A thought and prayer for Storm. Please heal.

We all know that there just isn't anything quite like Mom to make you feel better.

Well done Tracey...........prayers continue that he will be his old self again soon.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awww....poor Stormy needed his meowmy. That is so sweet and heart breaking. I feel so bad for him, but if he'll just cooperate and drink, everything will be healed and back to normal in no time.

Glad things are going better Tracey, and it sounds like you've found a great vet. One that will call you at home like that is hard to find these days.

[NoahsMommy]

ohhhh, sweet Storm. I'll be praying a lot that your recovery will go quicker for you. Poor guy.

Glad he's in better spirits around you, Tracey. That's so sweet.

Please give him lots of gentle kisses from his auntie Kelly.

Aww nothing like being with meowmie to make a kitty feel better.

Storm, sweetie, please drink more so you can start being on the road to recovery and meowmie can stop worrying so much about you.

Prayers still on the way.

(((((HUGS))))) for you Tracey.

Lots of healing vibes winging their way to Storm tonight! Hope you both have another cuddlesome night!

Hi everyone. I'm sorry that I haven't updated you sooner but I've been quite busy. Last night was a very difficult night. Storm refused to eat so I force fed him some of his canned food mixed with yogurt. Shortly after that he had a lot of diarrhea. I had talked to the surgery place before and they recommended that I feed him chicken and rice to help his diarrhea.

I called AmberLee and she was able to give me a little bit of rice and some canned pumpkin too. My roommate gave me a chicken breast too. I cooked the rice and chicken last night and Storm ate some of it this morning. I was also able to force feed some of the pumpkin down him last night. He just seems miserable to me. The pains meds help relax him so he doesn't cry at night. I have enough antibiotics to last me until this Friday and now I have to pick up more antibiotics to give him for 10 more days after that. I sure hope his tummy won't be too stressed from all of this.

I'm also going to try to buy a bag of sub-q fluids because this really seemed to make him feel better on Monday. The receptionist just needs to ask the vet if this will be okay. Hopefully it will because he sure doesn't like me squirting water down his throat. I think he may have a slight sore throat from the anesthesia.

Thanks again for all of your concerns and many thanks again to AmberLee for being there for me and allowing me to borrow the rice and pumpkin. BTW Sky loved the pumpkin and licked the bowl clean.

Oh Tracey, I'm so sorry things are not going smoother for you and sweet Stormy. {{{hugs}}} to both of you and good thoughts and prayers going out that things will start to ease up - and heal up - quickly.

Oh Tracey, I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time of it with sweet Storm. Is he peeing yet?

[Logan]

Tracey, you certainly have your hands full. I'm glad you have good friends like Pauline and your roommate to help you out. Sure wish the rest of us were closer to offer you more support.

We're praying for Stormey, and for you!

Yes, he's been peeing a couple of times a day. I think as long I keep him hydrated he'll pee.

If he WON'T drink, the Sub-Q method will keep him hydrated;
but Boots, da Kat, was NOT fond of "drinking" through
the needle stuck between his shoulder blades, either!

Try adding some "Flavour" to his water cup:
Add some gravy or meat juice...
Float some Kat Crunchies in the water...
Add some liquid from a can of Tuna...
ANYthing to add some odor to the water.

And SKIP the KLAM Juze!
THAT dindn't go over well AT ALL!
(*Stinks*, too!
