Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Vino update
Dennis rode his bike to the vet while I was working today. He visited with Vino for 2 hours. He's doing ok, still has the catheter in and is draining into a bag. He will be ok but is still pretty out of it. He hunkered down on a table with Dennis hugging and petting him. The vet's office has a resident cat, Lucky, who is a total love slut. Whenever Vino would see Lucky sidling up to Dennis for attention, Vino would make a noise similar to Marge Simpson when she's pissed off at Homer. In the end, Dennis had to cover Vino's eyes so he couldn't see Lucky anymore. Kept him calmer. Dennis is going in for another visit tomorrow, while I'm working again. We're hoping that Vino will be well enough to go home by Monday afternoon. We really miss him. Can't even really celebrate Dennis' homecoming until the whole family's together.

Thanks for the update. Cats can get ill very quickly and often don't show any signs until they are *very* sick, so Vino is lucky to have someone like you to love and watch after him. I know how worrisome this is for you. MaryL >Dennis rode his bike to the vet while I was working today. He visited >with Vino for 2 hours.

Purrs for all three of you. Sounds like Vino is out of the woods and will be better soon.

When I got onto the newsgroup just now, I scanned through all the posts until I found the "Vino update" ones first. I couldn't take the suspense! It's amazing how ill a cat can get from not being able to pee. I had the (apparently mistaken) belief that once the urine is drained out, the cat is fine. I guess there's more to it than that. > The vet's office has a resident cat, Lucky, who is a total love slut. > Whenever Vino would see Lucky sidling up to Dennis for attention, Vino > would make a noise similar to Marge Simpson when she's pissed off at > Homer. LOL, I can just hear that! Well, obviously Vino's not too sick to get jealous. :) Purrs for a quick recovery, Joyce >> Dennis rode his bike to the vet while I was working today.

I guess there's more to it than that. Yes, that's what I thought, but apparently the bloodstream can become "urified" or soemthing, where there's ammonia in the blood or something like that. I can't remember all the details because for some reason whenever doctors talk details to me, my brain shuts down and it's all I can do to keep from passing out. Also, his bladder has to shrink back to normal size and then learn to work again. >> The vet's office has a resident cat, Lucky, who is a total love slut. >> Whenever Vino would see Lucky sidling up to Dennis for attention, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joyce Thanks :-) SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I really hope Vino gets over this well. >Dennis is going in for another visit tomorrow, while I'm working again. >We're hoping that Vino will be well enough to go home by Monday >afternoon.

I have been really busy and not keeping up with the group so I was really surprised to see this. I'm glad he's doing OK. Purrs Kathryn |
