Been a few days since our last update, but things are looking pretty good! They removed the drain in his belly on sunday morning, then discharged him from the hospital sunday afternoon. He wasn't eating in the hospital so they thought he may do better at home, and they were right!
He's been...
Went to visit Murray again today and were still looking good! Vitals are all good, the drain in his tummy is slowing down, so they'l probably be able to remove that soon too.
He's not eating just yet, but were like 36 hours post op of intestinal surgery, so hopefully soon he'll get his...
Another quick update: I got to go see him!!!! Murray is doing well. I was able to visit him last night and he purred up a storm and gave a ton of kisses!! As of this morning, he's still recovering and we're not out of danger yet, but we've made it thru another night. Bloods are normal so they...
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers for my little buddy. I truly believe its helping so please keep them coming!!
He's out of surgery. The Dr. said he's in critical condition, but stable. She did seem a little guarded on his current condition, though. Basically what happened is he...
We got the ultra sound results back. They found a foreign body in his intestines and we had to rush him to the DR for surgery asap. Dr is hopeful so I'm trying to stay the same. Should have an update around 5pm tonight. Anyone reading this, please keep Murray in your thoughts and prayers...
Small update. The vet did his ultrasound and more bloodwork yesterday and kept him overnight to keep him on fluids. His white count is slightly elevated and he also has a low grade fever now (103). Hopefully we'll have the ultrasound results back soon, but I'm really fearing the worst.
Quick update, no success with 3 different kinds of baby foods. Cold or warm, he won't eat. Vet had to reschedule ultra sound to tomorrow, and they're most likely going to keep him overnight to give fluids/medicine and monitor. Once the ultrasound is done, we wont have the results for at least...
Thank you both for your support. A small bit of history that i forgot to include. About 2 years ago, he had to have abdominal/intestine surgery for a foreign object (hair tie and some carpet fibers.) They were able to remove it, he healed up and all was fine. Since then he's had two flare ups...
So, we went back to the vet this morning. He got another round of anti nausea/anti acid along with a steroid injection and we scheduled an ultrasound for monday/tuesday next week. They also took blood to test for thyroid issues.
I asked the vet about syringe feeding, she said to hold off on...
They did prescribe special food, which I've made available to him, too. Its Hills ID digestive health. He's not a fan of it at all. He won't even sniff the can.
We've got an appointment at 1130 today, so hopefully the vet can shed a little more light on the situation.
Hello all,
(There's a TL;DR at the bottom of this)
My 9 year old male cat has had a decreased appetite for about 6 days. It started with a bit of vomiting and a small bout of diarrhea. He's been to the vet twice so far. The first time the vet said his belly was sore and swollen. They gave him...
