    Asking prayers for Tabby II- major surgery today

    Our Tabby II has gone through the worst 2 weeks of his life with urinary blockage- he blocked on Thanksgiving day, was unblocked and came home on special diet, but it happened again and last week he was operated on to remove all the stones and gravel from his bladder- but there is narrowing of the urethra and/or continuing inflammation and he can't pee by himself so it's peritoneal urethrostomy surgery today for poor Tabs- he's at Auburn U Small Animal Center in AL with the best Drs there are for this but we're plenty worried- please pray for our very sweet tabby boy to come through OK and never have to go through this again -

    Update - thank you!!!

    Tabby heard they were prepping for surgery and apparently thought "OH, no, no more of that crap!" and HE STARTED PEEING ON HIS OWN!! They kept him another day to observe and SENT HIIM HOME WITHOUT the surgery!
    Now, things may still go South again sometime, special diet or no, and we may look at this again in future- but for now, TABBY II IS HOME and the happiest tabby cat you'll see today!!!
    THANKS to all who helped by petitioning for his improvement!!!
