Pouncer's not eating

[catnapper]

We have a 10:40 appointment this morning. Any guesses as to where the little guy has gotten to? He spent all night with us in bed til about an hour ago and now he's vanished. Where can a sick little boy be hiding? I have 45 minutes to locate him and coax him into a carrier.

I am one nervous meowmie. I didn't sleep for anything last night because he's so sick. He wasn't even recognising my touch when I was petting him during the night. You kow how they usually rub into your hand when giving chin scritches and rubbing ears? He didn't even notice. No purrs at all during the night. I kept hoping I'd feel his tummy vibrate from purrs.....

Oh my, I am so sorry to hear that Pouncer isn't feeling well. Many prayers coming from Indiana that the white coats can make him better.... FAST!

Oh Puncer, come out, come out, wherever you are! We know you are scared, but Meowmie needs to help you feel better.

[Catty1]

Poor Pouncer - come on, baby, let meowmie find you - you'll get better!

Good Luck!

Poor guy, I hope he isn't hiding too well. They seem to know.

I'm scared for him.I hope he's not hiding somewhere to give up hope
Hoping everything is OK with Pouncer.I know he's in the best of hands with you and your vet.

I found him.... its wasn't hard to spot him - hiding in plain sight. I was was searching his hidey holes figuring he was curled up somewhere. He looks so sad. We're leaving now. Please wish us good luck. I have a bad feeling here..... something tells me that he's VERY sick and I'm going to have a bad vet visit.

Kim,

Please call me when you find out what the problem is. You guys are in my prayers.

I'm back from the vet already.... without Pouncer.

He's staying behind for surgery. She'll call me later with details, especially if they find something they hadn't anticipated on finding. I can't stop crying, my poor little boy. At least now he'll be fixed so that he won't block again. He might get UTI's but he'll never block again. I can handle that.

I felt so guilty for not taking him this weekend but the vet quickly told me that she knows I know what I'm doing with regard to his bladder and that I would have called if I noticed immenent danger. She also told me that the emergency vet wouldn't have done much because they don't take payment plans.... and it would have been twice the cost.

She said they no longer take payment plans because too many people have neglected to pay, but she said Pouncer's file is too thick to NOT do the surgery. All I have to do is write out a series of postdated checks for them to put in his file for the next million months.

Oh man, my stomach is doing flip-flops. My heart is in my throat, and my head hurts from crying.

Well, at least you know that Pouncer is receiving the best care possible and that soon he won't be in any pain or discomfort. It really does affect our physical health whenever any of our furkids are sick. But now you can comfort yourself w/the knowledge that Pouncer is in good hands. Glad you found him safe. I'm sure that gave you a fright. He's on the mend now. Just keep telling yourself that. A candle burns for you both.

Blessings,
Mary

That's great news Kim.I'm surprised they just don't bill you instead of post dated checks.
What ever is great as long as they help Pouncer to get his bladder fixed
Try to be be calm until the phone call after the surgery.Good Luck Dear Pouncer.And Dear Kim.

So Pouncer WAS blocked?? And the surgery is the PU surgery??

Many prayers on the way. Having gone through this with Rutherford, I feel Pouncer will do quite well. Hang in their Meowmie, your boy will be home soon. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

[Zippy]

I will keep Pouncer and you in my prayers.

Poor Pouncer - I hope he is back with you soon
