    Poor sweet Chester. :( *UPDATE ON POST 22*

    First off, my computer is out of commission right now until Monday or Tuesday, so unfortunately, no pictures as I am on my sons computer.

    I brought Chester to the vet Thursday night as he was being neutered Friday.
    Picked him up Friday night, brought him home, set him up in my room and of course, he was still a little groggy and wobbly. Gave him a little bit of water and just let him be for a while. I went to check on him before I went to bed, (I decided to sleep on the couch to give my guys some time with me at night,) and he was pretty sleepy, which didn't concern me, as I figured he needed more sleepy time. In the morning, went to check on him and he was under the bed, which was very unusual for him to be under there in the first place and heard this pitiful meow. I bent down and he was pulling himself out with his front claws and flashed right before my eyes, was my RB Katie. PANIC TIME!!!!! Once he got out, I noticed he seemed to be still a little too groggy for my liking and somewhat lethargic. Called my vet and they told me to bring him in. When I got there, I was taken right away. He apparently didn't handle the anesthetic very well, was a little dehydrated and had a fever. So I had to leave him there. They just called me and said that he was doing much better and that I can pick him up tomorrow morning. PHEW!!!!!!!!!
    Now I can go and relax with a nice cup of tea and stop cleaning my house.

    Aw sweet boy. But he has a caring mom who was watching him closely and saved him from more problems. Glad he's doing better now.
    Blessings,

    Thanks SAS for your nice comment.

    Yup, it was scary for sure, because all I could think of at the moment was my Katie and thought, "Oh dear God, not again." He looked just like Katie did when she had a stroke from being put under, when she was crawling out from under the bed.

    I can't wait to go and get him tomorrow morning. I've mentioned this before, but I m so grateful that my vet is open on the weekend.

    Thanks everyone, for your nice replies.

    How scary. I'm so glad that you noticed he wasn't doing well so quickly and that you brought him to your vet asap. I'm also glad to hear that he's doing well and that he'll be able to come home soon. Please get well soon Chester.

    Um, is this the SAME vet? Maybe time to consider using a different one?

    I am so glad to hear Chester is recovering!

    Thanks everyone for your concerns and replies.

    Chester still has his fever, so he is on antibiotics for 10 days, his scrotum is a little swollen and he is in some pain. The doctor gave him a painkiller shot and if he isn't any better in a few days, I'll have to bring him back.
    He hasn't eaten or gone to the bathroom since last night, so I have to keep an eye on that.
    Poor boy. They said he was such a good boy while being examined even though he was in pain from it.

    Please send out some prayers that sweet Chester will have a full recovery and not have to go back to the vets.

    Poor sweet Chester

    What a lucky little boy Chester is to be in your loving care, Lorraine. I'm glad you were able to get him right back to your vet for follow-up. Praying that all will be well and Chester will be good as new in no time. Would you give him some feel better scritchies and smoochies from me?

    It's a good thing you were so observant on his condition. I wish him the best at recovery. Poor guy and poor you! Good Luck!!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
