Boyfriend update
Well the nurse's idea of "bright and alert" is not mine. Maybe it's a
medical term for not dead yet I love him so much, much more that I ever thought I could love a cat, having been a dog person all my life. Please, oh, please let him recover. I stayed up until 5 a.m. Sleep was totally out of the question but eventually I crashed out. I was awake again by 8 and on the phone to the vet so see how he is. Doing well up to now, medically, but very depressed and refusing to eat or use his litterbox, which he won't use until he bursts, and I told them that. When the vet called me this afternoon he asked me to visit him as timid cats will sometimes eat if their owners are there. So I visited him. He showed no signs of recognising me until the nurse went out of the room. So I babytalked him as if he was on my lap, and tickled him under the chin. Then he leaned over and licked the gravy from his bowl of food and in a few minutes he was eating the chunks, providing I broke them up and pushed them towards him so he didn't have to get up. Unfortunately the nurse came back before he'd finished so that was the end of that. The vet said "I know you told us he was timid, but we didn't quite expect *that* timid" I'm leaving him there until Monday, as the tablets he needs to avoid peritonitis I simply won't be able to administer by myself and as the danger time for peritonitis is within 48 hours, I'd rather leave him there, not least because of the mega pain relief he's getting too. Having had a abdominal operation myself I know how painful it is. Ok, it's going to cost a lot but I don't care one jot. I'd spend all the money I had in the world to keep this lovely gentle boy with me. We are the world to each other. Although I'd like to have him home, I know very well medicating him 2x day with anti-peronitis tablets will be a real problem, FGS, he won't even let me do Stronghold without assistance and in case you think he will be too ill to object, even with his insides hanging out when he saw me with the cat carrier to take him to TED, he found the strength to hide. And now I might cry so bye for now. Tweed |
