Storm Needs Surgery ASAP!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for all of the prayers everyone. It has been a very long stressful day but Storm's surgery went very well. Yes, he had the same surgery that Cirrus had so now I'm much more prepared. The doctor also did an ultrasound to check out his kidneys and she found a cyst on one of kidneys. She said that it's nothing to worry about. I sure hope that this won't cause him any pain in the future.
I'm so glad that AmberLee was there with me. She made the whole ordeal much easier for me. Hopefully if all goes well, I'll be able to take him home on Sunday morning. I also bought a large cage for him to help confine him. I sure hope this will work. I'm also still waiting for his blood test results to come back. The ER doctor was concerned that he might have a kidney infection because they found a lot of bacteria in his urine. He didn't have any crystals or stones this time so I think his blockage was due to scar tissue and possibly a very bad UTI. Thanks again for all of your concerns. PT prayers are the best. I'll keep you updated when I can.

Poor Storm.How painful this must be for him.Why does this happen so much in cats?They get blocked so easy.I've never heard that they get blocked with scar tissue though.That's worse than crystals.Both are bad.I wish I knew why this happens to them.It seems so very common.I can't imagine the pain all the homeless ones get in when this happens when noone is around to help them.Prayers for Storm from here to him.

I'm so glad that's all over and now Storm can concentrate on his speedy recovery.

That's wierd that he was blocked because of the tissue. What's the surgery called that he had?

Take care, Tracey. Thanks Pauline for being there for Tracey.

The surgeon called me this morning and said that Storm's doing very well. He's peeing on his own and should be able to go home tomorrow morning. I'll be picking him up at 9am unless her schedule changes. Now I just have to set up his cage, litter box, bed, food and water dishes. I'll try to take some pictures of him tomorrow depending on how he's feeling. He's going to have a bald tummy and bottom though. Thanks again for all of your concerns and get well wishes.

Kelly, the surgery that he had is called perineal urethrostomy. They basically cut off the tip of his penis so that he now has a larger opening. They also remove all other external male parts so now he looks just like a female cat on the outside and he'll also pee like one too. Some cats can continue to get bad UTI's because of the larger opening. Hopefully he won't. Cirrus has been fine so far.

Sorry for the late response, but I am so glad to hear that Storm's surgery went well and he is doing so much better.

Prayers on the way that he continues to do so.

Tracey, I have not been posting much but please know that I have been praying for Storm all along. I'm so glad to hear that the sir jury went well but it's not over yet. I'll continue my prayers until he's safe at home in your arms and all better.

[smokey the elder]

I'm glad the plummin' sir jury came out OK. I bet Storm is relieved to have a good pee.

[Barbara]

I am happy to hear Storm does fine

He will be so happy to be home again and so will you
