Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008Tony and my IRS refund
How? How do they know? I got my refund yesterday. Today I get home from work and notice he has some tissue sticking out of his anus. Off to the emergency vets. So much for my refund. I could have waited until in the morning, but I'm really glad I didn't. The tissue was less serious that it looked but I have to watch him closely to see if he gets a prolapse - i.e. his rectum starts coming out because he has strained too much. The likely culprit of the whole thing is a UTI. They didn't run a test to confirm it, but he looks healthy otherwise and is running a slight fever for a cat - not enough to be sure if he really has a fever or if he is sick. I just know that the only time he has ever been sick it was a UTI and it got so serious so fast it was scary. They gave him a steroid shot to get rid of the swelling and an antibiotic shot for a suspected infection and I have to give him antibiotics for the next 5 days. If it is an infection, I like the idea of getting a jump on it before it gets really serious like it could in just the next 12 hours. I feel so much better about having gone and I know I did the right thing and I am glad I had the extra money to take care of him. He would probably like a few purrs though. HE got stuffed in a carrier and had to endure the horribleness of the TED and having the other cats mug him with questions when I got home He wasn't very polite when he told them to go the h*ll away! relieved, Bridget > How?

For my life pre-Joel I was always amazedhow the Universe used to conspire to take any extra money I had gotten away by some unexpected emergency - the cost was always almost the exact amount of the extra money. Post-Joel I see it differently and I thank the Universe for providing me with just what I need to cope with those unexpected emergencies (and I know better than to spend such extra money quickly or frivolously these days) > I could have waited until in the morning, but I'm really glad I didn't. > The tissue was less serious that it looked but I have to watch him closely [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > him with questions when I got home He wasn't very polite when he told > them to go the h*ll away! Aww, poor Tony. Purrs. Yowie Considering what the poor baby had been through, I would probably tell others to go to H**l too. Purrs for him. > How? How do they know? I got my refund yesterday.

Off to the [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > relieved, > Bridget Well, inspection this morning, much against his will, shows marked improvement. The swelling has gone down a great bit and the little bit that is still showing is the right color and not a bright red. He is still behaving normally. I haven't seen him drink, but I have seen him eat, so I assume that those things are normal. I may get a glass of water for him to drink out of. He loves to share my glasses of water! I am considering starting him on canned food for a while until I know for sure that he is back to normal just to make sure that he is getting plenty of water. Ideas on that would be appreciated. I don't know whether to keep everything the same just to make sure that it isn't a change that is the problem. My life stays remarkably constant so I could say to the vet last night that there were absolutely no changes - the food was constant, the environment was constant, there are no plants, no food change, no eating of human food, and no strings or thread although he doesn't eat those anyway when they are present. I don't keep cleaners that would be harmful to a cat even if they got into the concentrated stuff and absolutely nothing new has entered my apartment for 2 weeks, not even groceries. So if I change his food, that might give him diarrhea which could exacerbate the anal problem even though he might be getting more fluids. What do you guys think? Bridget sounds like you got it all covered. I wouldn't change anything right nor Diarrhea right now does not sound like a thing you want to deal with. You are doing fine, relax and breath a bit. >> How? How do they know? I got my refund yesterday. Today I get home from >> work and notice he has some tissue sticking out of his anus.
