Espy went to the litterbox three times in five minutes last night and
appeared to be trying to poop but only a drop of liquid was in the
litter. Since his bladder was plugged up last week, it was right off
to the Specialty Vet. I gave them the whole story of last week's
action, including the abnormal liver enzymes.

The examination results were surprising. He did not currently have any
urinary issues - bladder seemed normal and no irritation that would
indicate a blockage. The reason for the litterbox performance is
unknown. However, he has a heart murmur. I don't know why my vet
didn't notice this, but neither did the emergency vet I took him to
last week.

The speciality vet also didn't think it too likely that eating
something bad would have caused the liver enzymes to be abnormal - so
what is causing that? Possibly heart problems if blood flow is
impaired.

Well, now I have more things to worry about. My vet will get the
results from the Speciality Vet and we'll figure out what to do next.
I think a chest X-Ray is in Espy's immediate future.

Worrisome. I was hoping he was "out of the woods." Please let us know how it
goes.
