Pouncer in for Surgery :((Update post #52)

[catnapper]

Nothing to update.

I called the vet yesterday to see how he was doing and they said he's resting comfortably. They told me that Dr. J planned on doing the surgery after the normal day's appointments were done. I asked if she could call me after the surgery so I'd know how he did and if he woke up (waking up from the anesthesia is my biggest fear). I never heard from them and nobody answered the phone when I called. Its too early to call now, so I'll wait a few hours and try. I'm worried about my little boy

I'm saying Prayers for dear Pouncer.I knew this day was coming.And I have to tell you are doing the right thing.This will make any and all pain go away for him.I assume anyway.I'm happy this is getting done and can't wait for updates.
I know Pouncer is your favorite and he's a very lucky boy to have you and your family that loves him so much.
Prayers for Pouncer

Sending all my best thoughts for Pouncer. I hope that the surgery will help. I think there are some kitties at PT who had it and got around very well after it.

Hope Pouncer's surgery went really well! It was probably just a really long day for the vet, and they figured they'd call you today. He's a strong boy, he'll pull through it!

I'm sure he's fine, Kim! Please do post when you hear something though!

Hugs,
Kim

Still no word on Pouncer. I intended to call during work..... but it was so chaotic that I couldn't call til after 5:00 and they must have been long gone

You can be sure I'll call them 1st thing tomorrow morning.

A little update on Pouncer:
He did have the surgery Saturday. He's just hanging out at the moment and the vet will call me when she's out of the appointment she's currently seeing.

Whew.... I can breathe a sigh of relief. I was very worried about my hissy boy. Allen apparently misses him. I was wakened by 20 pounds of orange cat insistent on getting pets. Allen never does that unless he's feeling lonely because his buddy's not here or he's locked in another room somewhere.

Just spoke to the vet: He's coming home today!!!!!!

I work tonight so hubby will be picking him up, but he's coming home tonight!!! Woohoo!!

Now, what on earth am I gonna do with Tuscan?!?! Pouncer's going ot be isolated in Tuscan's room. Put Tuscan in the basement? He'll have much more room to roam, but no windows to look out and thats what he's always doing when I go to check on him. I can put him in Cam's room, but I can see it now..... Cam not sleeping at night because he's screaming for the kitty.

I've got his room all settled. He'll be camping out in my youngest daughter's room. I'm happy he'll have a room with a bed and window, and a hooman to sleep with at night. He does sleep with her a lot at night so he won't feel left out or anything. I think I'll have Allen spend the nights with her too, so he can have his buddy with him. As I said Allen missed him, so it'll be good for Allen too.

He's got a fresh water fountain, fresh litter box and a clean dish all awaiting his homecoming.

I wrote out a ton of checks for his release...... the vet tech asked if I was sitting down for the total. $930 including food and meds. Big Sigh. Whats money if you can't have the ones you love with you?
