Catfamily Carla :-( Back into the Hospital

Gary Catmandu started a thread about Carla's surgery..http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=102960
Update is I got a call from Carla earlier today, and she had to be taken into the Emergency Room last night. She was in unbearable pain, and they are thinking her intestine may be leaking somewhere. I asked her if she was on antibiotics at all, and was shocked that after bowel and hernia surgery, they gave her none. :eek: I know antibiotics are overused, but for intestinal operations with so much danger of infection, I would think they'd have prescribed them for that alone! She still needs our prayers and well wishes as I know she appreciates them. Get better Carla! ;) More gentle hugs coming your way...Jan

What? No antibiotics after intestinal surgery? They'll give it to anyone with a cold (for which antibiotics do no good), but not for surgery with a high risk of infection? :confused:

More prayers, good wishes and very gentle {hugs} on the way for Carla.

OMG, please get better soon Carla!!!

What a shock! They should have been giving Carla antibiotics!

Tell Carla she is in my prayers and I am sending good thoughts to her.

OH DEAR! cARLA, LOTS OF PRAYERS COMING YOUR WAY SWEETIE!!!

I am so glad I was sitting DOWN with Ralph draped over my left arm so I could not fall off the chair when I read that Carla had intestional surgery and NO antibiotics!!! I am stunned!!! As another post said, people get antibiotics for a cold, and Carla, who is at the rish for peritionitis, gets NONE!!!!! BIG prayers for Carla!!!!!! Sandra

Lots of prayers and warm wishes coming from Indiana to Carla! I am sorry to hear that she had to go back to the ER. From the earlier posts, it sounded like she was in unbearable pain. Poor thing.

I hope Carla is well again soon and in less pain now!

I agree the doctor(s) are nuts.
With my collasped lung (chest tube) they started me on antibotic i.v. and did so for 10 days while I was in the hospital to prevent infection. Feel so sorry for Carla.
Will keep good thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to read this news about sweet Carla!

I have said my prayers for you and am sending (((HUGS)))

OMG poor Carla :( ! I'll keep her and my family in my thoughts and prayers.

OMG!! The poor thing! Lots of good thoughts and prayers on their way!

Oh, no! Praying here...

OMG!!! I'm not only shocked but so deeply sorry to hear poor Carla is back in the hospital. :( :( Bless her heart. She is such a dear person and has to go through so much.

Please let Carla know that many people are sending prayers and good thoughts her way. {{{{HUGS}}}} and many prayers coming to you Carla. God Bless you.

Oh Carla, I'm sending good thoughts and lots of prayers for a speedy recovery. The "fur kids" send kisses and head bumpies as well. Get better soon.

Thats terrible News.
How could they not give Carla the proper medicines.
We are praying even Harder that Carla will survive this and be back home with Mike and Cats soon.
I am very sad.

Get well soon Carla!

Sending up prayers for you and your family!

God Bless!

So now I just need to heal.Mike has been good taking care of things and only the heavy cats (Rosco and Colby)try to jump on my tummy.Kind of funny I guess.Rosco jumped on my stomach and It felt like a horse kicked it! :eek:
But I'm fine and the cats are all over me.I keep a pillow over my tummy at all times in case a cat wants to give me some love and affection :rolleyes: :D

Glad to see you're home with the best doctors and nurses in the world ;)

Thank God you're OK Carla! I was so worried when you told me you may have been at risk for peritonitis...and soooo happy to hear that isn't so. :) PHEW! Now if only the big guys would learn not to jump on your tummy.... :rolleyes: Rest up, heal fast, and thanks for letting us all know you're home again. ;) More hugs coming your way! :D Can't wait to see more pictures...kiss all the kitties you can for me. :D

Awww, I am happy to hear you are back home, without the dreaded infections!

I am so glad to hear that you are back home once again! Home is the best place to heal, expecially with all of the wonderful furry caregivers you have! Aren't they just the best???!!! :D

Keep healing, and my girls and I will continue to keep you in our prayers!
