I'm not exactly sure why a game about building an empire of crack whores has a pet care subforum, but hey, I can tell you about what happened a couple of weeks ago without having to make constant references to my thug-life...
So I have this cat, and last month she turned one year old. A few days later, she found and ate some painkillers, and some orchids. She stopped eating after that, and started acting very subdued. Her breathing was heavy and laboured.
Took her to the vets, but her bloodwork came back normal. They figured it was a respiratory infection, and gave her some antibiotics.
The next day, after some serious gangbanging, I got back to my crib, and she was vomiting, and there was blood in her stools. She will eat just about anything that isn't electrified, so I figured she'd swallowed something that was shredding her insides.
After a shoot-out with the po-po, I took her back to the vets, and this time insisted on an x-ray. It's a good thing that I did...
The x-ray revealed that she had a hole in her diaphragm - a congenital condition not uncommon in her breed. While this isn't particularly dangerous, somehow the hole had torn, and her stomach had passed through it, and was resting on her lungs. She was only going to last a couple of days, with or without surgery, but I insisted that they operate anyway.
To ease my worry, I called a couple of my bitches, and passed the time snorting coke off their naked bodies, and having 3-ways.
Finally, I got a call from the vet. When they opened her up, it was worse than they'd previously thought. In addition to her stomach, her spleen and pancreas had also gone through the hole and were in her chest. Incredibly, halfway through the surgery, she actually started breathing on her own - long before they expected to take her off the respirator!
I won't bore you with the details of having to spoon-feed her during her convalescence, so suffice it to say, she's made a full recovery, and is back to being a full-time attention-seeking pain in the arse, and I can get back to being the badassest pimp in the hood.
tl;dr - my cat got sick, but is all better now, and I managed to make a whole post without talking gangsta!
