Hugh at the animal hospital

I visited His Hughness this morning after a Soak Up the Booze Breakfast (not mine) at Tim Horton’s — which I’m sure has a longstanding tradition of nursing hangovers with coffee and bread products.

I brought a fresh, unopened package of Greenies with me to the vet, which made poor Hugh perk up when he saw me open his cage. The techs told me he hadn’t eaten anything and he hasn’t used his litter at all, only piddling on his towel. I suspected Hugh wouldn’t use the litter there because he has a very particular way to pee, perched on the edge of the box, and with his bandaged front paw this would be downright impossible for him.

I handfed Hugh like I did last night, starting off with the Greenies. He then moved on to the K/D, shoving his face in the bowl. Hugh won’t eat if he’s stressed out, no matter how hungry he is, so my goal is to encourage him to eat as much as I can while I’m there.
