Very good...thank you. He is going through some additional issues now as I had him into the surgeon as his stoma didn't look right...sad to find it, it is narrowing.....not a lot of options if it completely closes. Still hopeful...

Thank you for your reply....so late in following up and this boy still has on-going issues,,,his stoma is now starting to narrow...they want to try to revise it but no guarantees......I refuse to do another surgery on this boy...he had 4 four years ago, enough is enough. As long as he is still...

My thoughts exactly.....changed vets shortly after....

One of my cats, underwent a PU, failed revision to PU, and then the PPU, all at the age of 2 and within a 3 month period. He was great for over 2 years and then had his first UTI (common after these surgeries) 2 years later, and since then, has had flare ups of urinary tract inflammation (but...

Thank you....we are still struggling and looking for a new vet.

Since my last update in August of 2018, Alex continued to do well, remaining on Royal Canin SO, and we had no further issues until January of 2020. At that time, he developed a serious bladder infection, treated with several different antibiotics (I refuse to do Convenia due to risks) and...

Sadly, Simba was put to rest yesterday, in the comforts of his home and in my arms. Lymphoma was just too aggressive and not a lot we could do. Despite regular exams, including 4 since March due to his recent diagnosis of asthma, the cancer was not picked up (normal bloodwork is not an...

Oh my, didn't realize how long it has been and forgot that I never follow-up....Alex had the PPU and, unfortunately, after he was home recovering and things were starting to look up, his incision opened up and he developed a serious infection. Back we go to the surgeon's. He underwent another...

Oh, note to White Shadow.....Cat is a Siamese cat named Simba, that I rescued 10 years ago from the Siamese Cat Rescue in Virginia. He had a sad, early life before being rescued and I've spent a lot of time working with him over the years. He grew into a beautiful, loving meezer. I've since...

The pathology report for the lymph aspiration indicates large cell lymphoma. I was going to have a tissue biopsy done, however, it was cancelled as he became sick that day. Also, because he had been on steroids for several months (for asthma which was diagnosed in March), advised would have to...

Scheduled biopsy but subsequently cancelled as he became ill with vomiting and diarrhea. Was back to normal the following day....this cat has a history of anxiety disorder (which he had when I rescued him) and believe that may have been cause as was confined to a room. Once allow to roam, he...

Indeed, it does and I wish the nightmare ends soon.

Thank you for your response. I understand delayed responses, but it was 9 days before I noticed the swelling, which increased significantly overnight, encompassing his entire leg, from paw to hip. Been on the steroids for two days now and am hoping to see swelling start to subside. On...

Thank you...trying to stay positive!

Thank you for your response. I realize you don't get lymphoma that quick, but was confused as complete blood panel just prior to vaccine was all good. I guess I'm just paranoid and freaking out cause he was fine before this. Perhaps I should focus on positive and if it is, in fact...

About 6 years ago, I lost a cat to a fibrosarcoma secondary to rabies vaccine. From that point on, I have stepped back from getting the vaccine (despite requirement by state) as I no longer wanted to take the risk and because my cats are strictly indoor cats. After getting a new vet a year...

I am happy to hear that your PU surgery was successful. I went to ER today because he wasn't peeing much at all and had concern due to full bladder and his other signs/symptoms. Was prepared for the worse since we were told before that there really weren't any options left. Was shocked when...

Hello all. I am new to this site and am looking for someone who has experienced multiple issues after surgery to unblock a cat's urinary tract. My two year old (Alex) had a urinary track blockage two months ago today. After in-patient catherization to clear blockage and his return home, he...
