Matty J’s Midweek Pick-Me-Up comes with a request this week. Matty J has to go in tomorrow to have fluid pulled out of his abdomen. There is some risk involved, and while our vet will take every precaution, you all know how these things can go. Keep him in your thoughts, please?

The abdominal effusion is due to liver problems. He's being treated for the underlying issue, and taking Lasix for the ascites. But the fluid has slowly built to the point where he's not able to eat fully, he's having acid reflux, and he's in discomfort. The biggest danger is a drop in blood pressure, so he'll be monitored at the vet tomorrow and come home in the evening.
