Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Some purrs for Gilbert?
Gilbert in my youngest grandson's cat. He is a great big grey boy who lives to snuggle with his kid and his mom. When my daughter came to pick up her son tonight, she told me that Gilbert is sick and probably won't make it. He has a urinary blockage, and a catheter hasn't helped. Apparently a combination of a very large male cat and small bladder and urethra that blocks. The next step would be very expensive surgery that does not have a very good rate of success. My grandson, Ryan is of course very upset. He has lost pets before, but never one that was this much his. This is the cat that is always there to hug and love even when the rest of the world isn't going his way. For that matter I think my daughter feels Gilbert has been the only one there for her when she has had problems too. So purrs please for Gilbert. And for Vicki and Ryan as well.

Oh, poor Gilbert. I really hope he pulls through! How heartbreaking if he doesn't. It's hard enough to lose a beloved pet when you're an adult, but when you're a kid it's just so much worse. (At least, that has been my experience.) Purrs for Gilbert, Ryan and Vicki. Please keep us posted! Joyce > Gilbert in my youngest grandson's cat.

Jeanne Definitely sending purrs for a good outcome! Tripper has had blockages and crystal problems, and has recovered well from those. Two of my parents' cats have also had urinary tract blockages, and have made it through, including one complicated catheterization that didn't work initially. Purrs that Gilbert turns out to be another survivor, and stays around to keep Ryan company for years to come, and purrs of comfort for Vicki and Ryan, as well.

This is one thing I think all cat lovers should know about, because it can be so deadly within a matter of a day or so. Having gone through it with Mojo (RB), I knew right away what was going on with Brando, and got him into the ER ASAP. And thanks to you guys, I was able to pay for it. Here's hoping Gilbert makes it through. A miracle would be nice about now. Ginger-lyn Gilbert got the cath out and went home yesterday. (He did manage to pee in the car on the way home) Vicki has instructions on food and on how to help him to pee. So we really appreciate all the purrs. They may be his best medicine.

Britta probably knows everything there is to know about nursing a cat back to health after he's had a urinary blockage! It sounded like a long process - purrs for Gilbert's continued recovery.

(He did manage to pee in > the car on the way home) Way to go Gilbert! Furballs in full purr mode that he gets better and never has to visit the TED again! (I am never sure who dreads those visits more Sarsi or the TED. Dunzi just goes into some sort of trance and pretends nothing is happening but Sarsi as befits "Punk rocker in a previous existence" goes rather mad) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Gilbert got the cath out and went home yesterday.

So we > really appreciate all the purrs. They may be his best medicine. You see? Purrs can really work even when all hope seems to be lost. I firmly believe that the purrs sent helped me recover from what I was told was a terminal illness. I don't think I would be here now if I hadn't got those purrs and prayers. More purrs coming along for Gilbert from my two. Tweed "Jo Firey" <jofirey@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Gilbert got the cath out and went home yesterday.
