David called me while I was in class yesterday and I called him back at lunch time. Piggy wasn’t being Piggy-like. Wasn’t moving, very lethargic, etc. I’d seen him that morning and thought something was up, but was in a rush to get ready for class. He said Nano was waiting for me to come home from school to talk about taking him to the vet and I was all “fuck that take him NOW”. I’m scheduled there until 3:15 and wouldn’t have been home until after four and the vet would be ready to close by the time we got Pigz loaded up and there. So David told Nano I said to take him to the vet and he did.
Of course I couldn’t concentrate for my next class >_< But we got out early at least.
They were back by the time I got home. One of the neighbor’s cats have been hanging around lately and last night Piggy and Gray Cat decided to pick on him. Apparently Neighbor Cat Got a few licks in on Piggy. He has two bites/scratches on him but otherwise checked out fine. They gave him a shot of some antibiotic and sent him home with some pills. He’s sleeping in Sara’s room right now.
I thoguht for sure the cat treats were poisoned – all five of them were snubbing this particular bag and I thoguht maybe Piggy ate some after all and something was wrong.
If he hasn’t started eating by Wednesday she said to bring him back in, but if not then we just bring him back next week.
The vet that took care of him when he had his leg issue saw Piggy was there on the chart and came in to see him though she had another patient to see him >_< Everyone loves the Piggy!

I hope he gets his spunk back soon.
I can see why youd be worried about the treats with all those freaking animal food recalls this..err, last year. rediculous.

Yeah
I dunno if the price is an issue, but I’ve been buying 1 pound of chicken liver as treats for my cats. It’s kind agross but it’s good for them and they love it.
I hope he gets better asap that’s gotta be sad to see.

I had going to the vet, as do WeViv. And the bill is always really expensive here, and I don’ tknow why. I hope he’s started eating by today!
