I called to check up on him and you're right, he's hollering like crazy... poor thing... but he survived the night away from me... and he's waking up from the anesthesia!!!!! thanks so much for responding to me!!!!!

I have to take Rambo back for surgery on his mouth... I didn't want to put him under anesthesia again (this will be the 3 rd time in 2 months).... anyway, I can't bring him in the morning, so the vet said I could drop him off tonight... He's never away from home and although he survived being...

That site is just listing the vets in my county is there a way to tell if they're a neurologist???

I'll search right now. Glad to hear it's not a stupid idea

Hi Everyone, Just throwing something out here to see if anyone's cat has experienced this. About 9 months ago my cat would wiggle his back leg when I would pet him on his face. I thought after all these years I'd found his "tickle spot". That was cute for a while, till he started shaking...

My cat is having the exact same problem. he is 17 yrs old and it started with head shaking and progressed into VERY intense scratching. He'll curl into a ball and get so involved in the scratching that he has fallen down the stairs. I've taken him to 2 vets. No ear mites. The 2nd one...

Got the pain medication... would you believe they didn't charge me for it? Also, they took out 4 teeth, but since 3 of them basically fell out, they only charged me for 1 extraction. Pretty reasonable!!!! He's mad at me, but seems to be ok, he keeps hitting his face with his paw though after...

thanks so much Booktigger!!!!! You all helped me so much!

Thank you so much WCL and Sharky!!! I'm sooo relieved, I think I'm going to cry!!!

Hi Everyone, Just got the call from the vet's office. Rambo is waking up fine from the anesthesia and I can pick him up around 3;30 today!! He had 4 extractions... not so bad I guess.... Thank you all so much for helping to ease my mind... I hope this is what all the head shaking and...

oh, one more thing... they specifically said on the instructions no food or water after midnight... I think that was harder for him than the food, he loves to drink out of the faucet...

Hi Everyone, Just got back from dropping off Rambo...Talk about nervewracking!! I feel so bad for him, he was so scared... I didn't want to leave him, especially when I have these thoughts that it was the last time I was going to see him They will be doing the blood work and if there's...

I first thought about asking if I could bring Rambo the night before (tonight) but maybe that would be more stressful for him being there alone in a weird place. I am so nervous right now... I wish it were Thursday night already... this morning at 5 am he was up and ready for water and...

You're so right about the people on here... they are fantastic...so caring... I will definitely post on thursday and let you all know how it turned out...

I just want to thank you all for taking the time to ease my mind and give me some valuable information. I feel a little better. He's been scratching more today and really isn't a happy cat... I guess I'm going to have to take a chance. BOOKTIGGER- Hearing about the 19 year old cat made me...

Thanks BookTigger, they said at the office that they always do the blood work on the morning of surgery, then based on the results they decide if he's fit for an operation. Ha! I know what you mean about not having enough $$$ for yourself, but i wouldn't have it any other way... I also...

I'll be sure to mention it (if I go through with the appt.) to the vet or the nurse when I bring him.... maybe that will mean they will pay particular attention to the kidney results.... you've been so nice, and I hope I didn't bother you too much with my crazy thoughts and questions... Both...

WCL, He's peeing pretty normally. He had crystals about 9 years ago... Do they just pee and drink more as they get older? I'm going to mention it to the vet just so he's aware of a possible UTI or Kidney problem. Thanks!!!

but they are doing bloodwork on thursday morning, so won't they see a UTI then?

WCL, the surgery is scheduled for Thursday (12th)... He seems in really good shape... he's alert, affectionate, runs up and down the stairs... The vet said if anything came up on the bloodwork in the morning, they would not do the surgery. Really the only thing wrong with him is this violent...
