I hoep Alani heals soon!

Cole is on a hypoallergenic food, but both he and Oscar were on the MediCal SO (urinary) dry and wet before that and had no problems. It was Cole's arthritis in his back legs that contributed to his weight gain, not the food. With Metacam he has slimmed down some.

Prayers for your beautiful fluffy boy!

Thanks again everyone. Yes, he's now home and here's the story:

Yesterday was pretty crazy. I knew that Alani would need a different type of litter so I went to Petsmart and bought fragrance free feline pine litter so I wouldn't have to go after work. Well I found out that I can only use either crystals or the newspaper type of litter. After work I then had to go home first and get the feline pine litter and then go back to the store and exchange it for newspaper litter. Luckily it was an even exchange. Then I went to go pick up Alani. He's doing very well and is very alert for a cat that's on pain meds. I didn't get home until almost 9pm and they gave him his clavamox and pain medicine there so I didn't have to worry about it last night. I have him in a large dog crate in my bathroom for at least the next 7 days. He's already gotten out of the soft e-collar as well as the plastic e-collar. I have to be sure that the plastic e-collar is on very tightly. Last night when I got home, I had to put a few things away so I put his carrier in the bathroom for a bit. When I opened the door a cat ran out of the bathroom and down the hall way. I thought that some how Blaze had gotten locked in the bathroom. No, it was Alani. He had gotten out of his carrier and e-collar. Then I caught him and put the plastic e-collar on him and I decided to look at his incision again. There wasn't one because I had caught the wrong cat! It was Blaze! I had to take the e-collar off and then find Alani. He was in the cat room ready to run under the bed. He did but he ran under and out the door so I closed the door and tried to catch him. He was running all over the place. I finally caught him and put the plastic e-collar on him but he later got out of it. This is when I knew I had to double loop it and make sure it was on very tight. So far he's now kept it on. He didn't want to eat very much this morning he mainly wanted lovin's. I hope that everything will go smoothly for the next 7 days. He needs to be seen again on Tues. at 9:30am.

Aside from money, the main reason I couldn't get the PU surgery for Ming was that the care for him would have been extensive and with my work and school schedule at the time, there would seldom have been anyone home to care for him and watch him. My vet put the cost at an astromomical amount for this surgery. I hopy your vet is cheaper.
