Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Emergency
I had to take Frank to the emergency vet today. This morning, he was straining on the litterbox, then a little gas escaped and two small, hard poops. Oh, I thought, he is constipated. I broke out the paraffin oil. Took some in a dropper, and had a huge fight with Frank before I managed to squirt a little in his mouth. He screamed like a banshee and jerked around so it was hard to get the dropper in his mouth. Some time later, I noticed he was holding his mouth open. He refused to eat, and as the day wore on his jaw swelled up. I finally called the vet school hospital, which is open 24/7, described the situation, and they told me to bring him in. He got examined under sedation and x-rayed, but they could find nothing wrong. The vet said the jaw is perfectly mobile, and not loose at all, like it would be if something was broken. Well, they sent us home, but Frank is just the same. He holds his mouth open, and his tongue in between. I was so scared that I had hurt him while giving him the paraffin oil. At least that did some good, when we got home he went directly to the litterbox and made an oily deposit, and then he peed in the other one, so that end should be good. His jaw is obviously very sore, and it's swollen. If we could please have some purrs that it heals by itself. The vet is going to ask the radiologist to take a look at the x-rays on Monday, to make sure nothing's broken. Frank wants nothing to do with me and I just want to hug him and tell him everything will be alright. He glares at me and stalks off if I come near. I'm so sorry if I caused this.

It is awful to think that your baby might be hurt, and a thousand times worse to think you may have, inadvertently, done it. We're sending purrs that everything will be all right and that Frank heals quickly and completely (and that he forgives you). Hugs, CatNipped Mega purrs for Frank's quick recovery. Maybe in your understandable hurry to get medication into him you bruised his jaw in the struggle.. If so, he'll be okay in a few days. Try not to worry too much that you caused it, if you did, it wasn't intentional. And maybe you didn't, anyway. I once killed a hen by giving her liquid medication that she needed.. She struggled and the liquid went straight into her lungs and she died (drowned) almost immediately. I felt so bad about that. Tweed >I had to take Frank to the emergency vet today.

I'd suspect that his sore mouth might well be why you couldn't get him to accept the dropper in the first place - the only time my Kensey RB gave me a hard time we later found out that he had a canine-tooth hole (from a fight with the local tombully) right through his tongue.

Thanks, Christine (and everybody else - your kindness has me bawling all over again at the computer). Frank does have some tartar build-up, and I was going to take him in for dental work in amonth or so, when he'd recovered from the last TED trip. The vet did look in his mouth, and she did scrape the worst of the tartar, but they don't have the equipment at the vet school hospital's emergency unit to do dental work - that's done in another department, which is only open during the week. One reason why I don't like going there with my cats. They have all these separate units, and if you need different things done, you either have to schedule many appointments, or at best, have to wait for hours and hours to be admitted to the different units. Of course, it's good that they have very specialised people in different fields, but I prefer a TED's where one vet is able to do it all, as long as it doesn't take huge expertise.

Even if he did get hurt in the struggle to avoid being given oil, he needed to have it! He might be mad at you, but I'll bet his tummy feels a lot better! Purrs for his jaw to recover quickly.

I'm thinking now, since the x-rays didn't show anything broken, I may have jabbed his jaw and bruised it (every time I approached his mouth with the dropper, he would suddenly jerk his head away). I know it was necessary to administer the oil, but if I'd broken his jaw, I don't think I could ever forgive myself.

The force necessary to do that would be *way* more than you could have (or certainly would have - even in a struggle) applied. I think it's more likely that he has a bad tooth (which may have be aggravated by the struggle to give him the medicine). That would account for the swelling. I know how you feel, especially with him avoiding you, but you *DID NOT* intentionally hurt him, just the opposite, you were trying to help him! Hugs, CatNipped Oh, Marina.

Try just sitting on the floor. Grant does this over every little thing. He gets this way if he plows into me when I'm getting up (it's happened several times - our timing together stinks) or when he's been hurt or feels sick. What wins him over is if I sit on the floor and just talk to him. It seems to work well. I think it makes me less "scary". > Try just sitting on the floor. Grant does this over every little thing.

It seems > to work well. I think it makes me less "scary". I did that last night, but he just slunk away. Today he seems a bit cheerier. I sat down on the floor and held out my hand to him, and he came up and sniffed it, and I was even allowed to stroke him a little. He has also eaten a tiiiiny bit of tuna and licked two minuscule dollops of sour cream off my finger (both with his thyroid meds mixed into them, so he's at least got a little of them, though only a fraction of his dose). I think he even drank a little water. I'm afraid I'll have to dose him with the syringe tonight, and then he'll be mad at me the next 24 hours again. I truly hope his eating and drinking, albeit only a little, means he is feeling better.

I truly hope his eating and drinking, albeit only a > little, means he is feeling better. Does he like cream? If he would lick some of that, it would help him poop if that is still a problem. How does his mouth look? One time I was playing with Grant with a toy on a stick and he pulled it out of my hand and then jumped off the couch with it in his mouth. OMG! I thought I had surely killed him not hanging onto that thing. It jammed straight back into his mouth since the stick connected with the floor before he did. He ran around the apartment, frothing at the mouth and sat under the bed with his mouth open a long time and I couldn't get him to come out. It was terrible, but he didn't injure himself badly afterall. Still, took a while for him to come around. I felt awful:( > Does he like cream?

One time I was playing [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > didn't injure himself badly afterall. Still, took a while for him to come > around. I felt awful:( Oww! Poor Grant. I know exactly how you felt. Frank does keep his mouth a little open, and sometimes he holds his tongue between his lips, as if to keep his jaws from closing. But his lower jaw also looks swollen. At first I thought it must be dislocated, because it is sticking out too far, but the x-rays didn't show any evidnece of that, so it must just be the swelling that makes it stick out so far. I don't know if it's my eternal optimism, but it seems to me that he is feeling a little better today. He hasn't eaten more than a morsel, though. He's peed quite a lot today, so I assume he must have been drinking, which is a relief. If he's not considerably better tomorrow (Monday), I'm calling his own TED.

The mouth hanging open is NOT good, and if he has oil > in his lungs this needs to be addressed. His mouth doesn't exactly hang open, it's just that his lower jaw is swollen and obviously hurts, so he doesn't want to close his mouth all the way. Obviously, I told the vet about the oil, since I thought I had hurt Frank while administering it, and that would be important for the vet to know in order to diagnose the problem. From Frank's reactions (he growled even under sedation when the vet touched his jaw), it would seem obvious that the problem is with the jaw itself.

Hope Frank is doing better today! > Gennie Well, I'm pretty sure he ate some food yesterday, because he came walking from their feeding area, licking his mouth, and even licking his paw a little, like he does after eating. He must have drank some water, because he made a fair-sized pee. He did seem a little more perky yesterday, but then I had to give him his thyroid meds by force again, so he's avoiding me like the plague now. I also squirted some milk (with low lactose content) into his mouth, thinking that would give some energy as well as liquid into his system. I've tried mixing canned food with warm water to whet his appetite, and I think that is what he ate yesterday, but I can't be sure. I don't want to follow him around, because he's so suspicious of me now, and I don't think he would eat anything if I was hovering near. I will be calling his regular TED today (Monday). Maybe get him in for another infusion, and maybe some intravenal nourishment.
