OK guys, I am really looking for some help here. As many know, Tangerine has been through a big battle over the last couple months (maybe 3 now). Anyhow, we've have blockages that have led to surgery (to make into a girl cat), that led to infection/blockage, that led to another surgery (to make the hole bigger), that led to him not eating that led to fatty liver disease.
He finally came home on Monday (cathether in place for 1 more week) and my boyfriend turned his back for 1 second after taking the hood off and whoops there goes the catether. He's been in the hospital again. Well they are sending him home tonight. While he is very alert (his notes today say alert/active and vocal
) I am just completely scared. i am going to talk to the vet tonight about his peeing.
I am at my wits end. I love my kitty and want him to get well, but i am starting to think this is just a terrible thing to be putting him through. I mean long term, he has no hair on his hind legs due to urine scald, and he's eating through a tube in his neck! He is starting to eat on his own, but still with the tube.
Half of me says that I have put him through enough and half of me says that that is the very reason to push on... not sure if i should get another opinion?? I am not sure of anything... can anyone help me out here? Any suggestions about the peeing or getting him to eat?? Or what I should do?
