for real when the doc gives 
I'm sorry this has been such an ordeal for both of you. I'm glad you got to bring him home. I'm sure that being home (with you, Jay and Ginger) will speed his recovery. Hugs to all of you.
.....At least that's going right! He just looks so bad, though. Oh, did I say that he has been on pain meds this whole time? Well, I was joking with the vet saying, *oh sure, will he be like going through withdrawls tomorrow?* We both laughed, but she said if he seems to be like in pain, to call her and she would see what I could give at home if need be....
And that he seems to be doing pretty well, all things considered. I think that now he's home, he will recuperate much faster! 
Keep us updated!
....I have to be back to work in the morning early, but get off at 3:30, so I will be calling the vet on my break again, expecially if he won't eat in the morning and take it from there.....I hope he eats in the morning....When I think about it, he went in on a thursday, ate good for me on saturday, they said he wasn't eating hardly anything the next two days, I guess you would say, then he ate monday......I don't know....just seems like that's not enough.....And it's the way he is acting....He pee's but then lays there with his leg up like he is waiting to finnish or something..... It was a small amount but he ate it.....Also, DH said he saw him eat a tad of the dry food this morning when he was getting ready for work....I called today on break, and they said that she wasn't in yet, that they would pass my info.....Vet called me back this afternoon and we talked for a good half an hour....She told me to watch for dehydration, and told me what to do, then she said she is putting him on a very small dose of steriords......He will help with calming his insides down.....Any more changes, she wants me to call....He is peeing, but it still has a tad of blood in it. Thats okay.....
Wonder if they have that pet insurance.... 
Likes his canned prescription food, and even likes/drinks the distilled water that some cats won't touch! We go back to the vet on Wednesday, so I will see what she thinks then.....I sure am getting tired of that kennel, but he seems fine in it still.....His eye looks really good, too....I can't tell if he is still peeing blood, though....Last time I saw blood was I think on thursday....But he is going pee, so that is good......It's the durn poo, that I don't see much of.... 
He is still on the meds, and that is usually easy to give to him.... So glad he's doing better, and his eyes are looking good, that's a good sign. 
Curtis is home and that is the best news we have had in days. I'm betting everyone is glad he is home and we can get a good night's rest now? Thank you for keeping us all informed. Get some rest now.
