Well, Micawber has kept down every feeding so far today, and is looking a little more alert. He's moving around a lot (still on the floor and a little on the bed, which is low -- thanks, Jill, for the behavioral tip), a good sign. On the other hand, he lay in the bathtub, where we keep the cold water tap running a little, with his forearms in the wet spot, head down, as if he wanted to drink -- a sight that I'll admit broke my heart. I've cried more today than I've cried in the last year.
He hasn't had a bowel movement yet. Bad. If he hasn't had one tomorrow by noon, we take him back to the vet. My mother has offered the use of her Mastercard up to a certain limit, which I hope to whatever Gods may be we don't have to take her up on. The vet might recommend putting Micawber under general anaesthetic and going in to clear out his intestines manually, as it were. Oh, I don't even want to think about how much that may cost...
Plus, Girl Genius is behind schedule. We need the money from it to pay rent on our new apartment.
Plus a shift at Ipsos-Reid tomorrow, possibly while Micawber is in the clinic... my husband keeps reminding me to be optimistic, and not to borrow trouble, but somehow the worst case scenario is what has the most reality for me at the moment.
I'm so tired, I could lie down and sleep for a week.
