Bless his little heart, and yours too. Thank you for the update.
Hopefully Gonzo is on his way to a full recovery now.

Gonzo Hasn't Eaten In A Week...
- Thread starter Gonzo's grandma
- Start Date
We have a whole Poop Cheering Section here for a couple of members and their cats!Who knew that a cat pooping could make you so happy?!
Dear Heavens. This worked out very, very well, however, as he was well-hydrated and his organs in much better shape because of it when this happened. I'm so pleased that they were able to remove the blockage, and are keeping an eye out for your wallet, as well! Truly a wonderful clinic.
Let us know how Gonzo is doing.
So glad he came thru the surgery and is doing well. Great news that he might be able to go home tomorrow.
Thanks for the update.

Gonzo is home and on the mend...

Poor baby, he has to wear the Cone of Shame! I wish I remembered where I put the instructions for making a little sleeve tummy protector from a tee shirt! If I can find it, I'll post it for you.

While we were on a trip he stayed at my son's and chewed on an exercise mat...
Needles...for some reason, cats LOVE needles! I keep mine in tupperware containers, and carefully inventory them every time I sew! Yes, they get into everything!

Thanks for the idea. I actually googled it and found some instructions and made one but it seemed to make him restless so back to the cone. Well, the cone kept mysteriously coming off ;-) but Gonzo was not showing any signs of licking, biting or scratching his scar so we let him go without it and he is doing fine.

What a good patient he is! Now, if he'll just keep his toofies off of random strange items!

Forgive me for boring you with Gonzo's updates. He is healing well, the bruising has subsided and his starting to eat better. Not sure how he achieved this pose.
Boring they most definitely are not! I wish the best for the poor little fellow. Get well soon little buddy.
Never, EVER feel that you need to apologize for updating us on how a cat is doing! We LIVE for this stuff, seeing a cat we worried over doing well. We'd be disappointed if you didn't update us regularly about his recovery.
Gee, I got busy and didn't manage to come on line for a few days and look what dramas I miss. Poor little Gonzo, he really has been through the wars. What a relief he was at the vets and under observation so they could respond rapidly when needed. It is great that you have kept coming back to let us know how Gonzo's recovery is going. That recent posed photo of him suggests he is feeling fairly comfortable despite the scar and that must be a massive relief for you. Keep us up to date on his progress, and hopefully news that he no longer shows any interest in foam mats....
Yay!!! Gonzo can do the stretch!!! Thank you so much for the updates - please let us know how he is progressing. People from the world over read these threads in search of ideas and advice for their cat. Gonzo's thread will remind cat guardians to think about more than the obvious (constipation, cancer) when dealing with potential blockages. Good detective work - who'd of thought of an exercise mat being the culprit
Prayers and vibes for speedy healing, Gonzo

Have you heard of the suitical cat suit? I have a couple on hand for my cats. I'll see if I can link you to amazon with it.
How cool is that? I just added it to my Wish List on Amazon so I can find it quickly for people here! LOL...there are some very odd things on that list for that very reason!
