1 down, 8 to go

Our calico cat, Ana Nicole, has had a real tough time the last little while. She was her normal self until about 3 weeks ago when she started vomiting after every meal. We had recently changed her food and thought that was the problem. We changed her food back to her regular diet, but she just got worse and it was obvious that she was really sick. We took her to the vet on Tuesday and yesterday she had open abdominal surgery for a perforated bowel. She had a small bowel resection with anastomosis. This is a big surgery for a human and even bigger for a cat. Ana spent the night in the hospital last night, but is home with her personal nurse tonight. She is doing very well considering what kind of week she's had. She's a good kitty and we wanted to at least give her a chance. We are just thankful that we are fortunate enough to care and provide for her this way.
