Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Newest Vino update
Today, Dennis went to the vet and visited with Vino again while I was at work. He stayed with him for 2 hours again. Unfortunately, Vino's IV had come out of the vein at some point during the night (nobody is there 24 hours, they have someone coming in every 4 hours at night) and so all the fluids had gone into his tissues. This made one side of his body look like a stuffed sausage. They assured Dennis that he would be alright and did some massaging to get rid of the fluid build up. But Vino is still throwing up some and not eating much. He is getting anti-nausea medication and they got him to lick a bit of food off their finger. I don't have to work tomorrow, so we are both going in first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon. However, it's probably unlikely that he will be able to go home tomorrow, probably Tuesday at the earliest :-( We miss our little buddy sooooo much and I am getting quite depressed about the whole thing and have been having some pretty dark thoughts about the possiblilty of him dying. Please, please, please can I have everyone's strongest purrs for our precious little boy?  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I am telling Rusty to keep purring hard for Vino. You have to think positive. Vino can and will come out of this. He has been in good health till now. Rusty is never in robust health, and he recovered from blockages more than once. Vino probably pulled out the IV himself, just like Rusty pulled out his catheter.

(It does kind of remind me of being in the hospital when I was in college; I had some sort of unidentified intestinal bug. I had an IV drip to counteract my fluid loss, but it was so cooooold in my arm. Every time I managed to get to sleep, a nurse would come by and wake me up to fix the IV, which I'd apparently managed to cut off, which was the only way I could get to sleep ... it was a long night. They wouldn't let me call my mom until it got closer to morning; I think I called around 5:30am and she was there around 7:30, which is about as fast as you could make the drive if you jumped in the car the second the phone hung up.) > They assured Dennis that he would be alright and did some massaging to > get rid of the fluid build up.

Is it possible he will eat more when you're nearby? Oscar didn't eat or use the litterbox the entire time she was at the emergency vet's; just huddled in the corner, terrified.

Many, many purrs for Vino *and* gentle hugs for you. I'm sure Vino will make it; it's easy to worry, though. When I went to work Thursday morning, I had a vivid image of Oscar somehow getting her collar caught on something and choking ... she didn't, of course, and I'd spent a whole day with her to make sure the room was safe before I went to work, but when we're worried our minds find ways to conjure up the worst ... *hug* Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca >> They assured Dennis that he would be alright and did some massaging to >> get rid of the fluid build up.

Mandy was a bit like this at the vet, too. OK, she'd broken her jaw, so it must have hurt, but the staff couldn't persuade her to eat anything even after the surgery when they'd expected her to eat. So they let her go home, with a lot of worried instructions about making sure she ate, and her digestive system got going again. I tried thinking of her most tempting food, and gave her some squished up Vienna sausages. She gobbled them up. I put out more vet-recommended food like pureed chicken, she ate, no problem. I think she had been doing a deliberate hunger strike in protest at being held at the vet clinic, because she ate just fine once whe was back home. Maybe Vino's appetite will return when he's back home again and feeling better. SignatureCheryl >> Today, Dennis went to the vet and visited with Vino again while I was at >> work. He stayed with him for 2 hours again. Unfortunately, Vino's IV [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >fast as you could make the drive if you jumped in the car the second >the phone hung up.) I had a similiar experience back in 1999, when I had a heart attack. The technician put the IV in right at the inside bend of my elbow, and, every time I would bend my arm, it would block the flow enough that the pump would start beeping. The pump was waking me up every 10 or 15 minutes. I finally got a nurse to tape the tube to my forearm so that I could shift positions without setting off the pump beeper. SignatureJohn F.

But cats have recovered from worse. Try to give him all the encouragement you can when you visit tomorrow. Confidence that he will get well and reassurance will mean a lot to him, even if he doesn't understand every word you say. The Girls are on Full Purr Patrol alert for Vino's sake, never fear. And for Oscar's sake, too!

Oh gosh. I'm sure he looks a bit down now, but he shouldn't die because of his condition. I hope and I'm sure that he'll recover soon. He has both mom and dad, he has his new home.
