Now that Sapphire is recovering from her extractions her sister Pepper, 13,
was throwing up blood yesterday. She has gone to the vet and had x-rays and
a blood test. The blood work is normal. Something shows on the x-ray which
vet was able to feel prior to the x-ray. She had a couple shots and has
some medicine and a special drink. Tomorrow she is scheduled for a sonogram
to try to see what this is. She is a cat that takes tapazol for thyroid.
Right now she is resting and not throwing up. She had some turkey.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

Awww. PUrrs that she is fine soon. I wonder if she swallowed something. Keep
us posted.

Thanks, Karen. The vet asked me that, too. She's not really the type to
swallow something and is an indoors and deck cat. It looks like it's
pushing out from her liver and possibly could be a tumor. Of course if she
did swallow something and it could be removed I guess that would be about
the best outcome!

Oh, I hope she's okay. I hate when more than one is sick at a time. It's
stressful enough with 1 illness but 2 is a nightmare (not to mention $$). Keep
us posted.

Thanks, Candace, it's been a stressful week. Won't know results for a day
or two.

Purring hard for Sapphire and Pepper that they both will recover
soon. MLB
