Napoleon has been poisoned

More vibes going out for Napoleon and hugs to you.

I didn't dare to call the vet and I got my friend to do it for me. And the news is cautiously good. He has survived the crucial first hours. The vet has just examined him and will look at him again in a couple of hours. I spoke to the vet myself after I heard that. The problem now is whether there is any neurological damage or damage to the kidneys and liver. That may not be apparent for a few days. Meanwhile they are keeping him sedated.
Wellington has spent the whole afternoon on my lap, trying to burrow into my sleeve or shoulder. It is as if he knows something bad has happened.

I remember when Napoleon and Wellington came to you. My heart sunk when I saw the thread title. Lots and lots of get well vibes to Napoleon. May he pull through with no lasting effects.

You both are in my thoughts and prayers today! Please let us know how he is doing.

Well at least there is some good news for today. Keep getting better, Napoleon! to you and your Meowmy.

Sending lots of healthy and healing vibes to little Napoleon. And lots of to his Meowmy and brother who are so worried about him.

Sending lots of good health and strength vibes to Napoleon and to you Jenny.

Napoleon's in my prayers, and you are both in my thoughts.

I'm pleased to hear that there has been a positive report from the vets! I hope that Napoleon continues to fight and heal!

I'm so glad that he is doing better. Get better Napoleon, your brother and Meowmy miss you!

, Napoleon! Jenny, you both are in my thoughts. My heart sank when I saw this thread, and I'm so pleased that the vet is cautiously optimistic. What an ordeal!

I'm crossing my fingers in hopes of a good outcome. My fav SIL's dog twice has either eaten rat poison or eat something that ate the poison. They rushed her to the vet and is still alive and well after these two episodes. I know the website about.com had a topic about rat/mice poisons.

I have just been to see him, following my own visit to the nurse that was postponed from this morning, and there is reason to hope on both fronts. Poor Napoleon is unconscious, but the vet said the crisis period was almost over, and he has been eliminating a lot from his system. Poor guy was filthy at both ends and wet, so I am glad he doesn't know about it. The vet said that the worst danger now is brain damage, as he thinks we probably got him in time to avoid internal organ problems. Anyway, I am going back tomorrow morning early with a blanket from home and some cleaning tissues and things and I will try and clean him up. And then there will be something that smells of home for him.
And the nurse does not want to see me tomorrow - she says my head is finally beginning to heal and I can deal with it at home and see her on Wednesday. So tomorrow I can concentrate on my poor cat. The others know he is missing - they are crying and won't leave me alone. Thank you all for the vibes and prayers. It means a lot. The next thing is to persuade all my neighbours not to use poison - now we have 5 cats hunting in the hamlet, they should be able to control things. I would not wish even a rat to suffer the way I saw Napoleon suffer this morning.

Oh Jenny, it must have been so hard to see your baby like that The vet has given you positive news, so let's focus on that and of course we are all keeping the vibes coming his way. I am glad that you will have some time to spend with him tomorrow, and the blanket from home will surely have some familiar smells on it. Can you maybe sleep curled up with it tonight? Some of your scents would be best for Napolean, that way he is reassured that his mom is right there with him. One of your tshirts would work as well.
Please tell him that all of us cat people are thinking of him and love him

On a side note, I am very glad that your wounds are healing up. Having that nurse come in was a tremendous help!

I am praying and sending healthy vibes for continued good news about Napoleon.

I thought I would post a couple of pictures of him, in happier times. I just pray I get my baby back, just as he was. He is such an intelligent, funloving cat.

Oh what a doll baby!!!!!

Aw, he is a beautiful boy! And so BIG! He will be just fine, he has so many prayers and {{{}}} good vibes going for him!
