Vibes for Wellington and Bonaparte needed

I can't believe that I had two cats sick with different conditions that both needed minor surgery on the same day. I already had an appointment today for Wellington to monitor his skin - he has been pulling tummy fur out and we can't work out why. The vet today took over an hour with him, including sedating him and doing a skin biopsy that she examined (nothing to be seen) and will now go to the lab for allergy testing. He is now home in a plastic collar, 2 stitches on his belly and with a bag of hypo-allergenic food.

But it was Bonaparte who really frightened me. I found him this morning straining on the litterbox, then trying to pee on a rug and on the floor tiles, all without success. I phoned the vet and got an appointment an hour ahead, and when I went up to dress, he followed me and vomited on the bedroom floor. Anyway, it turned out that the poor boy was full of gravel and stones, with some crystals for good measure. Theya re doing a full analysis. He has been sent home with a catheter inserted and a bag of RC urinary food, apparently more suitable than the Sanabelle Urinary I have been feeding him for two years. SO they are both isolated ( I have put Biscotte in with Wellington of course) and will be very carefully monitored for the next few days. Bonaparte goes back to the vet on Friday, Wellington when the lab results come through. All very frightening, for them and for me.

Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it is scary! for you, and for your boys! (And a few for Biscotte, who must be worried about her Wellington. :heart3: ).

One sick cat is worrying enough, but two? Lots and lots of for your boys and a calming for you!

Lots of good, calming, feel better

for you and your boys.

Poor boys & what a stressful day for you!

Many many

Oh no, sending prayers for speedy recoveries for both of them and you. 

Oh my what a stressful day. Good health vibes for both kitties.

Best wishes that both kitties get better quickly - but what a day for all of you.

How are they doing today, Jenny?

Hope all works out for the three of you

Both cats are as well as can be expected this morning. Bonaparte is leaking a lot of bloody drops from his catheter but I think that is to be expected. He ate and drank well and had a purring cuddle session, as well as traking his medicine like a trooper! Wellington also ate fine and took his tablets. So Bonaparte goes back on Friday to have the catheter out, and another urine test, while we wait for the lab results of Wellington's biopsy. He will have his stitches out next week. The house seems quiet with three cats shut away in their own special rooms.

Jenny- sorry you have TWO sick babies at the same time Just double the stress and worry . Hoping all will settle down for you by the end of the week :cross: Poor little guy's and poor you too

For Wellington's biopsy results :rub:

For Bonaparte's bladder issues to resolve quickly :rub:

Aww..... poor Bonaparte. I hope the skin testing on Wellington provides some answers. :cross:

Continued for the boys and you!

I am very scared for Bonaparte. This morning his catheter is dripping blood all over hte floor and he keeps trying to go pee but can't. He has eaten and drunk well, and done a poo, though. I have an emergency appointment with the vet in an hour. Please more vibes for my poor boy.

Sending major vibes for Bonaparte. Poor guy!

Well, he had partly pulled his catheter out, which must be terribly painful. He is not reblocked, thank goodness, but the vet thought the irritation and pain made him want to pee all the time. His bladder is normal size, so I guess all his pee is coming out in drips on the floor! He is in a room with floor tiles and I have just kept wiping it.He is due to have the catheter out tomorrow afternoon, so we will see what happens then.

Poor baby - hopefully this will clear up asap and he can be rid of the catheter.

Oh Jenny - I am just cringing - poor baby ...... I feel so bad for him and you Massive vibes tonight and please keep updating on your babies

Oh Bonaparte! Tomorrow can't get her soon enough!!!!!!!!!!

Bonaparte is much better this morning, though has not eaten very much. He is not dripping blood any more, and I think he has done a small pee, though he has so dug up the litter box that it is difficult to tell. I can't feel any hardness in his belly, so I think all is OK. He is so lonely though, as I can't put any cat with him as companion and Tasha, his special buddy, might be too much for him right now with the collar and catheter to
be careful of. I spent an hour with him this morning, and he ate from my hand in between masses of cuddles and head butts. But hopefully the vet this afternoon will take the catheter out, and then he can rejoin the others, except for mealtimes. Wellington is also OK, but he has his Biscotte as company, and they can remain together until we get the lab results next week.
