Well Mizzou had a bad day yesterday! She ate a ribbon. Yup ate the whole thing. So she had to go to the emergency vet, and they used an endoscope to retrieve the ribbon from her stomach (along with a piece of tennis ball she ate too). To do the endoscopy they had to put her under general anesthesia. So she has her little legs shaved for the IV catheter they put in, you can see it in the picture!
Well the endoscope apparently upset her little trachea, because we had to go back to the emergency vet at 3 am because she sounded like she was breathing through water. Now she has antibiotics just in case it was something other than tracheitis, like food or water in her lungs which could lead to pneumonia. The antibiotics should keep that away! Poor kitty! But maybe she will learn not to eat foreign objects!

My guy hasn’t eaten anthing unusual, but he does get hairballs on a regular basis. He’s an indoor cat, so he grooms excessively and he’s got lots and lots of hair.
It sounds awful in the night … and it seems he only throws these things up at night Poor Baby
