Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Some little purrs for Bandit
Hi all I know we're all purring for Four and Charlene and for Ginger-Lynn and...so many things but any small purrs for Hugh's owner Bandit? It's probably nothing to worry about but... Some of you may remember Bandit, last October Hugh was walking home at about midnight (He works long hours) and saw this kitten chasing leaves in the middle of the road so worried that she was lost he took her in (He says it's funny that's the only time he's seen a cat or a kitten in that street- probably relieved at that he might have taken them all in!) turned out to be about 2 months old loaded with worms and covered with fleas. Hugh didn't particularly try and find her previous slaves if she had any (She arrived completely house trained bar the odd accident so she may have had) since 1. If they could lose a kitten and not tear the neighbourhood up to find her they probably didn't care 2. The vet nurse said no-one should be allowed to have a kitten and let them get so worm and flea laden Anyway Thursday was her big day. She went for her spay This morning his flatmate Marc (The guy who was saying "We can't keep her - we can;t afford 3 cats" last October and is now well trained to obey her commands) took her back to the vet. They didn't think she had peed since Thursday morning but she is very discreet about that sort of thing and when the vet examined her. she had an empty bladder so presumably she's been using the litter box when no-one was looking or peeing somewhere else. But no poop at all since the operation and although she was eating a little Thursday night and Friday morning she then stopped showing any interest in her food, which is why she went to the vet She doesn't have a fever. Vet has given her an antibiotic shot, some other shot and some brown paste stuff which judging by the performance getting her to eat it, didn't taste nice! Then told Mark to take her home but if she hasn't pooped by Tuesday or she gets worse to bring her back. She is running about like a maniac and ambushing Hugh's other cats so we hope it's not serious But if there's a spare purr or if anyone knows what it might be? Cheers Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I'll go for the purrs (and dooks from the ferrets) as I don't have any idea what it might be. Maybe she just wasn't feeling too well after that spay and will start eating again over the weekend. Hugh should try giving her some whipped cream or whatever special thing she likes to start getting her interested in food again.

She waas eating until yesterday which was one thing that was worrying Hugh And can you tell me what it means when you say "dooks from the ferrets"- I keep meaning to ask Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Dooking is the sound that ferrets make when they're playing :-) I hope Bandit starts eating soon.

All cats who are having problems, and their slaves who love them, deserve purrs, even if some problems are worse than others.

I know about the nasty tasting stuff in the tube the v*t gave you. Mosey got some of that. Was it for furballs? Mosey and his longhair sister Sqweex really hated the stuff. It's called Laxatone, and it's tuna flavored. I tried giving it to him 'once, I just smeared some of his paw so he could lick it off, and what did the little stinker do? He peed on the bottom sheet on my side of the bed at 3 am. Then the next day, he pooped 'outside' his box. Now, he's 'constipated' again and I may have to give him some with the syringy thingy TED gave me. IDK. Anyway, again, major purrs and prayers for Bandit. Poor baby. Give him a gentle kiss on the top of his head from us:) Hug Kyla --and silly Clowder "Matthew" ... > purrs in route with some prayers along with them > "Lesley" [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] >> >> Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs There are always purrs, lots of them headed Bandit's way.

Nocturne stopped pooping, peeing and eating after her spay. We took her to a different vet and they found she had a hernia...the inside stitching had come undone inside her. The first vet had used expired thread to sew her up inside and the end had let go! She had another surgery, to correct the hernia and get rid of dead tissue. But she still wouldn't poo. Her bowels were slow to get started and she would get plugged up and couldn't force the dried stuff to get moving. She had two enemas. She was eating, though, and so we fed her this slop that was one half wet cat food and one half pumpkin pie filling. The fibre in the pumpkin made her go. That was the end of the problem, though she was suspicious of wet cat food for years afterwards. I hope this is not it, but if it is, it's fixable. Many purrs, particularly from Nocturne. --Fil > Nocturne stopped pooping, peeing and eating after her spay.

Did you manage to get any settlement from the first vet? The least they could've done was pay for the second surgery...

Hmm, I could get a ready made pumpkin pie from the bakery (on sale for 2.99), and offer Mosey some off my spoon, when I finish. If he's hesitent about it, I'll put a small amount on his nose, he'll lick it off and either go YUM or glare at me and huff off. Thanks for the idea:) And the fiber in the pie filling is good for us too:) > Well, no wonder she's the Queen of Darkness! I would be if that had > happened > to me. Did you manage to get any settlement from the first vet? The least > they could've done was pay for the second surgery... > > Joyce No kidding, Joyce. That is just NOT right IMO. Poor Bandit, having to go all thru that :( Kyla --wonder what Sqweex wants..she's talking from the kitchen using her 'Mimzy' voice. Purrs for Bandit to be suffering from nothing more than post operative discomfort. Oreo tapered off of her eating for a few days after her spay, but was also just as active. (I just love it when TED says to keep 'em quiet.....HAH! ) After about three or four days, she was pretty much back to her normal pattern. Healing purrs and good thoughts for Bandit, and good thoughts for Hugh for taking her in!

Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Great news! > Bandit is eating and has now gone into her litter tray and produced > the desired result- Big time! We never got anything from the first vet. They were a vet school, and the humane society had them do all their animals. That was why the spay was free. They said they had no obligations to do anything. They did offer to see Nox, but I didn't trust them, and had already taken her to someone else. Two other vets told us she was just sore from the spay and to leave it. I am glad we didn't listen. It was clear she was in serious distress. THe third vet was the one who agreed to see her, and when he found the hernia, operated as soon as he could. Nox has a massive scar on her belly and bites, bites, bites anyone who tries to touch her stomach area. I don't like to share this story because I don't want people to think a spay is a bad idea. It was a freak accident, but it happened. --Fil > Nox has a massive scar on her belly and bites, bites, bites anyone who > tries to touch her stomach area. Ouch. Poor Nox. > I don't like to share this story because I don't want people to think > a spay is a bad idea.
