Still doing okay...

Smokey is still the same. He's in great spirits, playful and happy. The only issue is he is urinating small to medium sized clumps more frequently instead of a few large clumps per day.

So, me being the paranoid mommy I am, phoned th vet just before lunch to give her an update. I told her everything, that he seems very happy, doesn't seem to be in any pain, eating, drinking, the only thing is he is only peeing small clumps. But, I have timed him to see how long he is in the litterbox each time, and it's on average 30 seconds, which isn't bad at all.

The vet said at this point, I shouldn't be too concerned. It would be better if he wasn't emptying his bladder so often, but I need to look at the quantity he is peeing per day, if he goes smaller amounts 8 or 10 times a day instead of large amounts 2 or 3 times per day, that's still okay. Not ideal, but no real cause for concern given what he's been through. She even said "that's encouraging". So, she obviously thinks that he is likely going to be okay.

I was nervous leaving him alone for 2 hours when I went for lunch (since when I left him alone on Monday when I went to work, that's when he took a turn for the worse), so I came bursting into the house looking for him. And he was asleep on my bed ;) Probably didn't even notice I was gone ;)

So, I am quite relieved. Every day that he hangs in there brings a little more hope. The first real test will be how he does on Monday when he is by himself. I have asked my mom to come down in the afternoon to check on him.
