Okay. I just re-read your original post, and saw that they re-did the surgery.
This is a good thing. I'd just say to keep your eye on him, and we're all praying that he has a comfortable and speedy recovery. Sorry!

"wookie"
Im kind of lost...with your post, and I didnt take any offense, just wanna make sure its clear...
There was the vessel that they cut, hanging out. She said when they cut it sometimes it gets absorbed back in, or Should stay in..Sometimes it slips out..
It was the vessel that was cut to do the neuter..
When he got there he had it covered in litter, etc..And it wasnt looking good, red, and infected..
So he had 2 days of antiobiotics, because it had already grown necrotic "dead"....
Then had the whole procedure redone, they cut off the dead part, and infected part..They went alittle further up then what was hanging out of him...
So his lil bum looks just like it should now...
Did I help this or make it more confusing??

We are posting at the same time!!!!!!
But thanks again to all of you. We will get some rest..I really thought Id lose him, or that Id have an idiot vet tell me to just put him down..."only because thats been a topic here lately, I got paranoid"
I did lay with him for 2 whole days and rub his tummy, waiting for something to happen, good or bad, he wasnt holding down food, etc...
But we will see how he does tomorrow, since he cant eat tonight

Oh I'm so glad!!!!!!!!! I've been hoping for the little guy to be all better.
Just to reassure you... Zissou's spay was done at a low-cost clinic / shelter and was looked at by a regular vet three or four days later for an unrelated problem, and he said it was beautiful. Look for a low-cost that has enough donations and subsidized stuff to not cut any corners, rather than a place who does them low-cost because it doesn't cost them as much.

geez you guys move fast, I cant even keep up with my own thread, and I keep repeating myself..Just so happy he's better...
This was my baby Garfield,, for all you that hadnt known..
I got my others all done before the move, he was the baby remaining..And I took strays with me also that same day. They were fine, he wasnt..So imagine how that made me feel...Lets just hope I did the right thing by both my pets, and my strays

Phew, I understand now!!!
Very glad to hear they fixed the problem...this is exactly what they should have done, and it seems they handled it well.
Hope he feels better soon!

Thanks for the update - very relieved to see that they fixed things up.
With the corrective surgery, antibiotics, and your TLC, Garfield's sure to be up and about in no time.
P.S. I'm sure Friendly Orange Guy would want to welcome Garfield to the snipped kitties club.

That loud gasping noise you just heard was a MAJORLY big sigh of relief coming from Florida.... I am happy as a clam that this guy got repaired.
In a week or so, when he is happy and has forgotten all about it, I'd like you to post a picture of him doing something fun. I need it to erase that "boo-boo" photo from my brain permanently!

This is to erase that nasty image out of your mind
He's back to his normal self. Like nothing ever happened. I thought maybe he'd be aggressive, almost blaming me for it..But he is more cuddly then ever. And him and Bella are inseperable. I was telling him today, if only he could work, and pay the bills, he would be all mine
Is it wrong of me to actually like my cats, more then men?? I wouldnt mind borrowing someone occassionally..But I love coming home to my kitties, and kitties only..Maybe because they dont talk
or give me problems...
Anyways, just wanted to show that he was better..
by the way, Ive never in my life known a cat this nice..I call "medicine time" and he runs right in, sits down, opens his mouth, i put the pill in, message his little throat, check his mouth, and off he goes..
He's on them for a while, so thats such good news...
Anyone who was scared to neuter after this, please dont be. Although i wouldnt want to go through it again, he really is doing well..

He is such a precious little boy, and I have to admit, I much prefer the company of my cats to men as well.
I'm so glad they were able to fix his problem. That was a very scarey and painful looking neuter, at first.

Garfield looks bright-eyed, strong, and ready to rumble!
P.S. Cande, you've inspired me to start a cutie butts thread: www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1279722

I do love me an orange kitty-boy!

He is adorable........

I just saw this thread, what a worrying time for you, and a very sore time for your baby. He is absolutely gorgeous (Im partial to the odd ginger kitty
) I am so glad he is ok and the bit about him coming for his medication cracked me up
