Ok, I'm back from work. What a loooong day. I waited and waited all day for the vet to call. She still hasn't called. I will go on the philosphy that no news is good news.

I tell ya, I was so impressed when I saw him this afternoon. He was purring, he rubbed against me for pets. He nestled into my arms and was making happy feet on the towel. He was NOT impressed with the E-collar... I tell ya, I have no idea how they managed to get it to stay on him.

Seeing the amount of blood in his urine was scary. He was still wearing the catheter and it was daunting how red his urine was. I was told that looked GOOD compared to earlier. She said his temp is where it belongs and the levels were all much lower, much to everyone's surprise. I was just thrilled to see him perky, eyes alert and watchful... and to hear the PURRRrrrrrrrr. And to watch that little tail twitch

He didn't look like the pathetic ragdoll I brought in yesterday -- he looked like the troublemaker I know and love. They told me that he was starting to become sweet and loving as the day wore on. Ahhhh... thats my boy

Of course the tech I don't like was the one to show me back to my boy. While I got my whole 5 minutes with him, she laid one monster guilt trip on me. Gee... thanks, thats exactly what I need right now. I did what I had to do in order to give him medical care that won't toss my family onto the streets.

Thanks so much for the prayers. They seem to be working. Pouncer will be here for a long time to come ((((HUGS))))

Too bad the vet did not get to call, but great news that he feels (acts) better. BIG SIGH of relief.

**momcat** · 03-13-2007, 08:38 PM

This is wonderful news about Pouncer!!! Groucho is here doing his happy dance at this great turn of events!!

**jennielynn1970** · 03-13-2007, 09:04 PM

Oh thank goodness! Let's keep the prayers up and get this sweetie home again!!

Sounds like you also need to have a talk to the vet or the mgr to let them know you don't appreciate the negative comments and criticisms when you are already under much stress. That's just unprofessional and uncalled for. Sounds like that one bitchy girl at Kutztown A.H. Ugh.. I refuse to go there cause she's just evil about the shelter kitties.

**kt_luvs_kitties** · 03-13-2007, 10:33 PM

Oh Kim, thank GOD! I am shivering with excitement. I am so glad to read this! Please Give Pouncer a gentle hug from me and the kits???

**NKBurlington** · 03-14-2007, 08:17 AM

Great news!

**ChrisH** · 03-14-2007, 09:03 AM

Wonderful news!

Thanks God!

Pouncer's coming home tomorrow!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with the vet. She said his kidneys compensated beautifully and ALL his levels are back up where they belong. He's gone potty on his own and is drinking but still has not eaten, which is causing her some concern. She took him off the fluids to see if his kidney values remain normal or if they go bad again (PRAYERS PLEASE that they stay where they are!) The only thing that concerns her is that he has not eaten yet, and they've tried a smorgaborg of things to tempt him.

She said based on how he does off fluids and if he eats, she would do the surgery tomorrow. I opted to give him an opportunity to recover from this trauma before having him undergo surgery.... so the next time he shows ANY signs of blocking, he's going straight to the vet regardless day or time. I promise!

So also based on how he does off fluids and if he eats, I get to bring him home tomorrow!!!!

The only thing is that even though I'm bringing him home, I have to watch him like a hawk because his kidneys might very well have been forever damaged and comprimised. I can not just wait and see ever again on him. He'll always go straight to the vet for even the slightest sniffle.

I am so happy! All those PT prayers worked. Thank you and God bless you all. You have no idea how much this means to me. My little boy is coming home!

Yahoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

**Taz_Zoee** · 03-14-2007, 09:40 AM

Oh thank goodness!! I will continue with the good thoughts until he is home where he belongs.

And I would definitely talk to the vet or someone about that tech. You are, in a way paying her salary, and she should not be talking to any clients like that, EVER!! I know my vet would want to know about it.
Way to go Pouncer!! I'm so glad you are getting better so you can come home to mommy!

**jazzcat** · 03-14-2007, 09:45 AM

I'm so glad to hear he's doing much better.

So you are going to wait to do the surgery till he is fully recovered? Probably a good thing to give his body a little healing time.

**Sara luvs her Tinky** · 03-15-2007, 07:46 AM

OH JOY!!!

I am sooooo happy!! I had this weird feeling when I opened this thread up that there would be good news inside!!

{{KISSES}} for you Pouncer. I'm sure he will feel so much better when he is at home!! Now eat up like a good boy Pouncer!
