Kevin had to drop Porch at the vet this morning on the way to work. During the phone tag he & the vet have been playing today, he left a message that Porch is blocked on both ends. They will be keeping him over night. Porch is the cat that had megacolon and surgery to remove most of his colon. I sure hope this isn't going to be so serious Porch can't be cured. Another dreaded wait for a phone call! Neither Porch nor us needed this right now!
**UPDATE**
Porch has stones and is constipated. They are hydrating him to see if he can pass the stools on his own. If not, they will try medication then an enima. They will also do something to rid him of the urinary tract stones. We can visit him when we drop Kurby off tomorrow morning. Boy is all this stressful.
Lisa I thought my plate was full but it is nothing in comparison to yours!!! I'm so sorry this is happening all at once! Its bad enough when it's one but you have had three in a row! I don't know how your doing it all. I don't know if it helps but you are always in my thoughts and you and the furbabies are always in my prayers.
Hopefully you are having a bad luck streak right now and this is it for a very long time!
Thanks Lisa! It has all been very stressful. We're just praying they're all going to be OK. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.
I sure hope Porch will be ok. He's been through so much already. :( And they say things come in threes, so hopefully everybody else stays healthy an nobody drops off anymore unwanted kitties at the park, and hubby and the vet finally connect and work calms down and life can finally get back to some sort of normalcy for you.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:

Praying that all turns out well in the end.
Goodness, when it rains it POURS! I sure hope things get better your way real soon and you don't have to ever see a vet again except for annuals!
Not another one! Its like a black cloud is hanging over your cats right now. Just remember that clouds always blow away and leave sunny days.
Good Luck Porch!
I swear I don't know what is going on. I guess when you have as many cats as we do, things are bound to happen. Just wish they'd give us a break and not happen so close together. Kevin will visit Porch when he drops Kurby off this morning. If they can't get Porch to go on his own, this could be bad news for Porch. He doesn't have much colon left, so if what he has isn't working, I'm afraid Porch won't pull through.
When,the Found Cats,say thier CVat Prayers,Tonight,they will add Special Prayers,for Porch,thathe can be well,and live the full term,of his life out,with you!
Not to worry, Lisa. We'll get the PT Prayer Line going. It has come through so manyt times in the past. Hmm....where's Cinder and Smoke....gotta get them on the case....Quote:

The vet said this morning Porch peed on his own!:D Now if he could go #2 on his own this would be so good!
My goodness, Lisa ... this is so frustrating for you, I'm sure! It sounds encouraging though with him being able to pee pee on his own. Come on kitty, you make poopies for us!!!;)
Hugs to you Lisa!;)
:D :D Thanks Kim!:D :DQuote:

Yeah Porch! Listen to your Auntie Kim now so you can go home again real soon. :)
Porch is still hospitalized. He did do poo poo a little yesterday, but they want him to pass more. He also has 2 large stones in the bladder that may have to be surgically removed. UGH...we are stressed!
I am glad he is making some progress but those stones sound troublesome. I can only imagine how stressed you are right now, Lisa. Well, hopefully Mr. Kurbster is about to make a remarkable recovery and make all of this worthwhile for your hard work!;)
Keep the Faith!
(((HUGS)))

Of course he talked with me about Porch also. Said he's doing a little better today and will call this afternoon to see if he's able to go home. They want the bowels to start performing and once that happens they will remove the stones in his bladder. He said they wanted to wait about 10 days before they remove them to make sure he's feeling better etc. He even ate a little this morning.
My heart, SO goes out to you for all you are going through with these babies!
Prayers going out to Porch. Hope he starts doing better and gets well quickly!
Willie
Thank you! They say things come in 3's so maybe this our third and things will calm down a bit!Quote:

By the way, I love that name - Porch! You just know where this kitty came from. ;) :)
We're hoping to bring him home today!! I'll have to show Kevin this comment. I fought him like crazy to name him Porch. I thought "oh brother", but it grew on me and I too like it!:D Funny thing is Kevin said if he would hang out back instead of out front we'd name him Patio Daddio!:rolleyes: :DQuote:

Not so good news for Porch...he is backing up again and they're not sure if he'll be able to come home. He's also not eating again for them. When we pick up Kurby this afternoon they'll let us know whether Porch stays or goes home.:(
Oh Lisa, i'm so sorry to hear this news. You must feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster ride right now.
(((((HUGS)))))
Come on Porch, we are all pulling for you sweetie, now it's up to you.
Prayers still coming your way.
Maybe I missed the update, but, how's Porch?
Thought going out for you lisa and to Porch.
