(September 6, 2008)
Joey and I had to take Harry to the Vet the other day...and you know us; there is never a dull moment around here.
Harry hasn't been eating for a few days, and he was whining when he'd try to go to the bathroom. I suspected a hairball stuck in his intestines, as he was also vomiting nothing but stomach bile, and had no appetite. (SCARY, if you know Harry!)
So we took him to the vet, and Dr. Clancy examined him, and tells us his 'anal glands' on either side of his anus were full. (Full of WHAT I didn't really want to know!)
So the good doctor took Harry into the next room, and we heard our poor fuzzy boy SCREAMING for a full thirty seconds in pain! I broke into tears, and was ready to burst into the room and rescue my poor kitty from the clutches of Dr. Evil.
Within a minute or two, Harry was back in the room with us, and Dr. Clancy said he just 'squeezed' his anal glands to excise the stuff inside, and now he should be fine.
As I held my now shaking little guy in my arms, Dr. Clancy went to pet him, and Harry let out a hiss and took a swat at him. The doctor seemed a little put off that Harry didn't like him.
I said to the Doc, "Well, what do you EXPECT? You just milked his ASS!"
So needless to say, Harry is doing fine again, acting normally, and eating like the little piglet he was before his Anal Adventure.
