Uhg, so far it’s not been a good day. We woke up to find Percy had been hurt badly. He was hiding in a corner behind my desktop, he has blood dried on his nose and in his mouth and thus he was having issues breathing. We don’t know when it happened, but I feel terrible. Late last night I thought I heard a yelp, but I also thought it could be something on TV.

The best we can determine, one of the barriers set up to keep the dogs out of the cat pan/food areas was knocked over and came down on him. This has basically been one of my worst fears. We used to barricade the dogs when they were little in a section of the house and I was always afraid it could happen then too. The cats are a little overweight, and when they jump them they sometimes have a habit of taking down the gates and such.

I took him to my vet this morning and they put him in an incubator to help him breath. There wasn’t much else that could be done, the vet hadn’t arrived yet. I returned home, watched some TV, took a nap and waited for a call. Had a nice dream that everything turned out okay, hopefully that will be the case. We ended up calling the vet about an hour ago since we hadn’t heard anything. The vet had looked at him once, but had surgery and was in surgery when we called. He wants to examine him when he gets out of surgery again.

If there was internal trauma/bleeding, at this point I don’t think he’d still be alive since he’s so small. So that’s good. However he lost a good bit of blood and had a convulsion this morning while we were waiting for the vet to open, not so good. There is no telling if this will leave him with permanent damage of some type 🙁 I feel guilty, if I had gone home yesterday with the dogs then maybe this wouldn’t have happened.

My head just hurts as I’m sick with worry.
