He came in at 11pm last night with some intestines protruding from
a
wound
in his side.
I panicked so much that I could hardly speak to the vet on the
phone, I
couldn't seem to control my breathing.

I rushed him to the surgery where he underwent an emergency
operation.
The
vet rang me during the night to say he'd survived the op but he's
had to
open up a large incision down the middle of his tummy as well, to
check
for
internal damage, which there wasn't and also so his abdominal
cavity
could
be flushed out.

It's not clear how it happened. I thought he might have been
attacked
but
the vet thinks it is more likely that he fell somehow onto
something
sharp.
I phoned early this morning and the nurse's notes say he is "bright
and
alert." I'm expecting a call from the vet any time so I'll know
more
when
I've spoken to him.
There is potential for peritonitis so please purr and pray for his
recovery.
I'm sick with worry. The house is so empty without him.

Mega purrs for, Boyfie! I find this so upsetting, I can't imagine
how you
feel. :-(

I haven't had an accident like this *ever* I've searched the garden
and
can't see how it could have happened but I don't know where he goes.
I did of course want to blame a fox or the JRTnext door but no.
Boyfie was
examined he has no bruises,no bite marks. The vet says he hasn't seen
an
injury like this befofe.

Boyfie is still at the vets and will remain there until Monday



Tweed, we are all sending purrs for Boyfie and for you. You may never
find out how this occurred. At least you know it wasn't from a bite
or another animal.

Purrs continue.

Sending healing purrrs.
