Thanks @ mrsgreenjeens I had not seen before that your avatar rotates your photos. Rosebud looks quite a bit like your cat with the white bib. Since I had not noticed the rotation before my thoughts in rapid succession went: I am hallucinating again just like when she was missing and thinking...

@hompeicker Curious as to why you are interested in this topic and why you ask for "no judgments" - but perhaps that is only judgments of those who post. I was fortunate before I adopted my three cats several years ago that I got some of my cat education from helping be with and care for 8 cats...

@AbbyNTimThanks for detailed info on your exp. with cat poop diameter for your cats, very helpful to me. Sure confirms that Rosebud who now only weighs 5.5# is probably well within normal range for her size and body buils (also confirmed by second vet I had consulted with today). Glad your cats...

Glad to hear of the good progress. My experience with "energy work/healing" is that everyone has some natural ability and intuitive feel for this. Training builds on that and certainly can increase ones skill and effectiveness, yet it is best to asssume that you, me, everyone already has some...

Good that you are leaving something with your recent scent. Cats are pretty emotional beings (like you!) as well as being very telepathic. While you might not see this as an opportunity from one perspective it is - practice sensing him at a distance and feeling that connection that is ever...

Rosebud is going to be just fine. Thank you all for input and support. Just got back from seeing older 2nd vet with lots of surgery exp. He looked at xrays from other ver; watched her move; did external exam; saw the stool samples I brought in; put her under anesthesia to make sure colon had...

I would consider NOT giving any pain medication, or only small amounts. Resting quietly, limiting movement, and probably especially climbing and jumping I believe would be very helpful for your kitten. Pain when we move is feedback that that was not a good idea and a kitten learns quickly what...

Thanks for responses and suggestions, I am exhausted and Rosebud is doing better with each 6 hours that go by and late this afternoon had her first poop which was extremely small but then again about 3 hours later and this was perhaps 1/3rd size of her typical BM so good progress there. She is...

The no food or water is also because if they need to operate on him then he needs to be free of food for 12 hours but last water cold be more recent. So sorry to here and sending light to you and your four-legged one. 

Norachan thanks again. She is doing remarkably well, peeing, grooming, drinking, gaining a little weight, complaining about being confined to a small space (to limit her activity). Still waiting for her to poop but since she was so empty some vets have said it might be as much as 5 days...

Rosebud is 6 year-old spayed indoor/outdoor (American long-hair former city street) cat who was AWOL for 13 days and made it home on her own yesterday morning. Vet who has reputation of being excellent says surgery is option as well as letting things heal naturally, but in either case the...

@dahlia @norachan Thanks, very helpful and re-assuring. My cat is on raw food diet that I prepare to which I am adding extra moisture in comparison to what she is used to. She is not on pain medication, but will probably get some and give it to hr today. I am dong various homeopathic remedies as...

Too early to call vet. My cat was missing for 13 days & came home 24 hours ago &  has fractured hip. How much should she be eating and pooping? She saw vet yesterday; has eaten small amounts and while she has peed some she has not yet pooped. She is indoor/outdoor cat so is not too stressed over...
