & myself. Seriously, y’all were so fantastic on Friday when i posted that it made me realize how much i really lean on everyone here. I’m so thankful that i’ve found people to connect with in so many different areas of the world!
I’m sorry i haven’t responded to emails/read blogs/commented this weekend, but i will be doing my best to catch up this week.

How was y’alls weekend?
Did you get any decorating done?
How about cleaning?
Maybe you were lazy for a day?

So glad to hear everything is on the upswing! I had to give my dog Benadryl before and quickly learned it is one of the hardest things ever to give a pet. They DESPISE it!
