Thank you so much for all your good !! I truly appreciate them! Nabia finally came home yesterday August 10th. He seems so alert and is definitely not as bad as I had expected him to be. In the car on the way home he was popping his head out of his carrier, sniffing the air and even tried to...

So I finally got to visit my baby at the vet. He was so disorientated! Catatonic and not very energetic. He just lay on the table, put his head on my hand and tried to lean against me. But I'm not sure if that is because he recognized me or because I was there trying to hold him. The vet...

I'm not sure if the vet is there overnight. It's not something I thought to ask... I feel truly irresponsible for not asking now that you mention it.... From what I've read and heard about this vet and the vibe that I've got from this vet I'm going to assume that they have staff there. They...

That is what we were treating him for with the prednisolone but it wasn't working. He was still vomiting and not eating. He just got thinner and thinner. When we had the endoscopy done the results came back as being indicative of IBD but the specialist said, "I would be more confident with...

Thank you so very much! I'm sort of confused as to what the vet meant with his bowel was thick and harder than it is suppose to be comment. My biology is way rusty, seeing as how I've not taken biology since high school! Is the bowel an actual body part? The biopsy he took has to have been...

So I finally called the vet to get a status report. He said they found Nabia's bowel to be very thick. The bowel is suppose to be soft but because it is so thick it is not functioning as it should. He also said that they found lymph nodes enlarged in his mesentery but qualified this by...

Sending good your way. My Nabia is having surgery today too. I've not heard back from them yet either. Hope all goes well with Shiraz's procedure!

Perhaps you might consider changing vets? If you feel like your vet made your cat worse, it could mean you need a better vet. After everything my cat has been through these past couple of months I feel like you should go with your gut in regards to your vet. And from what I have been reading...

Thank You! In May I dropped him off for a 'half day' to get his GI Barium contrast done and when we got him back he was so out of it; wonky from his sedatives, grumbling from being unhappy with the effects of whatever was in his system and being poked and prodded all day. I can only imagine...

How long has this been going on?

Today is Nabia's surgery day. He had pre-op testing and etc done yesterday. I stayed out late last night because I dreaded the idea of going home and him not being there. Cannot help but worry about him being so sad and stressed at the vet's overnight and how angry he will probably be that...

Have you ever considered lining the floor under your bed with some foil? Not the entire floor either, but just 2 roll lengths at each entrance under the bed. (Hope that description makes sense.) It doesn't have to be forever, just temporarily until your cat's nose is better. I know that cats...

Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers. We will need it! I have arranged to drop my baby off at the vet tomorrow morning for pre-op test procedures. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what sort of questions and or requests I...

Thank you everyone for taking the time to post. I truly appreciate all the feedback that I have been reading. I really didn't know where else to turn. Not many people around me are cat people and the ones that are have not had any similar experiences - everyone I had asked just told me "I'm...

For those of you who have gone through the exploratory surgery what sort of recovery time did you go through? Will he be able to jump onto the bed? Or should I get a sort of playpen area and enclose him off in that area with his blanket, litter box and etc? Will he be able to eat by himself...

I was so excited because he started eating the kibble food yesterday of his own accord. Unfortunately around 5 am this morning he threw up again. All the food. But he went back to his kibble and started eating again. I don't even know what to say or think at this point. I am so disheartened...

His name is Nabia. It means butterfly in Korean. I had never had a pet before so when I first brought him home I thought he was a girl because he had lavender eyes and nipples on his belly. He was a supermarket kitty from a neighborhood in New York City. I was calling him Nabia for about a...

Hello, I am the parent to a sick 14 year old DSH. Except for the occasional hairball issues my cat has heretofore been the epitome of perfect health. Once a year check ups was the norm for him. His entire life his weight had hovered around 14 pounds and at one point he was even weighed at...
