All our best to Rascal. My "baby" George (7 years old, 22 lbs.) is at the vet right now having a mass biopsied :( I'd appreciate everyone's best wishes for him, as I still feel like you all probably saved h0p's life.

Poor Sam will be lost without Rascal being here tonight. That is his bud. Again prayers and purrs to George also. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm Dee, What??!! I have missed some posts, I didn't know George was having a medical problem. I hope all turns out well. Sherry > Dee, > > What??!! I have missed some posts, I didn't know George was having a medical > problem. I hope all turns out well. Hey Sherry, thanks. I haven't been on much because I was ill for a while, it's crazy busy at work, and my home computer is in pieces! About four weeks ago I found a small lump on George's side behind his left elbow. Both of the vets who have seen his suspect it's benign, but I certainly can't chance it! you know the kind of luck my poor cats have had with their health. George went in and had the lump removed yesterday, and it's being sent to the lab. Poor guy has a huge shaved spot on his side, and an incision three times the size of the original warty thing! We sure hope for the best. Dee >> Dee, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >Dee Oh, dear. Double purrs going out to George. Try not to fret too much, Dee.

I think a great many of those things are. Thanks Sherry. With h0p's illness (they just put him on yet another medication - that's six twice a day), and now the addition of Ceili with her heart problem, another seriously ill cat might send me over the edge! George is doing well today and not messing with his stitches at all, so ...so far so good. I'm glad your little Yoda is ok! Did people leave the group because of all the spamming? I'm missing posts from a quite a few people I'd come to look forward to hearing from! Dee >Thanks Sherry.

I'm glad your little Yoda is ok! So glad to hear that George is doing well. Will continue to keep him in our prayers and purrs. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm >My baby Rascal whom is about 20 weeks old is going in for spaying now >that she has reached 4 pounds and I would like to request your prayers [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm Purrs for little Rascal. I'm coming in late on this thread, so I guess the surgery is probably already done, but do give us an update. I always really hated to take them in for spays and was glad when it wass over with.

Her buddy Sam will be happy!! Last evening he wandered the house "crying" like he was looking for his playmate. At least he will be able to see her (Rascal) tonight even though I will probably keep her seperate tonight so she will not be running and jumping. I will be glad to have all my babies home again also. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm Glad things went well :) Enjoy having her back Im sure Sam will >>My baby Rascal whom is about 20 weeks old is going in for spaying now >>that she has reached 4 pounds and I would like to request your prayers [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm > The vet just called and Rascal came through her surgery just fine and > can be taken home now. yay!

Purrs and prayers that the test results come back negative. >>My baby Rascal whom is about 20 weeks old is going in for spaying now >>that she has reached 4 pounds and I would like to request your prayers >>and purrs for her. >The vet just called and Rascal came through her surgery just fine and >can be taken home now. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >I will be glad to have all my babies home again also. Rascal is doing good the morning after her surgery. She is on pain meds and wants to just lay around where see can see me and sleep. When I brought her home I let her buddy Sam and her spend some supervised time together before I put Rascal in my office room for the night and Sam was sleeping outside the door when I went to bed. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm Good for Rascal. I bet by tomorrow she'll be good as new. It's great she has the surgery *over with*. Sherry >>>WEDNESDAY EVENING >>> >>>My baby Rascal whom is about 20 weeks old is going in for spaying now >>>that she has reached 4 pounds and I would like to request your prayers >>>and purrs for her. >>THURSDAY AFTERNOON >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >>I will be glad to have all my babies home again also. >FRIDAY MORNING > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm SUNDAY MORNING UDATE When I bought Rascal home Thursday evening after being spayed she stayed under the sofa and I figured she was tired and wanted to be left alone. Friday morning when I went to get her for her pain meds she tryed to avoid me by moving. When I was able to reach her she ran into the bedroom and hid. When I did get get she was real frightened and tryed to hide her head and get away from me. I finally put her in a room Friday where I could get her easy when I had to give her her pain meds. She was worse then when I first took her in as a stray. Friday and Saturday I had to help my daughter move so I was gone all day and did not get to spend any time with her and Saturday evening she was still afraid of everything. Saturday evening I threw a blanket and pillow on the floor so I was laying next to her bed and talked to her most of the night and left my hand lay in her bed. Finally she started licking my hand and purring then a while later she moved to her open bed and a little later still she went to her food dish and ate. About 5:30 her buddy Sam and Margie wanted in so I let them but she went into hiding again in her closed-in bed. I finally went to bed and left Rascal alone about 6:30. This Sunday morning about 8:00 I went in and talked to her and she finally came out and rubbed my leg and wanted to get on the desk. BUT as soon as I let the other babies in she hid. I have to spend today finishing helping my daughter move and feel guilty keeping Rascal shut up but I do not want to have to chase her to give her her pain meds tonight (Last time). Whenever I leave her alone in the spare room it takes awhile to re-warm up to me but I do not want to give her the run of the house until tonigh when I will be here to keep and eye on her. First I took her to the vets and left her in a strange place then I bring her home and lock her in a room by herself even though it is for her own good. Maybe she thinks she is being punished or abandoned or something but my daughter's moving came up at the last minute and I have no choice. Was wondering if anyone else ever had an experience like this and if so what the did? Also Monday AM I am calling the vet to see if anything happened there that might make her like this. I have had other "fixed" there and they were never like this!! Thanks for any help and / or suggestions. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm | Was wondering if anyone else ever had an experience like this and if | so what the did?

Be happy about that and give her time and more important: love. Once the painkillers thing is over she'll settle.

They are going to keep him at least overnight and "debride" (Their words) the abscess. In laymen's terms the are going to open it up, drain it, remove the infected area, put a drain tube in and sew it up. He may be home tomorrow. He will be on antibiotics and have to go back in a week. >>WEDNESDAY EVENING >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >be home tomorrow. He will be on antibiotics and have to go back in a >week. Poor Rascal. My furkids are sending healing purrs for Rascal. Did your vet tell you not to use regular kitty litter for Rascal after his surgery? When Tiger was neutered the vet said to use shredded paper for him for a week since little boy kitties squat really low and can get kitty litter in the incision. Nan >>>WEDNESDAY EVENING >>> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >Nan No she did not say anything about paper litter and they have neutered / spayed 3 of my babies now. I will bring this up when I get Rascal. Thanks much for info. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm >>>>WEDNESDAY EVENING >>>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm My vet's office staff save all of the computer paper tear-offs for just this purpose. They gave me a large garbage bag of paper for the litter box when I picked up Tiger and Tigger. Nan | >WEDNESDAY EVENING | > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] | be home tomorrow. He will be on antibiotics and have to go back in a | week. This is not good. I'm very sorry to hear that. I only realised now that Rascal is a boy. That operation should be a routine really and not cause any complications. Our Tom got two little cuts only of about 1/2 cm size each. I honestly do hope that he'll be well and back to his own self soon. Carola >>WEDNESDAY EVENING >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >be home tomorrow. She will be on antibiotics and have to go back in a >week. WEDNESDAY Well Rascal is home again after her surgery for the infection. She has an incision just about the full length of her belly (At least 2 1/2 inches long - 6 centimeters) with a drain tube on each end which are draining. She is on antibiotics and pain meds. She is eating and drinking (Not as much as usual - understandable) and uses the litter box for both duties. I try to spend as much time as posible with her while she is kept in her "isolation" room and let the other babies in to visit as long as they do not try to play with her and just kind of hang out with her so she does not feel all alone here. She goes in this Saturday to have the drain tubes removed if ready then in 2 weeks for the removal of the stitches. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm > >>WEDNESDAY EVENING > >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > She goes in this Saturday to have the drain tubes removed if ready > then in 2 weeks for the removal of the stitches. I'm so sorry she had to go through all this. Poor baby. It's not common but it does happen no matter how long you wait. It's hard when you have to do mean things to your pet like surgery, isolation, nasty medicine etc. When I went through this with Maggie I told her everything that was going on and why. I tried to convey it both verbally and mentally. I don't know if she understood but attempting to explain it helped me a little <g>. Good luck and I will keep Rascal in my thoughts. AG >>>WEDNESDAY EVENING >>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13 Little late with this update but Rascal had the drain tube removed (It was one tube that ran the whole length of incision under the skin) and is scheduled to have the stitches removed the 18th yet. She has been in isolation (except for a couple hours a day that I let the other kittens visit her) since being spayed October 30. The vet said I could let her out as long as I was here to keep an eye on them. Well needles to say they are going nuts since I let Rascal "FREE", especially Sam and Rascal who are really buds. At first it was like she was afraid to come out and kept running back in her isolation room when she seen me but now is at ease and enjoying herself. >>>WEDNESDAY EVENING >>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm Rascal just got done at the vet. The stitches were removed (What Rascal did not take out), the infection is all cleared up, was brought up to date on shot and dewormed. Now unless she gets sick or whatever she will not need to go until her yearly checkup. |
