Prayers for Sam

[mrspunkysmom]

Awww, I hope you and Sam are feeling better very soon. At least you can cuddle together while you aren't feeling well.

Oh he got lots of meds last night. He's not coming near me. SIGH

Edit: 10 minutes later he wanted attention.

Aww, I'm sorry.
Well, I hope you are both feeling better so he WILL cuddle with you.

And not ten minutes after I wrote the post below, Sam was mewing to get my attention. He wanted up on the cat tree. Please, understand he can get up there by himself.

I think the fluids and attention are keeping him going.

Thanks surgery is tomorrow, Thursday. I may pop by a local urgent care myself.

I do hope they listen to me and not let the one vet perform the surgery.

From me, too! And I hope you are feeling better too, meowmie!

Thank you all for the prayers. We still need them. I apologize fo the late post. I thought I had posted here.

The surgery has been postponed for several reasons: Sam is still dehydrated by 6%, he is slightly anemic, and his white cell count his a little high. The doc is afraid he won't do well under anesthesia because of the dehydration and anemia, but she left it up to me. So I have to give him fluids every day now and have him checked next week. He got a shot of XNL (?) and some more appetite stimulant. That works quick because he ate right away when he got home. She wasn't keen about me injecting him with an antibiotic, but said if the antibiotic worked the first two days, she would give me some to inject in his fluids.

She thinks there is something else going on. I mentioned the swelling on the right side. She said his teeth didn't look that bad. I'm wondering if a fragment was left in by the previous dentist.

So this is a wait and see.

Now off to the human doc for my sinuses.

Oh gosh. I hope you both feel better very soon!

[mrspunkysmom]

Me, too.

I got chewed out by someone in another group for not taking him to a feline dentist. Not just a cat specialist, but a dentist.

The doc, a cat specialist, says his gums are barely irritated and the swelling has gone down on the right side. The eyes are still dilated unevenly.

Some of this is psychosomatic, but not all of it. He does not feel well, and it may have been going on longer than I thought. I've been so sick, it is possible I missed subtle signs.

Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

Does this specialist not have any ideas?

Perhaps as the swellings go down the eyes may improve?

Sorry I'm not much help.
