We'll be back ASAP!

Update: It's not a blockage, the x-ray indicated that his kidney stones are the same size, placement, etc., as his previous x-ray (when they were first detected). So it's his gastrointestinal tract, we think. I have some of the vet food, which I'm willing to try at this point, but when I get a chance I suppose I'll have to research feline IBS/IBD (if his problem falls into that category) and see what I can do with respect to food, etc. I won't tell you how much I've spent on vet bills in the past two days, but it comes perilously close to four digits...before the decimal point. It was worth it, though. The boys are worth it.

We're still around. My dad is still here today (Thursday June 20th), plans to leave tomorrow, though he's flexible.

Great trip, busy, maybe too much "peopling" for me, even though it's biological family. LOL.

I'm back at the office today, but am leaving in a bit to take Nicki to the vet. I found him crying and huddled in the litter box this morning, which has never happened before. He'd peed overnight overnight, so I think it's less a UTI, but rather more likely either his kidney stones, or his ongoing diarrhea -- maybe his butt hurts. I don't know, I'll find out.

I just had Derry to the vet yesterday for his annual full meal deal, as it were. He's gained more weight, as I well knew, and he had his urine and blood "stolen" for tests, so I'm waiting for those results.

I know I've missed a lot of your posts, probably won't be able to catch up, but I'll be back as soon as possible. If Nicki checks out okay I'll be back at work this afternoon and of course tomorrow.

I do have lots of pics from Montreal, etc., but haven't had a chance to download them all yet, never mind edit them. 

At the Montreal Botanical Gardens on Sunday the 16th.

Anyway, please think good thoughts for the boys, Nicki in particular at the moment, and I'll update when I can.

Peace.
