Thanks everybody! I think he looks good too considering all that he has gone through. Thankfully, the surgery is done through his left nostril, kind of like a biopsy, using the rhinoscopy so there are no exterior wounds and no stitches used inside either.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that he can breathe alot easier now. It is still a bit stuffy but I believe that is due to inflammation and should get a bit better by tomorrow or the next day. It's definitely improved though compared to what it was before the surgery.

When I went to pick him up, the tech said, " I couldn't pill him!" She said that he had an incredible gag reflex and after 2 tries she gave up because she didn't want to stress him. That made me feel alot better because I have had the worst time trying to pill him and I felt like it was just me doing a bad job but if a tech is struggling, then it might not be my pilling skills! lol

Anyway, any pill he's on now is put into his food so we don't need to force him which I'm very thankful for.
I'm planning to start him on the Transfer Factor in a day or two. I ordered another bottle from the States yesterday. I'm going to stay hopeful!

When he has a bit more energy and is walking around more, I'll get another video of him. Maybe of him out in the outdoor enclosure getting some sunshine!

He looks great and I'm so glad that he's also breathing better. I hope he continues to improve. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Tiger - you enjoy that sunshine sweetheart

[Medusa]

Letting him enjoy the sunshine is a wonderful idea. When Pidge first came to me after all she went through, my instincts told me to do the same thing. I didn't have an enclosed area, so I held her on my lap while I sat on the patio and she never tried to get away. She just purred and purred and ate it all up. I do so hope that Tiger gets to enjoy soaking up the sun and that you get to enjoy lots more quality time w/him. I'm so glad that he can breathe better.

Just looking at the pics again...what a sweet and gorgeous boy!

OT - has Paddy continued to receive "laser light play therapy"?

Mr. Paddy unfortunately never showed any interest in the laser light and he also grew a little too large for the amazing harness that my brother and neice sent him. I do make sure that he only gets a wee handful of crumbles each day and the majority of his diet is wet. But as you can see in the pics, he is still a 'largie'. It's been hard to work on that with all the other stuff but he is equally important so I will be getting him slimmed down.

I'm not looking forward to the actual 'move' itself but I am looking forward to having a more affordable place which will allow us to get a few of our cats the medical attention they need (holistic and regular vet medicine). It's going to be so great.
