My Beautiful Maine Coon Nicklas Lidstrom


My Beloved Nicklas.

Nicklas is my beloved Maine Coon who is 7 years old now. His namesake of course is Nicklas Lidstrom. He was rushed to emergency on Monday. After I found a trail of blood through the house. He was bleeding...for no apparent obvious reason. So off to the vets we went...during one of the icest days in Michigan I might add.
A couple of hours there...some tests...and a baggy of medicine we were off again. Waiting for results--takes a day.
So watching Nick all night...feeding in a mixture of food that is mostly human.
Fast forward to the next day:
Worries abundant because we still have Baby Sherlock..who went through his own medical hell.
A call to the vets....luckily...all serious stuff was negative. But the vet thinks he got a version of food poisoning...so we have to keep him on the human made cat food...slowly returning him to cat food.
So here's hoping he bounces back QUICKLY.
