Storm Needs Surgery ASAP!!!

Thanks for the update Amberlee. Continued prayers for Storm and KAK are on the way! Poor thing, I know how bloody and painful that surgery looks (I assisted in this very surgery when I was working at Gilroy Vet)...so I can understand why Storm isn't wanting to go pee. Do you know if Storm was getting painkillers?
You're right Amberlee, subcutaneous fluids (or simply sub-Q) is what Storm will be getting for his dehydration. This will also make him go pee, so hopefully he'll start going instead of holding it in.
It will take some time to heal, but I'm confident that Storm will pull through.
Lots of love and **hugs**, purrs and licks from the Thrash household.

Many good thoughts and prayers for Tracey and Storm from SC today. I hope that everything will be ok. Thank you, once again, Pauline, for the update.

Best healing thoughts on their way for little Storm and his meowmie:)

Yes, he's on a pain patch through tomorrow, then he switches to a liquid painkiller that gets rubbed inside his cheek (if he cooperates) or squirted inside his mouth (which is most likely, apparently).

Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm sure KAK will find comfort from your concern for her wonderful boy.

Oh my, I can't imagine how worrisome this must be for you Tracey and how awful for Storm.

Come on Stormy Boy.....make sure you go when you have to go.

{{{HUGS}}} and more prayers all around.

Yes, thank you Pauline for alerting us. Tracey, Storm, all of us here on Cape Cod are sending you our love, healing prayers and lots of positive thoughts. What an ordeal for you and your precious Storm, Tracey! Hopefully he's on the road to recovery now. Thinking of you both. Love, Sandra, Mr. B, Oliver and all the furkids.

Oh (HUGS) Tracey ... I know you are worried about your boy ... but this all sounds very 'normal' procedure to me ... just give it a few more days, I'm sure Storm will be just fine!;)

More prayers for you Storm from here to you sweetheart.

Oh, I would probably do the same. You feel better when a specialist is taking care of the problem.

COme on....SQUIRT!!!!

Prayers for Tracey and Storm. And a few million {{{{HUGS}}}} And {{{{Skritchies}}}} too.

Oh Tracey - let me add my prayers to everyone elses.

I really do know how upsetting these things can be.........and I pray that after the surgery - Storm is feeling much better and that will make you feel better automatically.

Come on Storm - you can do this!!

Oh Tracey, my heart goes out to you. I could only imagine how worried you must be for your precious Storm.

Okay Storm, this is for you bud. Stop worrying your meowmie and open those floodgates. It is not good to keep them shut.
If you want to start feeling better soon, you have to co-operate for those that are doing all they can to help you.


Big time (((((HUGS))))) for you Tracey

Prayers and positive thoughts still on the way, that all will go well for Storm.

Just keeping "seeing" him well. I will light a candle for him right away. Hmmm...I've had just the opposite problem w/my Specs. :rolleyes: I will picture him in my mind's eye only as well.

Blessings and prayers,
M

Thanks again everyone and especially you AmberLee.:) I just have to try to give Storm more fluids since he doesn't seem to want to drink from his water dish. I'm now adding some water to his food mixture which is wet food and dry food mixed together. I'm also going to squirt some water in his mouth with a couple of large syringes. I hope that this will make him pee more.:)
I really like the my new vets office. Everyone is very nice. The doctor that I saw today called me at home since he wasn't able to talk to me when I picked up Storm. He said that Storm is a wonderful cat and is in very good shape. Everyone is amazed that he'll soon be 9 years old because they all think he looks much younger.:)
Last night Storm got one of paws stuck in his e-collar and was thrashing around the cage.:( I had to take him out and calm him down. I then decided that he could sleep on my bed with me because he really needed his meowmie. He cuddled with me all night and purred very loudly too. It was heaven.:) Thanks again and I'll try to keep you updated when I can.:D
