Oh thank you. He’s coming around but it’s slow at his age. But I’m happy at the progress now. I definitely reported that vet to her company and the board in the uk for review. I think it’s all biased as it’s paid for by vets. But I can only hope the “stress” of being reported makes her...
Final update : this entire ordeal took place over 26 days and the first problem is the Vet did not schedule a follow up four days post first appointment then they were busy so it was 10 days till I saw them. At that point the infection was quite bad and 95% should’ve been referred to a...
Update: saw my vet this morning. Stopping the pain meds as he’s responding too slowly - very lethargic to going to litter box. Fell asleep inside it after going. We are on day 5 post op. The incision is healing very well. But he has developed congestion mucus sounding cough. Been given a...
Thanks fab idea. Just warmed it and gave it. Must feel nicer. No lump or ball after doing it on skin. He’s just gone back to sleep and is purring first time since op
Seems crazy to need a prescription for fluids. The vet just showed me how to give the fluids slowly and 2-3 syringes of fluid every 12 hours. How do I know if not absorbing? A lump? He does have some level of kidney dysfunction but that’s expected with this age. The blood pressure is a new...
Update: so mobile vet came and gave me a bag of fluids to use. And bvit12 injection and a steroid for inflammation injection. Blood pressure was high. Gave me medication. And he said the appetite stimulant was a good call. He should feel a little better but this is a big surgery at this...
I think I I’m going to have a mobile vet come to our flat today anyways. I was up sick all night with worry that he was letting himself die from the shock to his system at this age for the surgery. This was my biggest fear from having surgery at this geriatric age.
mirtazapine. I gave him to stimulate appetite at 4am. And then he licked some nutri vit high calorie paste off my fingers willingly. I have royal canin recovery wet food. I gave him a little at 8am. Then he got up and ate a decent amount. Sleeping again now.
I just did the Gabapentin and bupa and gave him 50ml slowly via syringe of water dripping into the mouth. I’m going to let him rest. But tomorrow there is a mobile vet I can ring if needed
Do you think still sedated even three days on the first day home? He ate like a crazy cat and then the last two days no interest, but no they did not give me sub q fluids. Was just looking online, but they are required prescriptions.
