Loki needs Vibes and so do I !

Hey Folks,

I came home from working to find Loki in his cat safe room, with blood ALL over! He must have gotten his tail stuck in a blind or under furniture. I am not sure which.

Well, I rushed him to the clinic and they preformed surgery. He is missing part of his tail, since you could see the bone and stitching that area is pointless. Pointless medically, plus he would just tare that area even worse then it was.

He did survive anesthesia, which is my major concern since he is a hybrid (I know a lot of you will fight me on the issue that he is a normal cat). But so far, so good. I am staying with him tonight, then I will take him home tomorrow. Cone and all .

Vibes that he does not have a URI flareup that is major, that he leaves the tail alone (does not "self amputate"), and that I live threw the event.

Vibes to you and Loki! I'm sure he'll be ok. And you will too! Could you give him some Enisyl(Lysine) to keep the URI bugs away?

Well he is a cat, hybrid or not! But he is your love so it doesn't matter whether he's hybrid, or whatever!

On no! Wow, that must have been scary, I'm so so sorry! Poor you, poor Loki! Glad to hear all went well with the surgery, and it heals up without incident!

Poor Loki, and that must have been a shock for you! Tons of that he heals quickly with no complications.

Poor Loki. I can't imagine what I would think if I went into the room and there was bloods all over! Glad to hear the surgery went pretty well. Sending many vibes for both of you!

I am already using it in VERY low amounts, well was . He will be getting a real lot of it . He is my whatever , but really and truly he is such a good cat. Despite bleeding all over the place, seeing his tail bones, he walked up to me purring. He was NOT the least bit aggressive. I was truly amazed, as was the vet staff. He is all the proof that "wild" is a state of mind. Since as you know, most pure domestics, would be very agitated.  Not my Loki . As I always say, no brains no clue .

Having worked with exotic animals, I am used to seeing blood from "disagreements". But, not in my home and not with a lone cat. Thank you for the vibes.

Yea, I was truly in shock. I sure hope for a quick, relatively quite, and of course no complication, healing process. I just hope the cage rest, cone, and general "keeping him calm", does not drive me and him crazy.

I sure hope all goes well, your very smart. So, could you give me suggestions for keeping my crazy cat calm? Keep in mind: I work, he will have a Elizabethan collar on him, he MIGHT try to "help" his tail, and he is just crazy. Tame as you can see from previous post, but so crazy.

to you and Loki. xx

Oh my gosh!  How scary!  I hope he's able to leave it alone while it heals.

Sending many to both you and Loki!

Healing vibes are on the way to Loki and calming vibes for you.

Now that I am calmer/more level headed, I remember seeing two Jungle cats, one 75% Jungle cat hybrid, and one Serval that injured its tail to the point that they needed similar sugeries. I remember the Serval that was at the rescue was VERY hard to keep calm. Lets hope Loki the F3 Savannah, is kind of manageable.

His treat is he is still alive . But seriously, anything to keep him calm. I do mean anything BTW . Thank you for your concern, I will be taking him home today. Which should be well...interesting to say the least.

Poor me, you mean . I am the one that will be stuck with a screaming, unhappy, on cage rest, wacko cat. O yes, I pay his medical bills not him . But really, thank you for your kind and concern.

Day one after surgery.

Well keeping him on cage rest was well insane . So, when I can directly supervise him, I have been letting him play with me in his "cafe safe room".  The real "issue" is he feels too good. Minus the fact, it is a little hard for him to sit, he seem fine. He is eating well, drinking well so far too. He has urinated one time, as well as defecated. I am hoping I come home to a "wet litter box". Since I am VERY PARANOID, about his kidneys.

Anyway, I am just doing this as a "journal", so if anyone wants to comment fine. If not, that is fine too .

 

Glad to hear Loki is doing well- but I can imagine how you must feel with a crazed cat! :lol3: Continued vibes for the both of you!

Glad to hear Loki is home and has pooped and peed. Always grounds for celebration. No signs of a URI? That's great too!

Continued vibes! Loki

Wow, that would have been scary!

So glad he is home, hope he heals quickly

Yup, I use the threads for my cats' health issues as journals too. Just remember to copy them into a word document or something at various points in case something happens to the site. :cross:

Great he feels so good - but I know it makes it that much more difficult. :lol3:

Actually, I have NO suggestions for how to keep him calm. When Tuxedo had surgery and then was going to need a blood transfusion, they sent him home with us, because he does so much better here than at the vet, and we're not completely inexperienced. But they sent him home with that port taped in his arm, so OBVIOUSLY he had a collar on. He went crazy trying to get it off, and the ONLY solution was to take it off. At the time we didn't work from home, and we simply had to go on shifts so he had supervision all night, and we took off work the next day so we could stay with him until we took him back to the other vet for the transfusion. We (obviously) had to stop him from playing with that port!!!!!!!

But if I were alone dealing with it... and it required more than one day and one night LOL... I don't know what I would have done!!!!!

Just sending more that despite the crazies, he'll let it heal!

Everything with him is always a headache. I am not as glad he is home , he is even more wacko then normal.

Thank you anyway hun, I did spend the night with him the vets office. He was so nutty, he could not even handle the IV.  Since he has been home, he is like a "kitten again". That means completely uncontrollable, plus even larger. 

He has been pretty good about leaving it alone. But, just like a dog with an insured tail, he is at real risk of  harming it from hitting it into walls and so on.
