My cat, Maceo, started acting lethargic Friday night and stopped eating altogether. By Sunday, things had gotten worse, so I took him to the local VCA Animal Emergency Hospital. He was hospitalized for renal failure, which basically means his kidneys are failing him. He was so terribly dehydrated his blood pressure dropped so low the Vet could barely pull blood from him.

Here are two pictures of a very tired Maceo being fed interveniously in his hospital cage. The going rate for treatment in this particular VCA hospital is $1600 for the first night and $600-800 each subsequent night.





Inside the "Animal Ward", the animals were generally sad. Dogs were wailing and cats were mewing. It's a very sad place. There are no lolcats in the animal hospital. None.


But, here are some happier pictures from a better time when Maceo was healthier! I'm particularly pleased with the shot my gf got of him wearing his Bellhop cap! Anyhow, I thought I'd share.
