Five In A Day - Yikes!

[sandragonfly]

heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat..
nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous..
worry, worry, worry, worry, and worry..

on august the seventeenth, four of my sweet kittenagers (boys - gus, ?, dante & ashton) and their mother (star) are going in for neuter & spay. all of them in the same morning..

for almost a year, I worked as a vet assistant/surgery prep before and have helped with many this kind of surgery, six purrfectly healthy felines just died on their own. it just happened sometimes. I'm really worried, I asked them if I could stay in the surgeryroom and watch...because I understand and am aware with surgery policy, what to not do, etc., ..they said no.

I understand these are not your cats or love them as much as I do but as typing this, I'm already in tears! they ALL meant so much to me and I can not lose one of them, god forbids!

for that day coming, I would really need your hugs(thoughts/support). my heart just won't stop bleed.. not until august the eighteenth if every of my fuzzydear is allright!! sometimes it's bad to have a big heart. argh.

thanks!!
..gina, star and her four boys

[Lightning SuperCat]

Everything will be fine, Gina! ((((((HUGS)))))) Just a question-how will you get 6 cats to the vet??

[Laura's Babies]

WOW! I think I would just have one done at a time. That is TO much and to many to have to worry about in one day.. Geez Gina, I know how I worried about Amy's surgery.... Mulitply that times 4 to 5, I would be going NUTS!

[furrykidsmother]

Wow!! That is alot to worry about in one day! Hugs, good thoughts and prayers are with you now and through the surgery.

[sandragonfly]

yeah..I know everything will be fine with this simplest commoon surgery...unless someone makes a mistake!! I can't help it worrying.. butterflies flutters a lot lately. how can you kill the butterflies?!

okay, okay..*inhales...exhales..*, everyone will be fine.

[sandragonfly]

sigh..not really. star, gus, ?, dante and ashton is meowing their heads off! for food.. I'm not suppose to feed them until after their surgery.

I was asked to not feed them since last midnight. (the 16th)...hurry up mr. clock!!!

I know I know.. it just is the nervousness we all have...

five meowing heads purr loudly....ooh aww, heartbreaking. they won't stop nudge their heads on me (legs and arms when I sit down), they kinda of pushing me off the floor! the mother is a little patience but confused.

well, time for bed - boys, nighty-nite!!

an update..

it's not five, SIX cats. I took a stomatitis cat, peppers along with five others. yesterday, the coast vet office (my old long-time one, about an hour away) changed their mind and called me that they could take in peppers, she has a really bad gingivo, LPGS (lymphocytic-plasmaytic gingivitis stomatitis). so I cancelled the local vet because I preferred the coast one.

we discussed about laser therapy/extraction. we tried clindamyin (general anti-rode) last year in one plan, 5x/monthly twice, but gingivo just keeps coming back. this past january, we gave her methylprednisoline (sp?) injections, (like depomedrol drops) one each four weeks. it didn't helped either! then.....we would want to try a stronger prescription, bovine lacofferin but I did a research and it only succeed from the percentage of 20-25% and it's the expensiver treatment the cat gets. it's mostly is for the cats who has bartonella but peppy's test came out negative on that.

and, when I got back froom two weeks camping, my gosh.. her mouth is much, much worse! it made me cry. and SO frustrating.

today, I'm so glad, it's the day today...I requested if they could have her evil teeth removal asap, they said they can do it today! so she'd get out of pain sooner!!!! I just can't wait..

half of my cats are not with me now.. I won't see them until 6PM. (it's 10AM here right now). they trusted me, they got excitied getting in these cages...and I've just bought them to h***. now they will hate the cages and me.

-(drains)- please, please spare a few thoughts altogether, thank you.

..gina & her half ark..

[sandragonfly]

oh gee, sorry lighting supercat!

I have 9 cages total, 3 really big. I put boys in two medium cages, two each. star's in her small one, she gets hot easily. and peppers in small one too so that's four cages total and two trips from home to the car. then car to the office. that happens when you have an ark!

oh one more, ..at least crayola is with me - he says, "mommy- you can hug me all you want!"

[furrykidsmother]

Good thoughts, prayers and hugs to you. Hope all goes well, I am sure it will. Let us know when you get everyone home!

[sandragonfly]

I called in to check...an hour early.. I couldn't wait!!

they said.. everyone (include peppy)'s done & fine!!!!! just all groggy and still "asleep".

oh here come tears..joy joy! they won't be ready being picked up until 4PM. I have two and half more hours to go!! ..to a miserable night. hope not all of them would be grumpy and in weeny-bit pain.

(thank you, furrymother!! I'm glad someone understood me).
