Ralph Syracuse needs your prayers!!!

[kb2yjx]

Thank you all for your prayers and wishes for Ralph!!! He looks a bit more alert, in fact, he got out of his Grainger box for a few minutes. However, when I take him to the vet tomorrow, I think Dr. Ascher and I will discuss a feeding tube for Ralph. I tried to slowly syringe about 30cc's(one ounce) of I/D into him, and he promptly threw it all up. He has some more fight in him, so giving him fluids later might be a challenge!! I glad of that, that means he has not given up!!! God Bless you all!!!! Sandra

I very seldom venture off the Cat of the Day page, but after learning about Ralph through a private message, I am here, to add my solace and concern and a little prayer for an orange cat.

Get well, Ralph.

Update??

We got home from the vet late last evening, and I never made it anywhere near the computer!! I AM SORRY!!
Ralph spend the day at the vet. He had IV fluids and meds. He was NPO(nothing by mouth). He came home for the overnight. This morning I took him back to the vet. I think Ralph has made turn for the better!! He growled a Good Morning to the staff, and hissed at me when I put him in his cage!!! He will be getting more IV fluids and meds, and the vet is going to attempt to feed him a little. Ralph has not eaten since Friday morning(the last meal he kept down). Hopefully, Ralph will not vomit and the IV can be DC'd(discontinued)and he can return to eating. Promise to update this evening! Prayers really DO make a difference!!! Thank you all!!! Sandra
