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...

The original vet didn’t monitor the ulcer properly and let it go on too long before referring to specialist.

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.

The surgery was Wednesday, and today is Friday the last two days he has not done anything but sleep not eating or drinking. How long did take zuko?

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

I’m in uk. It’s closed now

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.

The tent goes back down. I have insulin syringes I use for his arthritis injection

Should I try to do sub q fluids at home ? Vet is closed over weekend

He had fantastic health before this which is why it kills me. I did see the new vet the day after surgery Thursday. And going again Monday. He is narcoleptic. He takes two steps and then goes back to sleep.

He’s not on much. I gave him antibiotics 2x a day. Gave him bupamorophinr in morning but not the evening as he’s been asleep all day. I gave a bit of water and liquid food treat and he wasn’t happy. Acted like I was torturing him. He’s soooo sleepy. I think since we are in day 3 it’s...

I feel overwhelmingly guilty, even though I had no idea. My biggest worry is not the eye, but the shock of the surgery to his system at 18 years old. he is and has always been an indoor cat and was in phenomenal health for his age and this is just rocked him he has not really eaten since first...

Done already. The place they referred me to is 1 million times better, and I already told them I’m switching to them.
