Advice/Suggestions needed re:Taz

[Taz_Zoee]

We are back from the vet. She drained the fluid again and gave him some Valium since last time he was a little feisty. So now I have a drunk kitty, LOL.
We discussed our options, and to stop the cysts from filling up surgery would be the only thing to do. I asked if that was ok with his age and she said 13 isn't too old.
And I forgot to ask what kind of cysts they were. I'm exhausted. I've been up since 3:30 with Zoee and her having another seizure. She is currently at the ER vet as I type.

So for now I'm going to discuss this with Bruce (which should be pointless) and go from there. I'm just very nervous about him going under for surgery at his age. I think I'll talk this over with my sister too, see what she thinks (she's a vet tech).

Thanks again, everyone.

Good thoughts and wishes being sent for Taz and Zoee and YOU!

Thank you Moesha.
Zoee is still not home.

I'm sorry that you're going through all this. Surgery is always scary but your vet is right, 13 isn't that old. Puddy had her kidney removed at 13 and you know all the problems she had and she still had a good year or so after that. Many prayers continuing for your entire fur family and for you, too.

When you are ready, you can always phone the vet and ask "what kind of cysts are these?" They can give you that info over the phone, so you can do some research yourself.

Prayers for Taz, Zoe and you! What a lot to cope with all at once! {{Hugs}}

Hopefully the surgery can be laporoscopic without huge incisions? I don't know if they can do lap surgery on a cat.

I hope Zoee is home soon!

Thank you everyone, so much!

Yes, I think I will call the vet and ask what kind of cysts on Monday. I'm nervous about surgery but also it's so darn expensive. My dad asked me if he was worth that much and I said maybe not to you. But if it's not risky surgery then why not? He could have many years left in him. And I'll apply for Care Credit through the vet. Another scary thing is he'd go to the same surgery center that DJ (our RB Cocker) went to and he never came home, except in a box. Or the vet mentioned UC Davis. That's a bit away from me, but do you think they'd be cheaper, or do Care Credit?? I just don't know!!!

Zoee came home around 7pm and she was stuck to me like glue!!! Which was good because I needed to make sure she didn't lick her IV spots too much. She is fine and I'm going to try to not take her in everytime she has one of these episodes. It's too expensive and they don't do much except monitor her and she's always fine. Of course I say this now but when it happens again I'll be down there!! LOL
