Prayers for Sam

[mrspunkysmom]

Thanks surgery is tomorrow, Thursday. I may pop by a local urgent care myself.

I do hope they listen to me and not let the one vet perform the surgery.

Purryers on the way to Sam and you: Good luck with the surgery.

Prayers and love are being sent from us to Sam that the surgery goes well.

He is and is not interested in eating so I may have to give him a stimulant. He was interested in sitting by a window, so I lifted him to the cat tree. We had a great love session, too.

I still think at times, he's not sure where he is.

I will call the vet in the morning and see if they will give me some hypos of an alternative antibiotic. No fluids last night but i will give some tonight.

Aww, when he's felling better, I am sure his appetite will spring back, but in the meantime, will he even take some chicken soup or the always favorite (stinky) clam juice?

[mrspunkysmom]

Yeah, today he's not interested in the baby food or chicken broth or soup. I got some chicken soup/stew on the stove now. If he doesn't do that I've got to figure out how to get the appetite stimulant in him. He gets sub-Q tonight. Perhaps I have make a powder of the pill and get it on his tongue.

Our prayers and positive thoughts are going out for Sam. Once our vet put RB Groucho on medication and gave me something to wrap the pill in that tasted like a treat. I don't remember what it's called (sorry) but you might want to mention it to your vet. Sending lots of feel better lovies and scritchies to Sam.

His mouth is so sore that licking and slurping are all he can do. poor baby.

More prayers and lovies for dear Sam.

Have you tried a pill popper? For over a year I had to pill 2 cats 2 times per day. I asked my vet for a pill popper and she gave me one for free. It made pilling them a breeze!

Thank you all for the prayers. We still need them. I apologize fo the late post. I thought I had posted here.

The surgery has been postponed for several reasons: Sam is still dehydrated by 6%, he is slightly anemic, and his white cell count his a little high. The doc is afraid he won't do well under anesthesia because of the dehydration and anemia, but she left it up to me. So I have to give him fluids every day now and have him checked next week. He got a shot of XNL (?) and some more appetite stimulant. That works quick because he ate right away when he got home. She wasn't keen about me injecting him with an antibiotic, but said if the antibiotic worked the first two days, she would give me some to inject in his fluids.

She thinks there is something else going on. I mentioned the swelling on the right side. She said his teeth didn't look that bad. I'm wondering if a fragment was left in by the previous dentist.

So this is a wait and see.

Now off to the human doc for my sinuses.
