More UT problems for Gatsby

[Prairie Purrs]

Gatsby's out of surgery and awake! After all the worry, apparently it was pretty routine--a perineal urethrostomy rather than the prepubic form. I don't know yet when he'll be able to come home. Obviously they're watching him today to make sure he's recovering normally and that there aren't any complications.

I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am. Thank you all for your healing thoughts and prayers!

Great news, Penny! I hope that Gatsby has seen the last of those nasty UT problems forever!

Oh, I'm so glad!! Crossed paws weren't for naught!!

Now Gatsby, you get better and get home, sweetie!

I am so glad to hear the surgery went well. I hope this fixes his problem! Keep us posted.

I'm so glad to hear that Gatsby's surgery went well. They'll probably keep him for 2-3 days. I think that my Storm was ready to go home on the 2nd day. I hope that he'll have a speedy recovery and will never have any more UT problems ever again. Please continue to keep us updated when you can and take care.

We had a long (2 1/2 hour) drive home in a nasty rainstorm, but Gatsby is back home at last. I've got him confined to a fairly large dog crate for now, to keep him from trying to jump onto the desk or his cat tree. He hates his cone and doesn't much like the crate, and he's all kinds of woozy from the pain meds. But I think he's glad to be home.

Gatsby, sending healing wishes your way. I hope you never, ever, have any more UT problems! Meowmie, can you give your precious boy hugs and kisses from me?

Welcome home, Gatsby! After some sleep, maybe you will be up to eating some food and getting lots of love from your mom!

You just need that cone for a few days til you heal up some.

I have seen collapsible cones.

I think there are other brands...but these look comfy.

Prayers that Gatsby heals quickly and well!
